Also technically he's not a clown and takes many forms as well.

Pennywise aint your everyday/Bozo/Eric kinda clown tho.

My maternal Grandma had a 'thing' for clowns, she had a room full of figurines, every wall covered with clown detritus. Creepy.

I don't think I'm 'afraid of clowns' per se, they really just agitate me.

 

[Shell]

That is srsly ****ing creepy.

Did I read that, many years ago? Maybe, but I haven't read many King books. Christine was pretty good, though.

I didnt actually get thru the book, I found it tedious and.. idk. Maybe I was a bit young tho, maybe I should give it another go.

Loved the mini series as a kid (brings back srs sleepover memories), and of course loved loved loved the newer version

*Also preferred Dean Koontz books over King's in general.

 

[cats_09]

To me about 3/4 attempts to get through the book

Found it had a really strong start but as Shell said, it got tedious and really had to force myself to finish it as I didn't want to leave it unread

Never read any but I thought he was like the Home Brand version of King.

I should go pay Joe Rogan a visit, he lives in Austin now.

First time I've seen Russell Brand do something in about 5 years to be fair.

Yeah I might give it another go. I owned a copy of that book when I was really young and probably had the attention span of a gnat.


Am about to pick up some old school books by John Marsden + Alison Klein. Once I finish those, and this other giant true crime book im reading, I'll put IT on order.

Russ is killing it at the moment. Which is good cause I always liked him.
Love Joe. Just knows how to talk to people.

i'd like to say mine has improved a lot but...

 

[Spazz Cat]

I had a dream where a hot dog kept going through a donut hole, what do you think it means?

Depends on what colour the donut was.

<<< see my av.

For Halloween.

I would of thought I'd hate Halloween as it just seems like a thing that would aggravate me.
But I've grown to like it and really looking forward to it this year.
The kids are more keen than Xmas.

 

[Spazz Cat]

F**k it. Just bought 150$ of DogeElon Mars.
Sounds like a respectable asset with utility.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Bloody hell it's tough finding accounting candidates of late in melb. What on earth has happened to them all

Maybe being smart with money they invested in coins with Dogs on them and don't have to work now.

 

[Spazz Cat]

And we're up!!!!!!!

 

[Spazz Cat]

And we crashed. F**k it.

I reckon its cos of covid I've lightened up about it.

Before this i was like "**** off its American" (even tho it didnt originate from there) but now Im "ah just have some fun, give the kids some candy".


Wouldnt decorate the house or anything like that tho..

 

[Shell]

Also perhaps maybe because here in Australia we do it "half assed" as opposed to the US and even England.

If everyone srsly got into it, maybe it'd be better idk..

 

[Shell]

Alriiiight got all the free internet I could poke a stick at, mum and dad are GORNE (ie. its peaceful) and i got free reign of the fridge and or other areas of the house.


#bliss.

Yeah im a bit the same. Get em out with friends and walk around. Have a bit of fun.

 

[Shell]

Oh yeah another reason- cause it doesnt get dark here till 9pm.

Hardly a good atmosphere for trick or treating in the brilliant sunshine at 6pm or whenever..
