Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[tribey]

After sitting through my partners UniSA graduation ceremony today, I will never. Ever. Ever, subject myself or my family to that absolute shit when I graduate.

Started with a huge video patting the Uni on the back and asking people to study with them. Relentlessly mentioning the Alumni club for graduates.

Second was a slow filing in of the "brains trust" of UniSA to music that sounded an awful lot like the start of Star Wars.

Third was the singing of the ******* national anthem, at a ******* University graduation. What the **** is this?

Fourth was the "occasional address" from some crazy feminazi bitch banging on about how she assisted Gillard with her misogyny speech, and how she has written books on misogyny.

Fifth was 2 hours of reading name out, person files up to the stage, gets certificate, walks off.

Sixth More mentioning of the alumni club for graduates.

Seventh was the filing out of the brains trust, to the same star wars music. Very...slowly.

Eighth was 20 minutes to leave the place because they only opened one exit.

Seriously, what a bunch of self important wank. I'll just take my bit of paper and work on being productive without that shit, thanks.

Flinders is just as bad. Glorified renaissance fair.

The only thing that got me through was picturing the more attractive graduettes with but a wisp of the finest phannyphloss 'neath their medieval attire.

Youse guys make me chuckle. Just wanted to say.

Welcome. Yes, there's some really funny people here. Feel free to participate.

So GM has recalled 1.5 million cars after 12 deaths linked to a faulty ignition switch.

I guess A x B x C = X and X greater than the cost of a recall in this case.

 

[I Dont Care]

Can we all please agree to only refer to Impey as Impey and not as Jarman? Thanks

What about Impman? Jarpey?

I looked after my friends and family by barely completing Year 12.

I'm a nice guy like that.

Maybe it's just me but does the Gold Coast club song sound like a gay Nazi parade?

Hard to say, it's been years since I've been to a gay Nazi parade.

This came to my attention courtesy of something else someone sent me. An instant classic in cruelly funny video clips IMO

Having the opening of the iconic US Major League Baseball season at the Sydney Cricket Ground between the LA Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend has taken sports fans back in time to the day when the greatest stars of the two sports shared the same galaxy.

The year was 1932 and Bradman and Ruth, icons of their sports, created headlines simply by sitting with each other at a baseball match in New York.

“I'll try this cricket business,’’ said Ruth, the legendary home run hitter who dominated his sport in the 1920s and 30s. “Maybe it’s my game.

“Now why don’t you put on a Yankee uniform and see what you can do against our style of pitching?’’ he quipped to Bradman.

“Maybe baseball is your game.’’

Ruth was surprised by Bradman’s small stature.

“From what they were telling me, I thought you were a husky guy.

“But us little fellows can hit them harder than the big ones.’’

Three years later Ruth kept his promise to try cricket and faced a series of first-class bowlers in a special session beside the river Thames in London, enjoying it so much he was late for a lunch appointment with his wife.

Australian Test allrounder Alan Fairfax was his coach that day and said it would take him only a fortnight to make Babe “one of the world’s greatest batsmen’’. Not that he was interested. “They tell me $40 a week is top pay in cricket. I will stick with baseball,’’ he said.

Ruth initially tried to stand like a cricketer at the crease but after feeling awkward went back to batting like a baseballer and clubbed the ball so hard the bat handle broke. Even though he had never heard the terms deep mid-wicket or “cow corner’’ that was where many deliveries he faced disappeared to.

Until then interesting that the one on the far right has 'Best kisser' written over her Syd. Would be an interesting sort of kiss, yes. But best?

 

[Portia]

What about Impman? Jarpey?

I was going to suggest Halfman or Devil Monkey, but yeah...maybe not PC for people that don't know Game of Thrones.

The courses were 95% women as it was education. Shamefully, most of them were also very fat, and wearing very short dresses. It was bloody awful. They seemed to confuse "smart business dress" with "stripper dress". It was insanity.

The human species is gradually phasing out the shame gene.

Meanwhile, on Saturday the 29th.

I see this at the races every other week.

Ladies - Are required to maintain a suitable standard in keeping with the

Apparently it is traditional to show people what you had for breakfast.

The courses were 95% women .... Shamefully, most of them were also very fat, and wearing very short dresses. It was bloody awful ....

Was in town with the missus the other night, in the swirl of people in the east end of the city related to Fringe stuff. Three women walked past all dressed near identically in minimal nightclub clothing.
The trouble was they looked like the female versions of the (L to R) 1st, 4th and 6th characters in the graphic below. No. 6 was hot, no. 4 was the one no. 6 would normally take with her to places to make herself look hotter, no. 1 was very badly advised to be out with the first two and in what she was wearing.

I wonder when it will change, these things go through phases. This one has been going for probably a decade now. At least it makes the conservatively dressed chicks look hotter.

Our Jarman's now selling amazing celebrity weight loss products...



Is there anything he can't do?

Notice the capitalisation of each word. Subtle Jarman is subtle.

Some chick told me it was Britney Spears fault.

She started wearing bras that didn't match her clothes (i.e. normal shoulder straps with a boob tube) and the world spiralled out of control from there.

I am genuinely astounded and deeply sympathetic for the hardship you guys must be going through, seeing such outrageous hambeasts living their lives with no concern for your opinions on aesthetics and fashion.

PS. Guys, as long as you have a tie on, your beergut is ok. Right?

The problem is they are concerned with opinion, and that is why they are wearing it in the first place.

I for one encourage partial to full public nudity.
