Why does news.com. and foxsports have to have a video open with each story, let me choose if I want the video....!

I couldn't care less what you're listening to on Spotify.

This annoys me just about more than anything else on the internet.

You are now manually breathing.

Is your tongue in a comfortable position?

I just read through the last page of the Eddie McGuire/Adam Goodes thread on the main board. In it, a Collingwood supporter has actually wasted a significant amount of time to prove just how ignorant a human can be. Unfortunately it's locked now, so I can't express my disgust in that thread.

He goes through a lookalike thread, finding pictures of white footballers being compared to monkeys (some of these were simply their expression, such as mouth wide open). He then says "I don't see any mention of racial vilification here!" Really, Einstein? I wonder why that is.

But then he takes the cake. He shows a post of someone likening Adam Goodes to the world's hairiest man, as if it's a sign of hypocrisy. He's basically calling the world's hairiest man a monkey and thinking he's showing how this isn't racism.

Words fail me.

What the girl did was dumb, and really not much worse than what a lot of other people do, except the impact of it was a lot greater.

What Eddie Maguire did was dumb as well, very dumb. He certainly didn't mean anything offensive by it, but he was dumb to think it wouldn't cause offense. It happens.

While trying to found it if adam goodes was actually offended by Maguire (I honestly thought he wouldn't care what Eddie Maguire says, ever) I found this blog post... pretty much sums up my feelings about this pretty well

That was actually a pretty decent blog! Surprised me. It's a tough one - it's true there's the feeling of a whole bunch of white journos coming to the defence of the indigenous like they're being saviours, which can then spark off the annoying "THE WORLD IS TOO PC! IT'S GONE MAD!" brigade. But on there other hand, there needs to be at least some outcry when this situation arises - if we just let it go through to the keeper, someone else will spout off racial remarks, and someone else and it'll become a snowball effect.

I just get most annoyed by those who go out of their way to claim it wasn't racist. The ones who think they get to be the judge of how an individual indigenous person is allowed to feel when faced with racism. Just makes me hate people.

i think in australia specifically between the opinions of yhe topic are so far apart on all sides that a middle ground is almost impossible to find even when they are trying to close the gap

Someday
You will hear me sing a love song
Someday
I'll find a girl to call my own

Bringing it all together
Doing it on my own
Walking hand in hand like lovers
And if you wished upon the moon
Then it maybe one day soon

Sunday
Monday
Tuesday - is pizza day

Bringing it all together
Doing it on my own
Walking hand and hand like lovers
And if you wished upon the moon
Then it maybe one day soon.

Dear Eddie,

Mail arrives in the morning
I'm hoping for good news
Another letter from a girl that I don't know
Another letter full of no news

You don't tell me anything
You just go on and on
And you don't make no sense

You try to tell me that you love me
But we ain't never met
You try to say you're gonna be my one and only
But I wouldn't take no bet

You don't tell me anything
You just go on and on
And you don't make no sense

Dear Jumbo,

You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip, Skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions. The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal. The revolution will not get rid of the nubs. The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother. There will be no pictures of you and Willie May pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 or report from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process. There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the proper occasion. Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised. There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be right back after a message bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat. The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised. The revolution will be no re-run The revolution will be live.

Dear Eddie,



size

Handwriting is made up of three zones - or cases - middle, upper and lower. A basic average measure - or benchmark - by which size can be judged is 3mm per zone. This gives a benchmark for a non-remarkable full height of 9mm. More than this is large; less than this is small.
Large size handwriting can mean extravert and outgoing, or it can mean that the writer puts on an act of confidence, although this behaviour might not be exhibited to strangers.
Small size can, logically, mean the opposite. Small size handwriting can also indicate a thinker and an academic, depending upon other features in the script.
If the writing is small and delicate, the writer is unlikely to be a good communicator with anyone other than those on their own particular wavelength. These people do not generally find it easy to break new ground socially.

Small is good for you Eddie

Dear Jumbo,

I met her at the Living Earth Show
She crossed the room, the lights sank low
We're together, she really digs me -- she f**ks me
Who could think I could be so happy?
When I'm cold, I know she's keepin' me warm
We're together, she really digs me -- she f**ks me

She's in my arms, she's in my heart, yeah
Pins and needles up and down my spine
We're together, she really digs me now
She f**ks me, she f**ks me
She f**ks me

She f**ks me

Dear Eddie,
Teeny Weeny writing and Ween songs, but what does it mean?

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Dear Jumbo,

I know, I know, you see me as your own
And you like that
I know, I know, you have to be alone
'Cause you are like that

O-oceans of pa-assion, withi-in your eye-eyes
Don't wanna be your posse-e-ession
The first ti-i-ime

Too-oo young, don't you think
To-oo promise anything
Too-oo young, can't you see
Understand me and let me be
Too-oo young, don't you think
To-oo promise anything
Too-oo young, don't you know
Understand me and let me go
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ay, I'm too young for promises

I know, I know, you got to prove your proud
'Cause you're like that
I know, I know, you make me speak in tones
'Cause you are like that

Chan-anges of seasons, I haven't lived through-ough
Tell what you want and have free-ee-eedom
So what do I do-oo

I'm too-oo young, don't you think
To-oo promise anything
Too-oo young, can't you see
Understand me and let me be
Ah-ay, Too-oo young, don't you think
To-oo promise anything
Too-oo young, don't you know
Understand me and let me go
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm too young for promises
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ay, I'm too young for promises

I'm too-oo young, don't you think
To-oo promise anything
Too-oo young, can't you see
Understand me and let me be
(To young for promises)
I'm too-oo young, don't you see
To-oo promise anything.

Love Eddie.

I'm enjoying this tete a tete. It's like a very random night of Rage.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Dear Jumbo,

Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
and the guns went off in my chest
Remember carrying the baby for you
Crying in the wilderness

I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
I cut them off as limbs
I drove out over the flatlands
hunting down you and him

The sky was big and empty
My chest filled to explode
I yelled my insides out at the sun
At the wide open road

it's a wide open road, it's a wide open road

How do you think it feels
sleeping by yourself?
when the one you love, the one you love
is with someone else

Then it's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
And now you can go any place
that you ever wanted to go

I wake up in the morning
thinking I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
then I realise

It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
