Maybe you slept so well a mate took advantage of you sleeping with your mouth open and it really isn't dribble.

Maybe.

I used to tell my missus that the hair gel fairy would pay a visit whenever she passed out drunk...

 

[Stromageddon]

One day I ran out of hair gel and used toothpaste instead.

It doesn't. James Baker was the original drummer of the Hoodoo Gurus who was booted out by the record company after their first album. He owned and ran a hot dog vendor and would often be seen outside gigs around inner city Sydney selling his hotdogs in the 1980's.

Better result for James Baker than what happened to Arthur the original bass player.

You know you've slept well when there's dribble on your pillow.

I've been checking out airbnb for a few nights accommodation in San Francisco in a couple of weeks. Great service but it seems like every middle-aged, single man in the bay area has a room to let to travellers. Maybe I'll make some new friends?

BTW, is there an antidote for roofies?

Read above for results.

 

[Oliver King]

I don't know Limp Bizkit but I do know what they have done to The Who before with Behind Blue Eyes

Yeah, they murdered it.

 

[edgie]

Yeah, they murdered it.

So is My Generation another cover or just a coincidence?

Coincidence.

I really don't like Chris Lilley's new (old) concept. Ja'mie has been done to death, and it doesn't work without other characters to break it up.

It's still funny in places though.

I had a dream last night that there was a marking contest, and Chad Wingard flew from absolutely nowhere to take the grab.

Seemed quite believable.

It's hardly a random thought if it happens on a daily basis.

That wasn't a dream, you were just watching the end of Showdown 35.

 

[bomberclifford]

Very excited about tonights gig.
You young people have a listen and learn a bit about music....

How was it Eddie Dingle?

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Yeah ****ing awesome mate.

Ed Kuepper was the loudest I have ever heard one man and an acoustic guitar and he was on form and in a good mood which is an important combination when you see him live. Played a Laughing Clowns track I hadn't heard for years too which was a bonus.

Television were outstanding. Would see again tonight if I could. The guitar work by Tom Verlaine and Jimmy Rip had to be heard (and seen I guess) to be believed.

5 stars.

Police have found what is believed to be more explosives as they scour Australind after yesterday's dramatic operation to blow up chemicals already found in the same area.
TATP, the homemade explosives detonated by police yesterday were the same as those used in the 2005 London bombings that killed 52 people.
A 1km exclusion zone has been placed around an Australind jetty.

Not cool. My Grandma lives next to Australind shopping centre a little over a kilometre from the Jetty.

You West Aussies are going to have to go and vote in a senate re-election if the AEC can't find those missing 1,400 votes.

If the AEC declare a winner with the ballots still missing, this is going to the high court with one of the senate candidates appealing the result.

I have a funny feeling that if we have to vote again, the sports party will have a member in the Senate.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I have a funny feeling that if we have to vote again, the sports party will have a member in the Senate.

I suspect that the preference deals will be exposed and explained/revealed and a lot more people will be filling out all the boxes below the line rather than just 1 above the line.

I wasn't being entirely serious haha. That said, the sports party gained a fair bit of momentum after the election through the exposure that they received.

They haven't said which Senate seat it is yet have they?

 

[powermacs]

So I just watched the human centipede 2. Don't think I've ever been so close to vomiting while watching a movie.

Technically the senate doesn't have a seat. You have to obtain a quota to get voted into the senate. On first preference votes The Libs got 2.7 quotas and Labour 1.8 quotas. So only 3 of the 6 senators got voted in on first preference votes.

The next 3 had to be determined by allocation of the preferences. If you have a look at the following page and how parties/independents votes are allocated via preferences either below the line or 1 above the line method where the preferences are determined by the party, you will see how complicated it is, that you had to go 29 rounds of allocation of preferences and why you need a full senate re-election.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/federal-election-2013/results/senate/wa/

If you look at the SA vote, Nick Xenophon got 24.89% of the vote or 1.7 quotas and the Liberals 1.9 quotas and the Labor party 1.5 quotas. So again 3 senators automatically got voted in and 3 had to be determined via preferences.

The Xenephon Group votes were basically a vote for him, because nobody knew who his running mate was. But because the way the preference deals were done, Xenephon's running mate missed out to the Family First candidate who 3.76% of the vote or 0.26 of a quota. Xenephon's running mate missed out to the Greens as well because they only got 7.09% and 0.49 of a quota. See

Seems legit. You should probably send her your credit card details to really cement the relationship.

That's all well and good if the African prince will let her free.
