Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[Eddie Dingle]

Do you insist on wearing stubbie shorts that make whoosh noises when you walk, and an akubra, like my dad does? I swear he just does it for a piss take, he doesn't really dress like that at home.

Well except the stubbie shorts, the stubbie shorts are glued on.

Your dad sounds awesome.

I'm going to start making a whoosh sound when I walk, not with my shorts though.

It really is off season isn't it. I feel like my IQ has dropped reading some of the posts on this thread.

Attention: If you are on medication then it is important to take your medication everyday people. It seem that some posters are going off meds.

Thankfully Dr Feel put in that beautiful pic of his gorgeous dog or i would be shitty that i've just lost a half an hour of my life that i'm never getting back.

So you are complaining that the thread that's supposed to be full of crap, is full of crap and to make it better instead of posting non crap you just moan about crap, causing me to post crap about your crap moaning about crap.

Absolutely and your point is Aesop?

I also added some important community information I thought.

Since when did we become such a sensitive lot?

 

[Power Girl]

Since footy is not being played and we're bored shitless

 

[charcolechaddy]

Why cant we privatise the government?

Sweating on the small things. I'm pissed at the ASADA verdict and hate Essendon, but I'll guiltily admit even the shit result has me glad to be talking football again, rather than threads that can't help, but set Port supporters against one another (we have enough opponents who hate us without going out of the way to find ways to piss each other off). Bring on the Pre-season games!

If our club can decide that they want good characters and not gargantuan knobs we can remind some people (sometimes bluntly) not to be one.

My point is that my post is as pointless as your post that was pointless about pointlessness.

Some years ago I worked with a guy (in his late 40's-early 50's at the time) who'd voice all his thoughts and ideas in the lunch room. One of these ideas was for the government to give every citizen $1m and if they blow it, they blow it, no more handouts. Unsurprisingly, he could also never understand why the government "don't just print money!".
But my favourite comment came just after the Twin Towers collapsed. "I don't understand why the people who jumped didn't just grab an umbrella and float to the ground".
Fast forward to the broadband Internet in every home era and.....well.....you know the rest.

So much could be accomplished if the government combined these two ideas and promised $1m to anyone who jumped off the top of the Eureka Tower in Melbourne with just an umbrella and lived. The Australian Darwin awards.

I sometimes miss my early days at Uni before the internet went mainstream.

I can't help but feel his life should've been the subject of a movie financed exclusively by the South Australian Film Corporation.

It was the best thing about corduroy trousers (look them up kids). Honourable mention to static-laden nylon body shirts.

how did you not get some kind of electrical burns in said bodysuit?

He wasn't that sort of "wacko". Very straight laced, from Murray Bridge, into cars (Fords to be precise), a bit of a hick. We worked at a Uni and he was convinced all the young girls perved at him. A female student I knew who went there described him to me as "comically ugly". His dream was to start a diner in Murray Bridge "like Arnold's in Happy Days".

Hey, Hope is versatile.

Had a mate in the navy who said a classic in response to 90 second shower restrictions due to limited water

"That's bullshit, I'm taking the full minute".


I still wonder if he thought time had moved to the metric system with 100 seconds

I worked with a mechanical fitter years ago who used to go on and on about the tiny tolerances he had to adjust certain components to. He was always talking in "thou", 5 thou this, 10 thou that. One day I asked him how many thou were there in an inch and his response was "there must be millions of the little bastards"
