We'd ALL be more grumpy.

Lucas gets paid in shares.
Star Wars goes mainstream.
Lego Star Wars sell like hotcakes.
Disney make money.
Lucas reaps dividends.
Profit.

Not true, I've been told I've got a bit of Ethan Hawke going on. I heard it in bigfooty so it must be true.



You got me.

We rummaged through the fridge as well.



Indeed it was always fun, it was like our party house. I should mention and the BF at the time never had an issue with it, always seen the humour.

I am the most naive person when it comes to 'adult' behaviour. That's why I never knew. Also I never went much on gossip when there was nerd shit to be discussed. Whenever I caught sound of who was rooting who, I would look elsewhere for something more to my liking, like compare and contrast analysis between British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance.

Stop, and I say that without a hint of humour.

Stop, and I say that without a hint of humour.

Why?

 

[raman]

Firstly - every time someone says 'this person looks like someone famous' they never actually do. It's just their infatuation goggles talking.

Hah, this reminds me of a time more than a decade ago I was having drinks with a few people I didn't know very well at the Melbourne film festival, and I told this girl that she looked exactly like Claire from Six Feet Under.

What I discovered in that awkward moment was that it's literally impossible to tell a woman she looks like a beautiful celebrity without coming off as creepy. Hand on my heart I wasn't trying anything (her boyfriend was right there, apart from anything else...) but for some reason it can't not sound like you are, when you do that.

Anyway I remember the experience because the lesson has served me well several times since.

(She really did though)

Melburnians (some?) (one?) have a deep lack of respect for their city

Passenger finds poo on Melbourne train seat

A passenger on a Melbourne train was horrified to find a pile of steaming poo on a seat.

A reporter for Fairfax media, took a photo of the offending sight, writing: “There is a POO on my train. It smells.”

Or was it a parting remark from some visitor?

Maybe it was "Poo spootted on training "

You're kidding yourself if you think Adelaide's public transport has a poo-free record. My dad is a bus driver for TT and he's told me of the horrors.

Where I work, in Adelaide, we have signs in the toilet cubicles telling people not to wipe excrement on the walls. These signs are regularly ignored.

Mrs Wharfie buses to and from work and a few months back someone took a dump on the seat in the bus shelter at the bus stop where she catches the bus.

I heard on ABC radio this morning that an emo is in control of our power distribution network. Are emos still a thing and why is one in charge of our power network?

One time I went to use the toilets at the Marion Megaplex and someone had left a perfectly spiraled turd on the seat. Close but no cigar pal!

Do you work at parliament house?

Sooooo....it turns out the oft repeated story of German women being r*ped by refugees on New Years Eve last year was a hoax, you know the stories your racist mate on Facebook probably shared or your Grandma forwarded to your email? The Bild (Germany's national tabloid) has admitted fabricating the story

Media in this country are dead set parasites. Almost on Papparazzi level.

It's more about clickbait and selling shitty papers than investigative journalism

scouring Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit and BigFooty for stories is considered journalism these days

We have organisations running campaigns on mental health and depression awareness and anti-bullying yet the campaigners in the media make Grant Hackett's mental health issues front page news.

It would be more of a help not to slam his face all over the paper and instead on p3 have an small story about it and a big advert for those organisations.

They wonder why people like G Hackett don't come out and say they have an issue.
