It was 21 today, and totally sunny and fabulous!!

As to hoarding, I recommend the couch cushions, can usually find at least forty cents.

 

[Jono]

I have around 400 5c pieces they are welcome to come, pick up and deposit into my account for me.

I usually manage to get a few hundred in my big money tins before I take them to the bank. I buy those big tins with the $10 note on them whixh I am sure are available in shops all over Australia. I always plan to get one absolutely full but so far I Have cashed them in when only half full. Having $1 and $2 coins makes saving a lot easier.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I put all my change on my myki card so this plan of tins would not work.

Apaz it is all about dicks:

Well, Keating would know, being one himself.

To more lofty topics: keep an eye on SBS - they are soon to show a new documentary series, 'The Real History of Sci3ence Fiction'.

I love SBS, no one else would show stuff like this.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Oh really! Keep us updated if you remember. I don't have actual TV but I will find a way to watch that

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I suddenly remembered I have this video:

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/video/various_artists_f2/the_money_or_the_gun__stairways_to_heaven/

It was never released on dvd though you can get a cd of it, though that's obviously missing out on a lot of the fun. That was a great show, I loved Denton. Actually I had something of a crush on Denton at one point

Anyone remember Denton's Stairway crawl? It satisfied my obsessive nature.

 

[Australis]

Met him, went to college in my home town. Played pool once, iirc. We were both terrible.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

aww.. that is sweet. He was a very funny man at times. No idea what he does now (really lose track of stuff with no tv).

 

[Australis]

Look up Zapruder's Other Films, the name of his production company, they make stuff like The Gruen Effect, which EVERYONE should watch!

 

[Australis]

^ Sorry, that should be Gruen Transfer.

Real History of SF is on SBS TONIGHT, 8:30. You've been warned!

(Actually it's pretty good, and accordsing to the paper, Nathan Fillion is on tonight).

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

How many people this weekend are planning on attending OZCC in Sydney. I'll be there all weekend, with the USS Tydirium group, as we have a stand this year. Gonna be a fun weekend.

 

[Australis]

Not this year,. maybe next. Depends on a LOT of things.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

They are a lot of fun though the smaller ones are more awesome. Missed this years ozcc in melb because I had the flu.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

We're high now man, HIGH!!

We must all do our duty and stare real hard at people on the trains.

 

[Australis]

Who's we?

I'm drunk now man, HAMMERED! After a sterewssfulk day, I feel much better.

I now do my personal thing and watch weid American crap, where rednecks with lines of Shakespearian dialogue abound

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

We is all the wide brown peeps. You know, Us. We are on HIGH ALERT we must watch each other carefully and be all carefully careful when we go to sporting events thank god I have never done such a thing so am safe.

I'm on the red now, chilled tempranillo.

 

[Australis]

That's the spirit! Don't let the terrorists terrorise you!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I will fucking drink them under their plotting plotty tables.
