Is Shayne Carter the pin-up boy from Flying Nun? Can a meaningful relationship be had with him, or is it all about sheer desire? Have I seen him live once? (Yes I have, with the Fits in 1993.) Can Brian do a spot-on imitation of him lisping the chorus to "She Screams"? (Yes he can.) Shayne Carter, ladies and gents! The man who will forever be known as the guy who sometimes collaborates with Alastair Galbraith.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

damn right, when we've all forgotten what he looks like he'll only be remembered for his guest appearances on the second and third Alastair Galbraith albums.

Are you trying to tell me, Ned, that i can't have a meaningful relationship with my teddy bear? I'll show you! My teddy bear has feelings, he bleeds just like anyone else.

When I was a fresher, I went to a Shayne Carter gig at Arc. Shayne was quite rude to the audience and straight off first thing he said that he "wasnt fucken gonna play 'she speeds'". Nobody had even asked him to.

Yes rainy thats a good reason why some people might not want to shag Shayne Carter. My desire is based on the fact that i've never met him.

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I really don't like teh way Shayne is spelt with a y, it seems somehow wrong, tarting up a good panelbeater's name like that.

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Does anyone know when Shayne's book is soming out?

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Its a response to Matthew Bannister's "Positively George Street", not Madonna's "Sex".

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I wish he would put poetry and musings in it like Jewel. maybe I could get one for the coffee table

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i have heard from many rports that shayne is an egotistical arrogant self-centred prat. that just makes me want him more.

― Mrs. Shayne Peter Carter, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

he said his book would have less lyrics in it than Matthew's so we won't get to see his beautiful teenangst lines in print. Whats everyone's favourite Shayne Carter lyric?

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"her speeding and her freedom's what's appealing to me to stop her in her tracks"

I don't like the lyric in "Hail" about heads exploding. otherwise, i love that song.

bye Menelaus. i'm stuck at the computers for a few more hours 'cos i'm trying to do some actual work (haha).

How about "My Gibson whispers nothing to me?" That one elways cracks me up.

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have only heard Melt once. didn't he look beautiful in the video of "bad note fpor a heart"? i think he was wearing make-up.

(waits for Shayne's post: "Ewww, I am a manly man, i do nt wear make-up!", to which i reply "You are right, oh man of my dreams, you do not require any enhancement, you are perfection."

― Mrs. Shayne Peter Carter, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

are you kidding hamish? i am going to the dimmer page to check up on you RIGHT NOW.

― My Love For Shayne Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Manly man yeah right, hes as faggy as that other closet celebrity Tom Cruise. Face it di and menelaus, neither of you stand a chance - you don't have the required apparatus.

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My strap on is bigger than yours hamish

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

oh okay Mene you win. i'm sure Duane's van will come in useful for the consummation of your relationship with Shayne.

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, and I'll promise not to reverse afterwards

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

― Shayne's Pre-Op Tranny, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I've just been in for a preliminary consultatio for an arsehole transfer. I want everything to be fresh and new for my Shayne

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Why doesn't everyone in the world want to shag Shayne Carter?

Cos who would want to be like us freaks?

― di, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

when they see Shayne Carter they will be powerless to resist.

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

hey shayne...lets be cats together.

― di, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Shayne do I appear in your dreams and give you an immense feeling of love?

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Question: Does the last name of the ubiquitous Hamish begin and end with an N, perchance? Six letters?

― David Raposa, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yeah so where do you know our man from daver?
hey hamish couldnt you've said "root" instead of "shag"? that would've been much better.

― duane, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

When Shayne steals my cherry, it'll be LoveMaking, with a capital L. none of your crude vulgarities, duane zarakov, to cheapen my experience.

― Under The Satin Sheets With Shayne In The Candlelight, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I do believe I purchased my copy of the Doublehappys' album from Mr. Hamish back in The Day via the Interweb. He runs a tape label of some sort, yes? Bunch of obscure noisy New Zealand greatness (I'm guessing - haven't heard any of it)? Lots of Greek lettering? The things I remember...

― David Raposa, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think you are being selfish Di, Duane, Hamih and David, would you care to join me

― Peeking through the windows with a video camera and television crew, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yeah thats right David. Yeah i sold that record complete with the semi-nude insert - am i still allowed in the fanclub di?

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

have you no respect for the sanctity of our marriage, mene?

― Shayne Likes Me Best In French Lace, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No.

― The Widow Maker, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i don't know hamish. i'm having serious doubts about the authenticity of your fandom.

― Wifey, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Wifey? thoroughly domesticated aren't we?

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i would do anything for that man.

― Yes Master, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Fetch me a cup of coffee woman

― Shayne Carter, in the Physio Lab, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, Master. Would you like soy milk? Sugar? Frothy on the top? I'll even bring you the newspaper and the remote control.

― I Dream Of Shayney, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

flat white w/ milk not soy, newspaper and a block of chocolate pllease. When you are s small as I am you have to eat lots of sugar and stuff so you don't faint in mid performance.

― Menelaus Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dunedin get a room! Blimey!!

― mark s, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

oh you curmudgeon.

― di, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

a room with video-streaming CCTV and a microphone hidden in the lamp obviously
