Heh, everyone just come along anyway, have a beer with ol' Mikey, sooky la-la of the independent school system.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

I CAN'T DRINK BEER.

Nor can I buy rounds, unfortunately. Nor am I morally capable of sponging.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

FINE. BE THAT WAY.

Have a fuckin' Coke.

or revisit teenage years and get pissed on goon in the park before you arrive

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

Goon! I hadn't considered goon.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

what kind of crazy person fails to consider goon

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

The type of crazy that leaves six carriage returns at the end of the post.

Nor can I buy rounds,

Who buys rounds? I dont.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

sigh

there are many people in the world who buy rounds. in answer to the question of 'who'.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

of course nobody would be expecting adam to do so. round buying etiquette is surely dependent on the group involved.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

Yes, and would that I had the funds I'd be buying rounds orright.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

i buy rounds!!!

― haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

i buy rounds too!

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:51 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I was only speaking for myself re rounds, I didnt mean I assumed no one else does!

Man - I have to word things better, and Jim, why do you always sounds so pissed off at me lately? Hrm.

Ah well back to work...

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

(For the record: esp in large groups, I dont like to buy rounds and if I can I'll beg out of adrink being bought for me, or offer the cash for it upfront. I dont have the money to be keeping tabs on the tab, as it were).

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

(OK I must be coming off looking like a grumpy amst style one line wanker lately, and I really dont mean to be, I'm just so busy with work I dont even think before I type, I really should just stay away from ilx)

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:03 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I don't like buying rounds unless I'm getting a big hell of a drunk on and I'm flush with cash.

So are we doing this thing?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

i guess rounds are best on jug-o-beer drinking type occasions, such as i tend to be involved in at the uni tav, where beer is cheap anyway. but you guys are probably smart - if i go out for the night i tend to spend inordinate amounts of money and i'm sure some of it is on rounds for people that never pay me back and don't do the 'offer cash up front' approach. not to worry, swings and roundabouts i'm sure.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I do love the jug style of communal drinking. Something delightfully medieval about it all.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

spot on mikey! especially when you're all sitting at rickety wooden bench/table setups in teh beergarden. i also enjoy the delightfully fun communal drunkenness aspect!

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

I bought a round for everyone last FAP, but I never get to see you guys, so I think it was justified. It's certainly not part of my normal pub behaviour (otherwise I'd never be able to afford to go out)

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:18 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, when I was a poor uni student, as opposed to a poor school teacher, I'd duck across to the Clyde with uni pals and drink jugs for three houres until we were roaring pissed, then I'd go to my afternoon history tutes.

Fuck, those were the good old days, the golden days, the all or nothin' days!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

That was fuckin' swell of you to do that Kate.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Nice sidestep of my mutterings there guys ;) Hehehe. Dont mind me etc.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:25 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, never mind the crazy cat lady.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

Oh I wasn't looking for praise mikey. I just wish I could be down there all the time. I assure you fapping would be at least bi-monthly.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:29 (twenty years ago)

:P~~~

But aye, a good point re the jugs (fnarr). I mean like if Im out one on one with someone, they get our drinks in and i'll get the next drinks in, thats fine. I dont really think of that as rounds tho. Its a bit hard to be involved in a round when you're saying "o! Might a lady haveth the chardonnay imbibed with the finest of sparkling sodas?" cos everyone will just tell me to stop being such a pussy and drink the bloody VB they bought.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:29 (twenty years ago)

Bwahahahahahah!

When I launch my first novel, you're all coming to the Supper Club and we'll drink our way through the menu.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

I'll have to take out a mortgage, but it can be done.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

Also, Nick Cave is going to play at the premiere of the film adaptation and I will hire waiting staff to dress up as dead consumptive victorian whores.

GOTHARAMAMAMAMAMALALALAMADINGDONG!

too much coffee.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

O man I would totally volunteer to dress up as a consumptive whore zombie, but I couldnt wait tables on my own dinner let alone anyone elses ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 07:44 (twenty years ago)

nAH, ilXors get a big fuckin' table to themselves.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 10:10 (twenty years ago)

hey gaz! I just came home from Kneel Gayman reading/signing at that Japanese bookshop dans les galeries. via pub and beers and scotches. The Filth is pretty tops, you can re-read it every year and get something different out of it.

So what's he sound like? I imagine he sounds like someone's wet uncle.

Ah, THE FILTH! So it's out in TPB?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Morning mongrels. Happy Thursday. I have to edit some visuals by Tuesday. There is little to no chance I will have this done by the deadline on Tuesday.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

Happy Tharsday!

if i go out for the night i tend to spend inordinate amounts of money and i'm sure some of it is on rounds for people that never pay me back and don't do the 'offer cash up front' approach.

Same here. Like you, I buy rounds [when capable] to be kind and do my bit, not to get drinks back. Anyway I can't drink beer anymore so it's a bit of a moot point really.

Trayce: You're nothing like amst ffs, don't worry :)

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm intrigued to know how we'll pull off this FAP with the board down every three minutes.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

S4m Ly [bombing victim] was a guy I used to deal with on the IT desk at M0n4sh btw, I found out yesterday.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Aw no thats awful :(

As for Mr Gaiman/the Continuum thing, etc - my friend Cam was running a forum at'table at Continuum with Gaiman and PZB (? I think) called Gods and Monsters. Cam really be doin' well in this genre it seems. I think his second novel is out soon, and its a kids one with a scifi bent! Talented sod.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

$24 for tha filth! 315 pages.

hey kit where i am a-teaching is opposite za ay bee cee.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

I am coming to your hood Trayce and Adam so I can take lots of photos, because I am setting a subplot of my novella (I'm way too lame and inexperienced to tackle a novel) there. It's starting to look a little like Goodfellas.

The tragic love interest is a Typhoid Mary kind of figure.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

God, I ache to be involved in the whole genrenerdscififantasylit scene. I wish I could sit around all day writing a very twee blog like Gaiman.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

Taking photos to support a subplot? Man I should give that a try. What specifically are you planning to capture? Perhaps Trayce and I can give you a couple of pointers to relevant stuff.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:50 (twenty years ago)

Well, I know Balaclava is pretty heavily Jewish, so I want to capture the flavour of the place, what does it look like? How do the people sound? Is it palpably different from other suburbs.

Subplot is -> Supernatural mob war taking place in Melbourne, all the ghosts and goblins of the ethnicities that make up Melbourne are at each other's throats, couple of kids training to be rabbis are selling Golems as muscle/bodyguards to various figures.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

Oh awesome. Good places for Jewish things are:

- cnr Inkerman St and Wilgah St, there's a synagogue-thing with security guards always out the front

- Hotham St, between Alma Rd and Inkerman St, Yeshivah College with more security guards standing out the front

- there's a mikveh in [I think] Alexandra St between Inkerman and Carlisle Sts

If you want culture/sounds, Saturday's good because it's no-driving day and they all walk everywhere. Traipsing around Nth Caulfield could be useful too, loads of orthodox jews around there. hth

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

In case anyone's wondering some completely sick fuck posted autopsy pictures in the 'Photos of Liz' thread. Anonymously, of course; nobody that fucked in the head would admit to being so fucking retarded.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, looks like I'll be spending following time in the following areas to soak up atmosphere.

- Balaclava (aforementioned Golems)
- Chinatown (The servants of the Jade Emperor NEVER SLEEP).
- Alleyways of Richmond (Beloved by the wee folk, nasty little bastards, which came over with the poor micks in the late 19th C)
- CBD (Corporate Suit Vampire Types, are dispensed with very early in the novel)
