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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

Goon! I hadn't considered goon.

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

what kind of crazy person fails to consider goon

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

i buy rounds!!!

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

i buy rounds too!

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

(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 (eighteen years ago) link

(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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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

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

Yeah, never mind the crazy cat lady.

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

: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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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

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

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.

Filth Jim:

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

$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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.
