Yes, mate.

Why do you ask?

He's a BOOBtarian.

Yeah, I agree, the boob thing wasn't that funny.

See how he throws in "mate" just like a regular meat eater to try and fool you into think there's nothing poncy about his being a vegetarian? Don't believe him for a second wipey.

cool

Well, it's like this...

You know how superman gets his strength from earth's yellow sun?

Well, if I actually did eat meat, I'd be so fucking manly as to make all of your dicks drop off in fear whenever I was in the same city as you.

I'm doing you a favour, here

cool

noice.

i'm having kangaroo steak for dinner.

cool

Every now and again you should do this as a public service. For example, eat meat and go and see some pre-op men looking to be women.

cranky today, aren't you, big guy ?

Not especially, why?

and that's coming from horsie

grrr

A Native American.

a_l: don't worry champ, one day you'll get there

that cartoon is hilarious

modi we get to call you Dr Modi yet?

So you are implying that eating meat makes you manly?

Does this mean vego's (without this phenomenal dick-drop-fear effect that you have) are not manly?

Harsh, modi.

The men hunt the meat, the women collect the side dishes, you know that, Topher.

OhYeah. So close it stings.

But even then, not til graduation.

Cartoon is appropros

Your services are desperately needed in this thread

Nah, lonely women need hope, Beret.

wow- more charitable than I expected of you. I was going to watch Penn & Teller so was getting in the mood for some serious bubble-bursting (Missed it!).

Sometimes, and I mean SOMETIMES, I mean very occasionally, those things can be helpful. But I don't think it would matter which one you read.

helpful- how? Perhaps if someone needed a 'lift' and by telling them what they wanted to hear and created a self-fulfilling prophecy..

No different to a counsellor, except without the liability involved (or the qualification). Like talking to a priest or something.

I'm not suggesting in any way that it can predict the future, just observing that good advice has value regardless of the source.

kisses modi

you just earned yourself a free astrology chart interpretation!

HEHEHEEEEEEEEEE

modi:- no ad hominem arguments- I agree. The shit I read in the paper amazed me- a bit scary.

It amazes you that you're human leading a pretty ordinary life?

Never ceases to amaze me, but you get my drift?

In defense of the horoscope thread G_b - this is the first time in years that I have "come-out" and let people know I read astrology and as I expected it means I am then subject to a degree of ridicule. I actually once had aspirations of becoming an astrologer but well.. hmmm..i'm still fearful of being burned at the stake.

and y'know "astrology as a tool to self-knowledge" has its merits albeit when approached with a healthy dose of skepticism. what it is at the end of the day anyway - just a tool to get people to think about themselves and give some attention to their problems.

I certainly don't take it too seriously but I am proud of the fact that I've taken the time to actually study the subject enough so that when i read horoscopes or whatever I can cut through the babble and help people make sense of it. but I would be the first person to suggest there are as many ways of interpreting meaning as there are people to interpret it.

kudos to you modi for not being a totalitarian.

modi - I can feel the joke on me, but I have no idea what it is so if you'd kindly let me out of my misery...

You just caught me on a good day, livingincanada.

At least you're not a homoeopathist.

phew!

does that mean i can start my dream interpretation thread?

<clears throat>

Oh don't start me on dream interpretation........

LOL!!

G_b if I interpreted one of your dreams you'd find I'd only be telling you things you already know subconsciously but hadn't really given a great deal of conscious thought to. I mean c'mon how can you NOT want to know what ye-olde subconsious has swilling around in it?

I'm serious -thrashed this out with my better half the other day. My critique I stole wholesale from a book on psychoanalysis, but you don't need to agree with them to agree with their critique (they advocate dream interpretation, but you cannot have a 'dream dictionary').

I'd rather you didn't.

But I won't stop you. In other news, it's after midnight, so my good day may be over.

I'm going to bed before I make that call.

i want to meet your better half!

i agree on the dream dictionary call - they are shit and most are just full of ancient superstitions.

I am going to get off modi's thread now. g'night y'all!

I just realised my bed is buried under clean washing. The good day is over.

Goodnight.

Night kiddies!

HI

Hey, Modi.
On the way to work this morning I noticed they've knocked down that brothel opposite South Yarra station. First the yeast factory, now Irene's.

Aw, man. Is the modelling agency still there? We used to ogle Alison Brahe on a semi-regular basis coming out of there.

Don't know.
We used to love heckling guys when they came out of the brothel. The aim was to get one of the girls to open a window and tell us all to shut up.

Hahaha. There would often be a jeering wave of shouts from the station of an afternoon when some hapless slob would try to creep out of the place.

DOES YOU WIFE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE? was our favorite thing to yell at them. It's pretty loud when 200 schoolboys are all doing it at once.

Yep. I would have thought one might choose a more out of the way house of sin for a weekday afternoon delight.

so is philosophy the new rock'n'roll? or is poetry still it? do tell

Hahahaha. That was the worst run event I have ever been to in my life. Possibly.

The author, an English philosophy writer, was quite interesting, but the guy who was supposed to be presenting it and discussing the topic with him was awful. After introducing the ''topic'' as advertised ''Why is philosophy the new rock and roll'' the whole thing got sidetracked into a lame unstructured ''Introduction to Wittgenstein'' as well as several sidetracks into philosophy vs science, and why there is no god.

I think I'd have been better off buying the guy's book. It seemed like an interesting topic, but unfortunately the local guy, an Info tech lecturer from RMIT, had done little preparation, and didn't seem capable of keeping any discussion on track to address the issues that were being suggested.

Also, the PA didn't work, so it was at times hard to hear while track works were going on just outside in Elizabeth Street.
