Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Ha. Posted that “Awful Aspects of Spring” Leunig cartoon to the Book of Faces because I found a copy of it during Operation Sort Shit and it seems to have gone down like a lead balloon.
Dear me.Please post here. I’m optimistic.

Sorry it came out tiny! Caption is “Awful aspects of spring: the new dog digs up the old dog.”
Oh dear. Reminds me of the time I visited my parents with my old dog, and she brought us the body of one of their chickens she had just dug up. After being buried for about a week it was definitely not in good condition, but she was so incredibly proud of herself. I told her she was a good dog, swapped it for a dog treat and the chicken was re-buried in a less accessible place.
We had a big party at one of my old share houses, so there were a few dogs. We’d buried a dead possum a week before but I can’t remember it’s fate. Probably road kill knowing that place. We had a giant backyard as our place backed onto council land and a creek. Dogs dug it and fought with it for a while well before anyone noticed. It was in a lot of places by that time and of course, the dogs stank. I may have been on halucinogens too, so it was yucky but fucking hilarious.
Not disappointed, I’m a cat lover and this brought back a hilarious memory I shared below.
gave the first couple of Hulu Futurama eps a burl last night…it feels like it’s lost its soul
It’s ok, the self referential stuff fell a bit flat but was appropriate and bender’s humour is a bit 90s honestly.
Fourth ep picked up, see how we go.
I only the first two might gain the next ones. Worth a look that’s for sure, I’ve been a fan.
I’ve reached a stage in my life where new kitchen gadgets are a source of excitement. Bought a blender yesterday that also heats/cooks the food as it is being blended. Think of all the possibilities…
I watch those late night infomercials just for the food porn. The exercise ones bore me but the cleaning and food ones excite me.
Have you seen come dine with me UK? It’s camp and bitchy and the food is ok. Watching soccer was worth connecting the aerial for, sbs food is worth keeping it connected imo.
Oh yeah. They love a good old fashioned banoffee pie the poms.
And fish. Always fish.
Also did anyone you know get one of Multi Level Hippie Marketing thermomix things? They were like 2 grand at the time. They have imitators now for much less, they were pretty good, but so fucking woo it was like a wannabee yoga gurus must get object in 2012 or something.
Had one of those I wasn’t even supposed to be here today kind of mornings. I don’t normally work Mondays. One colleague told me they were running late, but were actually at a different workplace. Poor other colleague was late because he got bailed up for money by some junkies in the city. I’m not sure if he was hurt as he has only been in Australia a couple of months so there’s a language barrier, but he was shaken up pretty bad. I’ll meet him at his city landing point next time we work together to see where he’s walking, he may very easily be able to avoid the scummy parts of the city like I do. But yeah, standing around in one of our windy laneways for 45 minutes with an almost dead phone gave me a case of the Mondays.
