A: Depends how much you've been drinking.

A: What did your last slave die of?
Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia ? ( USA ) 
A: A-Fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not... Oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.

List of bands that will make your kid homosexual,...

bluepolicebox: “One of the most dangerous ways Homosexuality invades family life is through popular music. Parents, please keep careful watch over your children’s listening habits. Especially in this age of Internet mp3 piracy. There are multiple levels of Gay Music. Some bands are what we like to call Gateway Bands. They lure children in with Pop Grooves and Salacious Melodies leaving...

Fuck Yez Ween: Ween →

harpoonedtoperfection: I love them. For the most part. I like to pretend that “Spinal Meningitis (Got me down)” does not exist. Deaner and Gener, I think you should know that Humorous songs about diseases lose a lot of their humor when the words “Am I gonna see God, mommy?” are spoken in… Not everything Ween produce is supposed to be ‘funny’. There’s some real dark...

Grinderman last night - fucking amazing

elvisfuckingchrist: Probably the best gig I’ve been to all year. Possibly one of the best I’ve ever been to. Front and centre for the whole gig too. I’m telling you, you haven’t lived until you’ve had Nick Cave towering over you, screaming and thrusting his crotch at your face. This needed reblogging, because I would usually say I’d write about it and never get around to actually doing...

I don’t believe anybody can say they’re a true Ween fan unless they’ve experienced listening to The Pod (preferably on vinyl) terrifyingly loud, in near darkness. Substances optional, but this is a right of passage into maximum brownness.
