G’day guys!
My anti spam word Canadia and I are proud to announce the new Hyper Nonsense Facebook Group at the easy to remember address of
http://groups.to/hypernonsensepodcast/
Now that’s got to be worth some Horns of Importance! So if you are on Crackbook and I haven’t invited you, feel free to join up.
Loved the show and glad to hear you both sounding great this week. I did wonder if one or both of you were on the cans or not, though.
I’ll speak more on the Round Table about the CA train crash and why it would have been more difficult for that to occur here.
I must say that as the 51st state of the United States of the America, the Presidential race has been going on for ever and I’m glad I’m this far away from it. Based on the media coverage we are getting here, it must be 10 times worse for you guys.
I’m not sure if you know this but here in Australia, you MUST be on the electoral roll and if you don’t vote, you can be fined. Again, a worthy debate for RT9 next weekend.
I must say that I agree with Jen’s comments about the adults with the mental age of 12. There are so many people like it, especially when it comes to adult things like, I don’t know, driving for instance.
I’m sure I’ll have more comments as other people comment. Just on the comments, I presume that Shawno and Jen do not count their totals or they’d be on the Leader Board too. I’m quite happy with my spot and I’m quite happy with the top 10 concept.
September 20th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Damn. i guess we’ll have to get a Facebook account now! Thanks for starting the group, Erk!
And as the leaderboard is called the “Feedback Leaderboard,” I thought it’d be silly for me and Jen to show up there. So our names get excluded, which is fine.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the train accident. Also, I had heard that before, about the voting regulations in Australia. We’d probably have something like that here in the States too. That is, if we didn’t have a history of keeping racial minorities and women out of polling places. But I guess that’s another discussion for another time.
(And oh yeah, nobody was on the booze this week.)
September 20th, 2008 at 3:00 am
4th attempt at leaving feedback!
Work damn you! Work!!!!
September 20th, 2008 at 3:08 am
Finally!
I’ll keep it brief, so I keep my sanity just a little while longer.
*Thanks for Horns of Importance with bonus train horn.
Hopefully my 2nd one will!
* I accept your feedback leaderboard challenge Shawno! I’m sure Colin will too!
* Real Estate Agents are arseholes! Personal experience. ‘Nuff said!
* I hear and feel your job pain Jen. Just stick with it and a great job will turn up and you’ll get it!
* A recent British study showed that reaction times of motorists who sent texts on their mobile phone while on the road deteriorated by 35% compared with drivers who were at the legal alcohol limit saw just a 12% drop in their reaction time, while those under the influence of cannabis were 21% slower. The study was performed using a simulator with drivers aged 17 to 24.
* Facebook = Time Vortex! You have been warned!
* I have left 2 Haiku’s. 1st one didn’t accept my name as author.
* This feedback better bloody work!!!

Thanks for the comment, Tim. Sorry about your comment form woes. I’m pretty sure I know which one is the first haiku you submitted. I’ll go back and change that so you have proper credit. Turns out I had the submission form over there set up incorrectly. It’s working properly now, so everyone should receive credit from now on.
Can you tell us exactly what kind of problems you were having with the comment form on this site?
September 20th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Jen’s comments about the mentally 12 year olds are absolutely true. Scary, but true. Bush screwed things up royally, the whole country is on corporate welfare and the main issues in this election so far have been pigs ‘n lipstick. I hope mcCain wins, brings back the draft, anyone with half a brain can get his ass up to Canadia and the rednecks can go off and fight, most of ‘em own an M16 anyway. Problem solved.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Shawno, I think I figured out the dramas posting here. It was when I tried to post the link to the British study on texting whilst driving. That was the common denominator with the posts that didn’t post.
)
I reckon the feedback woes was actually Dave hacking the system to protect is postion in the uber spot on the feedback leaderboard.

Here’s your link, Tim. Our website flagged all of your posts as spam, which is really weird. It’s not supposed to do that unless you post several links (or you make a reference to Cialis/Viagra like Ken did in the last episode’s comments). Sorry about that. Stupid Internetz.
September 20th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Mmmmm. Well some of the crap the Telegraph writes can be deemed as spam, but in this case it was legit! LOL!
Thanks for looking into it Shawno! Although your sure Calderbank wasn’t involved somehow? hehehehe
September 20th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
It’s always possible. As I’ve said before, no one suspects the Dutch. (Even the Dutch who have multi citizenship.)
September 21st, 2008 at 2:24 am
Oh I know Shawno, I know! My father is Dutch!
September 21st, 2008 at 11:56 am
So your father is Dutch eh, Orange Tim? That explains a lot. I know what you’re doing, very smart. And nobody suspects anything

Mission accepted commander. Andy is going down!
I’ve given up on Facebook. The only thing I use ’social networking’ for is finding bands to play on my podcast, and Facebook is miles behind Myspace as far as bands go. I get so much mileage out of bands getting in touch with me on Myspace that I really don’t need to use Facebook.
Haiku of Frustration the website! So cool!
The main legacy of that bitch Margaret Thatcher is that she privatised absolutely everything. This includes British Rail. Our rail network is now royally fucked, with companies only concerned with making money and not concerned at all with customer service. The trains are unreliable, packed and ancient. Oh yeah and they crash the whole time. There have been 5 or 6 huge train disasters in this country over the past 10 years and it’s usually down to poor track maintenance. This is what you get when you give the contract to the lowest bidder. There were huge fines handed out to various companies involved with the train service for health and safety and poor time keeping.
Look at it this way Jen. Do you hate teaching more than you hate retail? Good luck anyway. (My job hunt is ongoing and not going very well.)
It’s odd how quickly Jen goes to ‘zombies’ when discussing good things in movies…
Lending money to people who can’t pay it back. Who’d have thought that would blow up in our faces? All this bullshit about buying a house combined with the astronomical house prices here in Bath is the main reason I still live at home. I’m a sad bastard and I don’t care.
From the audio I took from the far-right British National Party a few weeks ago they are ‘planning’ for just the kind of Mad Max scenario you described. One of the under reported factors in the energy crisis is the possibility for the Nazi/Fascist factors in our society to take advantage and take over. Be afraid people, be very afraid.
Haven’t you read Poe? Of course you can wall up cats.
Erk, with the ‘Special Relationship’ surely the UK is the 51st state? Oz fits in nicely at 52.
‘Orange’ Tim. I get it now…
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:35 am
The other reason I’m called Orange Tim… http://www.ses.nsw.gov.au
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:52 am
As Shawno can attest, I suck at Haiku!
And OT, the linky is the only reason that you are OT apart from the fact that I know so many people called Tim!
September 23rd, 2008 at 6:32 am
Orange Tim: Facebook = TimeSINK don’t you mean?

I just remembered a story about my dog once that reminded me about a dog I had once. It was a little Chihuahua and he went missing for a couple of days. After a while, we could hear scratching from the lounge. We had a reclining chair and there was a gap where the foot part goes up and down where the material had come apart from the frame. Needless to say after a couple of days, Doggie was very happy to see us and very thirsty and hungry. Funny thing was that I don’t remember him barking or anything to get our attention but just scratching on the material.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
We have one of those chairs too. Guess where our 9 puppies like to wander when the foot rest is up?
September 24th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Colin,
I want to see photos of the nine puppies. Awwwww… puppies!

I haven’t even heard the show yet and I’m declaring the cat story an urban myth.
September 28th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I can assure you, the “wiener poopie” accident was neither offensive nor inappropriate. Indeed, given the amount of free time I get these days, it may in fact be the most accurate portrayal yet of the flavor of my free time.

Farris “Wiener Poopie” Thorne

Erk, we’re the 52ND state, the UK is the 51st state of the US.
