Ah screw it. Opened a bottle of Balvenie Double Wood (after a few drinks I'm sure there are plenty of jokes there) since I don't even want to have more of that Tormore. Think I'm going to have to turn into an alco to slog through it; may be time to revisit scotch and Cokes.
But the Balvenie seems pretty nice.

I've heard good things about the Belvenie, glad you're enjoying it.
Your experimenting with mixing cannot be worse than my friends effort of mixing a wine he didn't like with coke earlier this evening. He'd drink his own piss if it got him drunk; I refer to him as the Bear Grylls of alcohol.

Terrible photo, delete it and post up another you morons! Makes them look like weirdos!
Also alarming in the news is North Korea is firing a missile that will HOPEFULLY land somewhere between us, Indonesia & the Philippines. If they can even fucking handle that kind of accuracy. Seems harmless. >_<
If Hawke was still in power he would have already offered Chuck Norris a lifetime supply of beer and Australian women to jump kick the stupid out of that regime.
Also Gnome Chompski's cousin?
EDIT: hehe. Double Wood

It is already awkard as fuck. Both with closed eyes, knowing that they NEED to kiss for the photo op and they NEED to give this showing of affection to show how much of a family focused party they are. Neither knowing where the others lips are and both looking like Buster & Lucille. Actually...
EDIT: This would also suffice for a hilarious insert.
Oh I know it is, I just wanted to make it worse somehow. This is as close as I can get to giving a fuck about politics.

I've had some success with sherry-wooded scotches. I think it adds some sweetness that I prefer over the really smokey ones.
If my first impressions of the Tormore were right, mixing it with random mixers is the only way I'll get to the end of the bottle. I'll give it a second chance though, of course.

You could Google 'grey pages', but they move around a bit so may need some luck to find a working site.
You wish!
I always wished my dual citizenship was with somewhere other than the US, if the federal election goes this way I won't have anywhere to hide lol.
Looks like it. They brought it on themselves though. Tony Abott is actually going to win, so damn shameful.

I hate wine but everyone knows you mix that shit with a juice or water of some kind to make it better, even red wine won't go well with coke. Red wine and another strong lichor like whiskey would even be a better bet.
Yup. Will be a long hill to climb to limit the damage. Would be impressed if they just made a .xls with all their plans and budget.
If you Google my phone number you get my name and parent's address. Fuck you Telstra for selling my information.
Just regular 404 due to election meltdown. Huge day as a functional ball of goo like Campbell Newman takes power.news.com.au hacked? or someone deleted the site lol

Hey, did I tell you guys I got a goat?

Building a chicken coop this weekend at our place. Hopefully the landlord is cool with us having a couple of tiny chicks out behind our garage.
Make sure to feed the goat a boot and a tin can. Rite of passage.
Tangent: My keyboard makes too much noise when my gf is in bed in the other room. Recommendations for super quiet keyboards? I can't get rid of her sorry.
Sure you can, fuck rubber dome keyboards.

Been looking at a Filco Ninja brown for myself. Believe it's quiet but auspcmarket have none in stock. Look into mechanical ones, either way. There's plenty of different types.

Bah! My MK700 is quieter going by YouTube!
Nooooooooooooooooope already getting married!
I want because they looks sexy and sound awesome but I need something SILENT. Still haven't seen a silent keyboard which blows my mind. WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON but can't have silent typing? wtf? Make that shit digital.Get a mechanical keyboard
Jilting is always an option.

I agree though, why can't we have a silent keyboard? We are meant to touch type and focus on viewing the screen any way. I demand a touchpad like solution for the PC.
Already getting email from people breaking the news to me.
Haha that was my joke but there are relatively quiet mechanical keyboards. I like the loud ones more though.
brown keys - (alleged silent ones) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iOeNAt4G0mA#t=159s
blue keys - (the awesome) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JggEpECGXn8
I have a cherry red switches on my keyboard and it's fairly quiet. Probably no quieter than a typical rubber dome keyboard though, unless you type deliberately softly and don't bottom out the keys.
Scissor switches are fairly quiet. These are typically used in laptops, but you can buy keyboards too. e.g. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17751
No idea how good that one is, but it appears to be the only one on PCCG (I just searched for scissor).
Well, just remember... my last recommendation was Monteith's Apple, Pear or Apple & Pear ;P
MADE WITH TEKWEEELA.Ergo (and ipso facto) why it is a coffee liqueur
But yeah I have been eyeing that off for a while. Love me some Sambuca and I know I would love the hell out of it but I would want to shot it and I need a good excuse for it. Maybe on the honeymoon while we eat roast duck in front of a roaring fire in a log cabin or something.
Oh man, now I can literally get on your goat!
I have a G510. It's no Cherry keyboard (I think they all just click in different fashions anyway) but the keys are good enough and feel kinda squishy, so should suffice as a "quiet" keyboard. It also has a headphone jack on it for ultra quiety-quiet gaming. I think I scored mine on sale at LTS for ~$70 or so, has a neato (monochrome) LCD and also changeable infinite-colour backlight as well, so you can turn the lights off around your house and still type if they disturb yer missus and little one.
I quite like their song "I Don't Feel Like Danicin'".
Hey guys, it's early morning. Have a song that suits the mood perfectly. Or if you see this post-daylight, it'll suit that too. It's pretty awesome:
The MFA - The Difference It Makes (Superpitcher remix)

I have a MK700. Not quiet enough.
Here is a great early morning mix. Probably around 6am I would bust it out.
Sobering up so I don't vomit in bed. Came on quick JUST as I wanted to go to bed around 1am.

Fucking hilarious.
CT was never raised as an issue in the election.
(Except by Tony but nobody paid attention in Qld)
I told you I saw AP live, yeah? It was good. But that track, holy wow... it's like... Kraftwerk with the oldschool "HI/LO" turbo button pushed in.I have a MK700. Not quiet enough.

Should suffice as a late night keyboard. Thanks for that!If you really want a silent keyboard, you could always get one of those rubber ones, I got one for a laugh, they are shit to use, but they are silent.
There's also those laser/IR ones that shine light on your desk or whatever. Never used one, but couldn't be that bad?

Why does everyone keep calling it the Carbon Tax? It's a permit system, not some automatic surcharge on your fuel and electricity.
I'm going to let you guys in on something - I voted LNP this time around (and in a swing seat, no less). It had nothing to do with sending Labor a message and everything to do with Campbell Newman's infrastructure spending policy platform. I like roads, bridges, dams and tunnels and we damn well need more of them to handle the population projections. Hell, we needed some huge upgrades to various roads (like the Ipswich Motorway) decades ago that are only just happening now.
Anyway, I read each of the parties' policy statements on infrastructure and education and:
- Labor and the LNP's are largely the same. Labor is promising more schools. The LNP is offering more roads, but is unusually short on specifics for education except for a generic wank statement about it being important. Campbell Newman delivered on his promises of more roads everywhere, which tipped me over the edge to his side.
- Bob Katter's Jingoistic Bumpkin Party plans to fix the congestion on our roads and the lack of affordable housing in SE QLD by raising the speed limit on highways to 125km/hr. Also, highway upgrades so you can drive from Tweed Heads to Kingaroy at that speed uninterrupted. He also plans to scrap any light rail initiatives in Brisbane and instead turn Kangaroo Point and a few other places into gigantic car parks on the grounds that this will ease congestion in Brisbane. They were silent on education.
- The Greens appear to have no platform on infrastructure to speak of, apart from building huge solar power farms everywhere and banning certain mining and coal seam gas extraction activities. They're probably the strongest on education, as an educated voter is far more likely to vote Greens.

Heehee. It's a good move. The sports threads should have been moved to Community years ago. They're some of the biggest, most active threads on the forum.
If EviLore's stated goal is to spread traffic around so it's more manageable, he ought to have moved them first.

Hey, my old man cried when Geelong lost their second grand final in 92 or whatever. There's no shame in bawling your eyes out
Hey AusGAF. I was just nostalgia-ing up and found that Toys for Bob (of Star Control fame) made the most recent Spyro, the one with figurines or some shit. Any direct impressions from folks here? Do I *have* to buy some fucking toys to play it? I just want to play a TfB game that isn't fucking Tony Hawk's fucking Downhill fucking Jam.
trololol

Yes. Yesy you do. However, I think you get one or two "ACTION FIGURES" when you buy the game.
More dollies can be bought to increase your man-child enjoyment.
