Oh cool!
So my Dad's 60th Birthday is coming up, and usually I've found it a bit difficult to get presents, but what he does enjoy is his coffee machine. So what I thought I'd do is buy him some awesome import coffee
What I'd like to know is some recommendations of types of coffee beans that he'd enjoy (he tends to have a fairly standard cappuccino), and if there are any good online places to go in order to actually get them. Any thoughts would be awesome

Buy him the poo coffee.
Does it have to be imported? Alan Frew (coffeeco.com.au) is a knowledgable bloke, who also sells great coffee - I've been buying beans from him for years. Otherwise you'd have to have check out threads over at coffeesnobs and places like that. I'm posting from phone and don't have access to my bookmarks unfortunatelyRlan said:Oh cool!

but that's a start!Edit: found some stuff anyway:

I've tried more or less all of them at different times (including the poo coffee), and really, they're nearly all recommendable if your old man has a decent grinder (moreso than the machine/plunger/cafeteria etc).

Ring in an anonymous tip that you saw guns and/or drugs in their house when you walked past the window. At least one of them would have something illegal on them.Salazar said:
Or the old sugar in the petrol tank gag.
To be honest the best outcome would be to sneak into their house and disconnect the gas to the stove so that when they go to light up a smoke the whole house explodes leaving us with a few less fucktards on this earth.

You'd probably need to know his tastes better. You can get good local coffee, it doesn't have to be imported (actually, most coffee is imported from Africa or South America, local places usually just roast it).Rlan said:What I'd like to know is some recommendations of types of coffee beans that he'd enjoy (he tends to have a fairly standard cappuccino), and if there are any good online places to go in order to actually get them.

Locally, you can buy from Innocent Bystander. We have coffee from Hemisphere Coffee Roasters and RoosRoast in our coffee drawer at the moment, but these were shipped to us by friends in the US, I don't know if they'll ship internationally.
I suppose the success of that would depend on how adventurous he is.elektrixx said:
Samurai Pizza Cats is the best animated show ever in the history of the human race. It's cute and all that you might have a different opinion, but you'd be wrong, and you should take this opportunity to grow as a person by realising the awesomeness of Samurai Pizza Cats.
Anyway I spent too damn long making this so I'm going to post it here.
God I wish there was more of it on YouTube

love the comic!
Call the police next time they have a party. Collaborate with people who live near by and get them to call in too. Many times. One of my neighbours used to get into very public fights late at night. It must have been 1 - 2am and I woke up to this teenage girl screaming about how her mum never lets her do anything. It went on for about 25 minutes and then you could hear from up the other end of the street "shut up!" and then a different house "everyone can hear you!". I didn't hear them again after that

Just finished MW2. Damn that was fun. Some spotty levels and the storytelling was pretty poor but the action setpieces really get you going and the gameplay still holds up great. The best levels were the ones with a bit more space and reliance on your ability to make your shots count. The escape from Rio was fantastic. The ending certainly left me jonesing for MW3 even though I probably won't pick it up until budget release. Took me around 7 hours including a lot of deaths in 2 sections that I tried to brute force out of frustration for the level design. Might checkout the Spec Ops and work out what the point of that Museum Epilogue is.
tldr: Already fed up with professional sports but the dozen or so articles that I have read today put me into the mindset of not being able to enjoy it again, at least for a while.
I did. Not that I am pointing at the AFL but the culture of AFL (and most sports these days) has gone beyond being a 'sport' to being an industry. Profits and politics come before people, which just isn't right and it is something that has soured me on most professional sport for a long time now. The fact that there is so much money going in and out of these sports while the effects of their actions are downplayed or ignored just irritates me. It just reminds me that our society runs the same, profit before people. Even if the AFL say nothing it doesn't make up for the fact that a lot of clubs do indeed profit off the suffering of a fairly large amount of people, even though they are already dealing in millions and millions of dollars. I know a guy who's son is a rookie for Geelong. Been there the last 2 years and has been injured so he hasn't even had a run for them yet and he already has several ventures going that the club have set up for him as well as being paid enough to have a house almost paid off. He hasn't even made them a cent yet and has set himself up in a position that would take most people most of their lives to do, all because of the huge amount of money that is thrown around in the industry. At least he is a top bloke and understands how great his situation is, I've met a few of the people from there that are of the opinion that the good times won't stop and that they are on a level of society above common people. Quite entertaining in a town like Geelong but still eye-opening compared to the people I know who graduated out of med school and are still doing it hard.legend166 said:

I went to buy an icecream from one of those gourmet gelato places in the city yesterday, and the girl in front of me, who was wearing trackpants at 9pm, was covered in tacky tattoos and was a bit pudgy, ordered a "cree-mei bru-lee". One of the things I love about Brisbane, how classy it is.

You know what's annoying? Being single while your friend going into great detail about somehow getting a hot fuck buddy, who only wants to keep it like that and have no emotional attachment, is wild in bed and has a sex drive of a teenage guy and also sends you texts about how many times they did it that night(3 times last night). I mean yeah, great for him but god damn...I want that! Well that's my rant for the day.

Monday sucks.
You know what's annoying? All the other Cameron Davises (Davisii?) out there who give people my email address thinking it's theirs that have more active social and professional lives than I do. I've got a book club meeting in Georgia, I just bought a new truck in Ohio and I just found out I'm going to some fancy dinner and speaking engagement in Rochester Tuesday night. God damn it I don't have time for all this.

'A California students' group has sparked a racism and sexism row over plans for a bake sale in which people are charged according to their ethnic background and gender.
Campus Republicans at the University of California, Berkeley say critics have overreacted to their event planned for this week, which they insist is a protest over affirmative action.
The group's Facebook page lists the price of baked goods at the sale according to race: $2 for whites, $1.50 for Asians, $1 for Hispanics, $0.75 for blacks and $0.25 for Native Americans.

"$0.25 FOR ALL WOMEN!" it added.

So, the protest has received national attention? Seems like it's a success to me.Choc said:
Well, despite murdering a whole (big) packet of Kookas jam biscuits, a hefty barbecue lunch, a bag of raspberry bullets and two bags of chocolate-covered raspberry licorice, I haven't put any weight on over the weekend. My metabolism is a fucking weird bastard.
Bet that even if I eat nothing the rest of the week I'll put on 10kg :/
