Description
ah, yes... such a joy to be around.as Seth won the character poll, he graces you with his Danzig hair and ever-delightful presence this autumn, bringing the greetings of the season. he invites you along for a night of Oktoberfest beer, sugar abuse, toilet paper, arson, property destruction and other mischief. shaking down trick-or-treaters is also a time-honored tradition; do you honestly think he went door-to-door for all that candy himself? PLZ.
and that's just in the 'burbs; can't forget also wandering the strip for cider and jello shots and the exploitation of drunk co-eds in porn-shop Halloween costumes, shamelessly baring what's left to the imagination for tootsie rolls and plastic mardi gras beads. careful ladies, he is not really your 'bro' and he's not really going to take you to a romantic graveyard and write you something on his acoustic guitar. he'll say he will, just so you'll follow him there and maybe blow him or something. take my advice: kick him in the balls, steal his candy, and run for your life.
not the most original choice of song, but once i had the costume idea in my head i was sold. not like I'd already done it before yet, gotta have just one 'Fits Halloween pic fercrissakes. the title was a joke between me and ~StitchFacedAngel fucking with the lyrics singing it at work.
good times.
old memories.
what a quick, sneaky year it's been.
as for the rest of you, safe and happy Hallo for you all.
Bonfires burning bright,
pumpkin faces in the night,
I remember Halloween--
dead cats hanging from poles,
and Little Dead are out in droves.
I remember Halloween.
Brown-leafed vertigo,
where the skeletal life is known.
I remember Halloween--
this day, anything goes,
burning bodies hanging from poles.
I remember Halloween.
Candy apples and razorblades,
Little Dead are soon in graves,
I remember Halloween...
Halloween song/lyrics © 1981 Glenn Danzig/The Misfits.

True ... nothing like a day named after a biscuit to encourage the colonials!

Yeah ... haven't you ever had an ANZAC biscuit? You Americans are so uncultured when it comes to cuisine!

HEY we LIVE on Mexican and Italian food, and-- Germany's lost great great grandhildren the hotdog and hamburger, and ahhh what else... Chinese food-- no wait, that's not culture chop-suey was invented in the US... om... FUSION CUISINE! like putting cilantro and lime and soybeans in otherwise mundane foods to make them seem both latin and Asian at the same time!
but no seriously.
oh btw have you ever heard of Marmite?

Yes ... As far as I know that was the British way of saying FU colonists ... you aren't allowed to invent food! Its pretty common here.
I was joking btw about the uncultured thing. Most of my friends and family are fairly negative about the American inventions in food ... but I'm not. I see fast food as a sort of American invention and a rather smart one at that. I also see what little 'Mexican' food we get here as American as well since most of it was adapted by American food companies for export. And then there is all the other cultural wonders; from deep fried Oreo's to Hash brownies!
Australia's culinary history is pretty much a mirror of the USA's with a couple less dashes of corporate butt-rapage and a couple more dashes of 'food you can eat 5 days walk from refridgeration'.
Probably the biggest differences are found in the ratio of small business restaurants & takeaway to corporate versions and that just means reducing your chances of coronary while increasing your chances of food poisoning. [/tongue in cheek]

LOL HASHBROWNIES... oh my god i always wished i liked weed, i mean you can't put beer into anything interesting it doesn't even slush well. rum goes in a lotta desserts though...
and American fast food namely McDonalds has come a long way in the last ten years. i just ate a hugely satisfying McD caesar salad tonight w/ a grilled chicken breast and washed it down with a bitchin pumpkin spice milkshake with real cinnamon specks in it... and now they have panini sandwiches, i mean damn. if anyone told me that was comin when i was twelve, bitch u trippin. but yeah that hardly makes up for a lot of other things namely Burger King's MASSIVE PORK CHEESE DEATHBURGER CONTEST it's having with itself. and Jack-in-the-Box killing people in the 80s. they still haven't grown back along much of our east coast.
ahaha... exactly right... either eat frozen fatty pretreated mush reheated by a 17yo highschool dropout at McDonald's or eat something freshly prepared by a 20yo culinary dropout at TGI Friday's who didn't cook it right.

Oh my ... this is almost like instant messenger.
"you can't put beer into anything"
-anonymous uncultured American!
You're right about McDonalds coming a long way ... funny how KFC seems to have gotten worse though. Or maybe thats just down here. At the moment here you can get a Maccas bacon & egg muffin with avocado & tomato ... its kinda wrong to imagine eating something like that from there.
Tell me more about this MPCDC thing ... as far as I can tell the international branches of these chains are quite different from each other. I mean, for starters we call Burger King "Hungry Jacks".
Oh and no one will tell me what the hell TGI Friday's is. I kept on hearing 2 of the most Americanised guys at my work talking about it and they didn't do a very good job of describing it. Apparently one just opened up in Melbourne. I'm hella excited [/sarcasm]. But yeah, I actually can't remember the last time I ate at a chain. I suspect it was Subway ... a bit over 3 months ago. They have their niche in Australia. You know the service is going to be quick ... and the food the same as last time. But you also know it won't be as cheap or as good as the place next door.
And don't get me wrong ... they're pretty common. For example, on Sydney Rd, one of my old haunts there was a 7/11, KFC & MacDonalds within 200m (yards) of each other. But maybe 25+ small business take away / restaurants amongst them.

well... chains, there are a few large "American Pub" style chains in this country. dark inside... stained glass lamps... post-victorian architecture... antique sleds/trombones/auto parts/signs n shit all over the walls. TGI Fridays is the most common. the other big'uns are Ruby Tuesday, (cr)Applebee's, Red Robin, and Chili's-- which has a "southwestern mining town" theme to it and serves up a lot of TexMex food. Bennigans and Outback pretend to be Irish and Australian themed respectively, but it's same idea/decorating scheme as the others.
some of them are underwent serious "image changes" to remove the outdatedness (took down the old crap and put up vintage and newschool record posters/billboards). the food is about the same. varied and tasty, but kinda pricey and crapful. they're also known for dressing up their servers retardedly.
and for some reason, even the most anti-established cynical American alive (consumerist, anyway) gets excited when they're about to eat at one. since the 1970s, science has failed to explain this social phenomenon. BBQ burgers, buffalo wings, and chicken caesar salads are simply not that impressive on their own.
KFC is thye devil. i'm not even a chicken activist or anything, it's just a hellhole. shit food for shit folk. i never knew anyone worth a worm turd who ate/worked at KFC.
unfortunately here, the chains are cheaper than mom' n pop. IN MOST CASES... sometimes you can find a nice sandwich shop or deli cafe or something.
just bringing it up, my family were just discussing that there is NO good German food in our area since a place in the mall and an upscale mom n pop place closed only a couple years apart.

o_O ... thats sorta the reverse here. The small business have all ends of the market cornered. From the expensive, quality food, to the cheap "eat if you're too skinny" stuff. I agree with you on KFC ... but I have eaten there a few times and hence my opinion on them 
I find it a bit odd what you say about anti-establishment Americans getting excited about chains like this. Here, those sorts of people will pretty much only cook their own food or go to exotic types of restaurants like a Moroccan place where you eat in a tent or a Vietnamese restaurant they read a review of in a newspaper. As for that outback place you mentioned ... I just have to check that out. When / if I come to Florida you're taking me there. I want to hear the faux accents & the stereotyped Australian references. It'll just about make the trip worth it ... humour wise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no fake accents fortunately... or kangaroo hats. it's deifnitely classier than the other places, just has a lot of aboriginal art and roadsigns and the bathrooms are labeled "joeys" and "sheilas."
as for the food hipsters, it is an odd phenomenon... but consider that many American A-E's are pretty young and food obsessed with how much weed they smoke and how much money mommy gives 'em.
also, the food could be drugged.

True ... it could be part of a conspiracy 
Here, the weed smokers aren't so anti-establishment as they are rebels without causes. Its generally the ones who were simply intelligent who end up in that bunch ... and they often use their intelligence to greatly influence their behaviour. Those aren't absolute trends though. Its just that the ones who smoke pot seem to me to only have about enough time to get to work and get home before its time for sleep again ... leaving less time for other duties like thinking, showing up to stuff etc.

does "etc." = having FUN... me and ~jamierocket have been blown off a dozen times in the last two weeks by a friend of ours, who has been suspiciously hanging out with the town pothead in frequency lately. her excuse is she "was hanging out with Jeremy, but got tired and mehhhhh" feels like going to sleep at 10pm all of a sudden and ditching our plans.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well ... your sense of fun changes when smoking pot as far as I can tell. Sitting in front of a TV and occasionally talking can be as fun as when sober driving fast at night. My bet is your friend wasn't asleep until midnight but for the last 2 hours sat there slowly falling to sleep in front of the TV or something. One of my best mates smoked a ridiculous quantity of weed in his time and got into this weird thing where you couldn't call him after 10 at night because it was 'rude'. Basically, I'd be at his place, getting high and playing computer games and we'd probably been there from 11pm ... and it was 11:30 and someone would call and he'd go "who the fuck is this calling at this hour!" and then we'd go on playing games until 4-5am.

yeah! the "business hours" i used to have those.
"if something is happening and it's after two AM i don't want to hear about it because i'm not leaving whatever it is i'm doing by that time, even if it is nothing. so DON'T FUCKING CALL..." also god forbid i went to bed early for some actual sleep and had someone tempting me outside with social activities.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, its just amusing though. The pattern of having to have that quality couch time. I just don't get it so much, perhaps because I spend too much time at the computer and when I'm not there the last place I want to be is sitting down and not moving
