I scream when the deathclaw roars.
The fear 😱💀
???
Kitty cat terrorising you again?
Nah, he’s a sleepy boi today
Just Fallout monstrosities scaring the shit out of me always
Oohh ok.
I found something while I was cleaning up yesterday as well that I wasn’t able to show you awhile ago.
I found my model Cornelius and Velvet statue in a box tucked away somewhere.
😍 omg pics??? I’d love to seeee!
Your wish is my command.
Omg it’s still in the box!!! 😍😍😍😍 Thank you
Oh yep. Sorry for the crappy photo through the window of the box.
Silicon-based lifeforms are fun to think about, but if we find extraterrestrial life I guarantee it’ll be carbon-based. The bonds between silicon are so weak, so easily broken, while carbon is insanely stable. It’s bonds are strong in comparison.
Though, with how fast the Universe, spacetime, is expanding, it is likely we will only find other life within our solar system. Or we make a generation starship. But if we did that, then I imagine tech would progress to the point that by the time the first generation starship arrives at it’s destination, newer ships will have already arrived.

I’m clearly not watching enough sci-fi/ not sciency enough, but my mental image of ‘silicon-based life’ is a silicon spatula with googly eyes.
- that’s adorable
- that’d be fucking cool lol
The Andromeda Strain movie was about silicon life forms
I’m going to bourke st mall, anyone want anything?
I’ll take one of them moving trams please.
I think my wife lost her purse there. Can you keep an eye out for it? It’s pink, about 3 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. She thinks she lost it somewhere around the corner of Burke and Elizabeth.
If found, please post to Perth. Thanks, love.
Nath, it’s gone mate.
Ahh well, it was always a long shot after all this time. 😞
Someone would’ve swooped the moment it was dropped :(
A CD from the weird pan flute guys?
The guy who keeps the giant guinea pigs away? He wasn’t there today.
I do not understand this reference, but upvote because capybara/whump are awesome
Have you ever seen any giant guinea pigs in Melbourne? Of course not, the pan pipe guys keep them away.
This educational video explains all about it. https://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/akix98/south-park-pandemic-2-the-startling-season-12-ep-11
Ah! I got tired of South Park before then. I would actually like giant Guinea pigs, they can eat the pigeons.
Young Miss Seagoon told me about it. 🐹🪇🪈
I need some advice because I lack the most basic of social awareness:
I’ve been texting someone, only a couple of times so far, but I have just realised I’ve spelled their name wrong the two times I’ve used it (has a j instead of a y. The y-version is the one I’ve always seen so I guess I skipped over it). I feel bad and I know it makes me feel awkward if someone gets my name wrong. I want to apologise but then I feel like if I bring it up, I’m bringing attention to something they maybe not noticed?
My weird name gets spelled wrong a lot, just say sorry you were using the wrong spelling, you’re not the first to get it wrong, you’ll be one of a few that say something. I no longer correct people who fuck my name up, some people have been getting it wrong for years.
@dumblederp @danwritesbooks @melbourne As you can probably tell from my username, I have an uncommon ethnic name, and I get this all the time.
Yes, they have noticed the typo.
Most likely, they haven’t said anything because they don’t want to cause a scene. But it is annoying.
First, acknowledge your mistake and apologise in a discrete way that’s not in front of other people.
Perhaps that’s an email? Or a Teams message? If you do it in-person, make it a one-on-one conversation.
Keep it simple.
Hi, I need to apologise to you about something. I’ve looked through some of my past messages, and I’ve noticed I’ve misspelt your name a number of times. It was a careless mistake on my part, and one you’re probably quite rightly annoyed about. I’m genuinely really sorry and honestly a little embarrassed about this, I’ll make sure to get it right from now on. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make it up to you?
The really important thing is to not make the same mistake after the apology.
Perhaps copy and paste their name from another document instead of trying to spell it out from now on?
I will do that. Thanks for your input. I am certainly conscious of it now so will be making sure I get it right.
Lots of people will have gotten it wrong an made not attempt to correct their behaviour. It only needs to be a quick incidental apology. Even when you next address them in text “Hey Jagemeet (sorry for getting it wrong before), Can we talk about the project this afternoon? Thx Dan”
“hey sorry, Jvette, I’ve been spelling your name incorrectly; I only just noticed. Yvette, you can call me Stan instead of Dan of it helps :D”
I usually blame “autocarrot”. Generally gets a laugh.
haha, that’s gold.
It’s been noticed. Everyone notices their name spelt wrong. Say nothing. Its only been twice not two years. Continue using the correct spelling.
I’ll do that. Thanks.
Don’t say anything and train your autocorrect
Definitely making my brain to turn off that autocorrect.
They certainly noticed you spelling their name wrong, but it sounds like a common error. I’m sure they get it a lot and don’t care. I’d bring it up light heartedly, like: “oops I just noticed I was spelling your name wrong, sorry! Do you get that a lot?”
I think it’s a decent measure of how uptight someone is. Chicks named Sonja/Sonya get it a lot and if they’re reasonably unfussed about it they’re generally pretty chilled out sort of people and easy to spend time with. I know a Karl that gets Carl all the time and isn’t fussed unless it’s something official. Then again, I grew up in an era of Kathy/Kathie, Katy/Katie and Kelly/Kellie.
Looky what I bought at IGA
That’s a lot of gravy.
There’ll be a lot of chips to go with that gravy.
Paul Kelly hates this one trick.
I need one of these real badly for my chicken and veg thing.

That ought clear my head! Thanks.
It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.
Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.
Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.
I woke up semi hyper ventilating.
Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.
I’m getting child abuse vibes. Am I reading into this too much?
Nah you’re not. It was random acts of violence.
Makes you hyper vigilant as an adult.
Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.
At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴☠️, of course)
I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”
Do you have an actual tagine because I want one but they’re so awkward to store in a tiny kitchen?
Nah, this was premade, I’ve never made one let alone with an actual tagine…
I hope you enjoy it.
Wow. That’s impressive.
Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.
Dinner sounds yummy!
It’ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.
Check out a show called “Tales from the loop” if it’s on Apple+
Time to make lists of stuff to do and spend the next few weeks doing them. Got so much catching up to do from when I was ill. :)
@Seagoon_ @melbourne So I stopped by Priceline while I was at the shops to pick up some foundation.
On my way home, I noticed that I got the one that’s a shade darker than I normally get.
Then when I got home, I realised that I had made the exact same mistake last time.
The moral of the story? If you’re going to be a careless idiot, it pays to at least be consistent.
I can’t help stupidity but I can tell you if you mix a little foundation with moisturiser it should be alright to use if you don’t want to return it.
@CEOofmyhouse56 Thanks, that’s a really great tip 😊
The good news is that the next shade up still works, and most days I only go for fairly light coverage.
I believe birthday wishes are due to @bull@aussie.zone
Happy birthday, Bull! 🎂
@Catfish @Seagoon_ @melbourne Happy birthday Bull!🍹🍾🎂🎁🎉
I raise my horn to Bull. 🥳 h b’day
Happy birthday Bull! 🎂
Thank you and other repliers! 🥰
Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.
Time to go out there and glare at them.
Yes, I’ve done it before.
Yes, they’re scared of me.
My neighbour had been doing tons of loud renos at all hours for months . He seems to have stopped the past week or so. Thankfully.
Other neighbours were starting to shout at him 😬
Oi! Knock it off ya feral cunts!
More like ‘Shut the fuck up, or I’ll fuck you both up’
They got the message.
Hehhhhbahahhaa yesssss - true chaotic good dad-energy
Rest of the neighbours will back me up 100% but they need a large person (me) to initiate.
Ooooo let me translate that for you into bogan.
Garn which one of you cunts wants a knuckle sammich? Who wants to smell the cheese?
I’m okay with boganese.
They’re very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.
Got a ‘Sorry mate, we’re alright’ from it.
The dude looked genuinely worried that his arse was mine.
Methinks we’re friends now.
Oi wadaya fink this is? Fuckin’ bush week ya fuckin mongrels.
I know all the arguments for keeping cash in the economy, but after being forced to use it for nearly two weeks I have to admit it’s awfully convenient to not have to carry it 99% of the time in Australia.
Today shall be known as “International Unholy Amount of Gravy Bucket Friday Day”
Mark your calendars and secure your chippies.
Will there be mayonnaise?
As you wish
Thank you. 😋 yum
The first thing the Seagoons do when they go back home to Belgium is go to the friterie near Grande Place. Cones of chips with mayo and little forks to eat them with
Yesssss woo hoo 🎉
Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can’t fit into the new place that I don’t want.
Bad news: I have to take it myself.
Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I’m using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can’t stop to indulge it.
Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)Here, have a cup of gravy on the house ☕
Ta! glug
