We haven’t figured that out yet.
We had huntsman spider that spanned 35cms in our shed as a kid, so naturally we named him gary. I was spray painting my bike spokes one day and didnt realise it was coping all the overspray and lathered it in a nice healthy coat of chrome paint. Lived another few months before it died, so we had a burial for it.
Its not uncommon to knock out funnel webs out of shoes or divert our hiking tracks when coming across eastern brown snakes. Its funny to see people freak over our deadly wildlife but god forbid walking outside in spring when these fuckers are around
It’s amazing how the term put up or shut up is lost on some on this site.
I’ve never been swooped by a magpie. Thank fuck.
Since we’re on the topic of deadly Australian creatures, it’s gotta be the paralysis tick that scares me the most. Those dickheads are less than a centimeter long and can stop your diaphragm… Jesus
Don’t even get me started on irukandji…
I propose a new thread! “Shit You Only Find in Australia: And other fun fairy tales”
The more I read on this forum the more I think Australia is a horrible place to be lol
Fuck all jelly fish. I got stung to shit in January and still have a rash from one.
I tried gluten free pasta today after reading @kleinhound referencing it about 20 years ago. It tastes absolutely ok.
Quinoa, chick pea, bunch of other pastas.
Dont get me wrong, I ate a huge prime rib at the Crow’s Nest in Santa Cruz day before yesterday.
I am wondering when @Chris_Colucci is going to pull the trigger on something?
Why, you got more drama with other posters again, lol.
Oh not me. I’m just a bystander on this.
You remember that kid in school who would tell the teacher, “I don’t care, go ahead and suspend me.”
It’s like that. It’s kinda sorta exactly like that.
This is the first time I’ve let myself get involved. It was kind of easy since it was a group effort. I knew @Chris_Colucci wouldn’t disappoint. I also knew that I was running the risk of letting him embarrass me by bringing him into that mess. But I think it was worth it.
I think the guy over estimate what level of sway he had. I believe that he figured guys would go wolf pack on you once he called you out.
Suspending someone for a millennium is a clever touch.
I used red lentil pasta. It tasted… fine. Still covered it in 1.5x it’s own weight in lean beef mince though
It’s all cool. Your stance on pistols makes sense. We’ve all known your joints are delicate as glass ever since your first thread on the site years ago: “I’m only 31 years old but high intensity weight lifting has worn me down this year. Looking forward to something new and giving my joints a break from all out lifting for awhile.”
I kid because I care. ![]()
Confession: My first thread on the site pondered the longevity of Jack LaLanne vs Helio Gracie, where I presumed LaLanne would pass on first. I was wrong.
