Some of the plants that came with my new garden Lots of grapes coming in on this raggedy boy  Will get some pomegranates eventually  Tonne of variants of this guy around  This one's my favourite  I think this is another one of the same kind  Some very full roses coming out to play   A cheeky yellow one peeking through some white ones  And the gnarliest old fucker I've ever seen that we hacked back to sticks and is popping out some new leaves  Plenty more to come just figured I'd leave it at that for this afternoon.

So they're burning the fire down or whatever while it's a still night and I'm glad the local fire chief is being a good sport about the worried emails Mrs turnbeug has been firing off constantly. Can't see it any more but it went real bright a while back. Still kinda making GBS threads myself a wee bit but less so after popping into the pub and seeing they got their own little tent city set up next to the mini golf just chatting in good spirits

The Boys is so good. I liked the comic a lot as well but the show is achieving something in its own right with a unique tons and a different take on the characters. Its less mean and more modern and slick and it pays off as its own piece of media instead of a straight adaptation. Like, Stormfront was a very minor and totally different character in the comic, instead we get this mean and sexy performance from Aya Cash who just straight up killed the whole season.

Raged posted:I finished the season and it is so drat good I thought this season was a little 'ripped from the headlines' on the nose and I don't ever appreciate the Designated Girl Fight that it crescendoed with but I do overall really enjoy it and I think the show has made some very clever decisions in adopting it away from Garth Ennis' bitter homophobic howling. [edit] Though to qualify I do see and understand that the girl fight was structured relatively well into place through the season and the show does better than most (particularly in the superhero sphere) at women's representation but it did seem to stick out.

In bundy we used to have a Zone 3 above a main shopping area that was literally hundreds of square metres There's this big building in the centre of town, like a 5 storey high office building that's been vacant as long as I can remember and it would make for an incredible indoor paintball/laser tag building (as long as it was up to par lol), I always used to think about it cos I worked across the road from it

I was genuinely surprised by how well they have adapted the story and managed to excise the worst of the 90's 'edginess' (i.e. misogyny, homophobia) from the source material. The nod to Love Sausage (who was a major character for an arc or two in the comic?) got a laugh out of me. Not sure how I feel about the reveal at the end of this season but I will see where they take it.

I have only watched the show, and I'm pretty happy with the experience and have no issues leaving it there.

The comic kicks a lot of rear end in my memory of it but also it for sure had a lot of that Big Indie Comic Label edginess of the time that surely hasn't aged well.

I think it's 7 overnight but old mate who dropped his viral load in Kilmore has also finally come clean about stopping in Shepp and Benalla as well. Since he kept it quiet for two weeks you can expect several more cases up there in the next couple of days.

Contact Tracer sounds kind of cyberpunk now that I think about it Also the weather is nice in Melbourne today and I saw cops wandering through 2 different parks. Some monocles probably dropped into cups of tea in genteel Camberwell

TISM see sex less in terms of penetration, especially now they can’t achieve it. As award-winning author of The Slap, Christos Tsiolkas, said so wisely after TISM explained to him their theories of the intertwined nature of patriarchal hierarchy and the reluctance of cis-gendered males to grasp a less phallocentric conception of pleasure: “Who are you guys? Piss off.” Like most people seeking guidance on the fugitive impermanence of the sensual, our first thoughts turned inevitably towards the right wing of the Liberal party. Craig Kelly, Liberal member for Hughes, explains: “Listen to Enobarbus’s description of Cleopatra: The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold; Purple the sails, and so perfuméd that The winds were love-sick with them. It’s clearly impossible that a burning water-throne could be powered reliably by anything other than coal. Perfuméd sails are all very well, but what happens when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine? And recycling beaten gold into poop shows just how crazy these greenies are.” Kelly is insistent on the role of imagination in love-making: “I imagine my lover lying in a bed of scattered peonies, carried on a chariot drawn by twelve white ponies, serenaded by a choir of Sky News phonies. It’s pure fantasy, but so is carbon capture and storage.” Pleasure often involves danger – a routine love life can be ignited by just a hint of George Christensen. We spoke to him via Skype from Manila: “Jesus came again, and so should you. Not only did the Lord enjoin us to love the poor, it’s also cheaper.” Tim Smith, Victorian Liberal member for the sexually adventurous suburb of Kew, has certainly seen it all. From his birthplace of Camberwell, in the inner east of Melbourne, he has now, years later, successfully travelled the long and risky four kilometres to his High Street electoral office. Educated at Scotch College, Rugby School, and Melbourne University, Tim has experienced the whole range of social experience, right through from lawyer to orthodontist. After a strangely garbled start to our discussion, in which he insisted his bill to change the spelling of his electorate to “Q” had no relation to conspiracy theories, he explained the basis of all good love-making: “Probably the most harmful effect of the disastrous coronavirus pandemic – besides the interruption to my golf days – has been the growth of weird fringe theories like ‘sacrificing for the common good’. Frankly, I’d never heard the phrase. When Tim Wilson showed me some filthy websites explaining the idea I was aghast. Following self-interest is the key to love. It works for me in bed, just like it works for me in life. When it comes to pleasure, I believe in first past the post. This is how everyone benefits! After I climax my partners often tell me they want to leave. I want them to leave too! We’re both happy. See, the system works.” And we all know Tim Wilson’s even-handed judgement is legendary. The member for Goldstein’s stance on franking credits is an example: he doesn’t support governments asking corporations for unpaid taxes, but he carefully balances this with his insistence governments refund people for taxes they haven’t paid. Wilson was also a “Modern Liberal”, until he wasn’t. Wilson’s philosophy of sexuality is formidably complex, and – a warning – his arcane and subtle language can be hard to follow: “Power is the great aphrodisiac,” he says, a twinkle in his eye. “You cocksuckers don’t get it. We in the right wing don’t give a gently caress what decision is made. NBN? We opposed it vehemently right up till the nano-second we wanted to do it. Government debt? A disaster, until it’s us spending the money. The Westminster tradition? Our party was founded to uphold those traditions, so we knew exactly what we were doing when we shat all over them to get Whitlam out. The free market? It’s a fine and powerful thing, but that doesn’t mean it should get in the way of me making money. God gently caress me, why else do you think we all joined the Liberal party?! Christian love? It’s something we fully believe in, but it shouldn’t be foolishly squandered on other people. Of course we’ll eventually have a carbon tax. We’re not loving morons. We’ll just wait until we’re all so close to frying that the country is in chaos and needs a brave strong leader who has the guts to reimpose order. And that’s not going to be a cabal of bozos like the Labor party. gently caress, you people deserve to be ruled. That’s what shits me most about Dan Andrews. I don’t care about his loving lockdown, I care that ‘he’s enjoying the clampdown too much in terms of the authority and power it’s given him.’[1] It’s not for the likes of him to enjoy power. That’s our job. We in the right wing don’t want to do anything in particular, you moron. We just want to be in charge.” You don’t get more rawly sexual than that! Kelly, Christensen, Smith, Wilson: after a certain age, many men have to find new ways to pleasure, and these four men have certainly done that. They show us all a great truth: you don’t need penetration to gently caress Australia. RHB

If you can access the archives you may be able to read them in one of the previous bad webcomics threads where we went through a few issues (or all of it, I can't remember) but I don't think you will get much from it.

The Boys comic is fun if you want to read something that almost revels in its comical edginess. Like I found it fun in a "c'mon that's hosed up dude" kinda way which I admit is more to my taste than others'. Also I was in my early 20s and this thread seems to trend towards mid 30s so your time might have passed. Like there's a part where a bunch of teenage heroes are all banging prostitutes and then someone yells "Switch!" and they all run around and switch prostitutes. But overall I found it pretty funny. The main character is drawn to look exactly like Simon Pegg.
