I agree but the Portello burps are something.

There's a hard to find (at least here) Kirks flavour that I insist you try. Kole Beer.



I've found it 3 times in the last ten years and always on clearance for 50c - amazing drink.

The gently caress is a portello, and why is it only available in Vic for some reason?

It's available in Rockhampton. I've seen it once in Sydney.

Cherry Cheer is also a pro tier soft drink, found readily in the central coast

shannon noll sung at my graduation and there was an audible laugh when he was announced

my mates and I went to see shannon noll as a joke a few years ago. it was deeply funny and we were very drunk.

he showed off his southo heart tattoo and said some stuff that could be construed as “like it or leave it” about Australia. It got less and less funny as it went on and the vibe outside was very stressful.

Do you often sing or whistle just for fun?
One of Shannon Noll's cousins was in my year in high school. During a interschool footy match his scrotum somehow got sliced open by a shoe spike and his testicle popped out. He dropped dacks, turned to where his team was sitting on the bench and yelled "hey look at this poo poo" before passing out. They put his nut back in at the hospital and stitched him back up and he was fine, but whenever someome mentions Shannon Noll now that's what pops into my head.

I've never seen Kole outside of WA. Living in Vic now I've missed it.

Also apparently Vic doesn't "do" Spearmint? My friend travels to WA to visit family and comes back with the catering pump bottles of milkshake flavouring to get her fix.

Not that I actually fucken care, I'm lactose intolerant as all gently caress.

Also the job hunt back in WA has hit a wall. All my friends in FIFO there say the industry is crying out for staff, but every job asks for 2 years minimum experience, and I'm sure as gently caress not getting in at ground level as a driller's offsider just to get my foot in the door at 34. I'll loving die in the desert or blow my back out.

That BTS poo poo sounds dumb as all buggery hey. Kpop weirdos are the fucken worst, like 10 years ago I started going to korean language classes so we could speak it at home and the kid would grow up bilingual, but the class was absolutely packed with wankers who wanted to learn it so they could understand their favourite kpop hits. It's like learning english so you can understand the deep wisdom of justin beiber. Absolute motherfuckers the lot of 'em.

I've read harry potter in all the languages I know

Having something you can latch onto with context is good

But yeah, being packed with idiots on a fad train is annoying as gently caress and I'm glad when I passed that stage of language classes

The best thing about k-pop and j-pop is that you can't understand the asinine lyrics and can enjoy the catchy song without feeling embarrassed like you would for Beiber or Swift or whatever.

Korea's been into traps since long before Kpop.

I don't know why anyone likes that stuff, but the elders lose their minds over it.

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I had an ex who was a huge fan of his, so I ended up meeting him a few times. Nice enough bloke even if his music is kind of crap.
