A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense



One of my ancestors was the first to discover gold in Australia and supposedly owned a bunch of what is now downtown Sydney. One day I will hopefully be able to afford a private army to take back what’s rightfully mine.

That just reminds me of how emu farms were apparently a big thing in the US in the late 90s/early 00s for reasons that baffle Australians.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I have no idea tbh, never been there, I’m in NYC :) That’s the way I remember the story from years back but I probably added that detail if it doesn’t make any sense.

I looked up the general meaning of 'downtown' and it's basically what we call the 'CBD', Central Business District.

Definitely takes a lot of the romanticism out of it.

Wait, so that downtown song is just a song of business idiots singing gleefully about how they love to go to work to find a friend that understands them, and make them not lonely?

...dear god what a loving bleak song.

I am Fat Man, hear me roar!

Uptown/downtown is originally a New York City thing, as I understand. Downtown is the CBD, generally lower socioeconomic area with higher population density and more apartments. Uptown is the richer, lower-density area with more houses. It doesn't necessarily refer to geographical directions outside of NYC.

INXS has far more members, so it's simple arithmetic
