We may have figured this out. For all the talk, posturing and driving down inner-urban streets with all four windows down and the sonic enema of David Guetta emitting at NASA-like frequencies, the bogan does not actually like music. It has an underdeveloped Morrissey gland. Sure, it responds, Pavlovian bivalve that it is, to rave whistles and sub-bass rumblings, but things like ‘rhythm’ and ‘melody’ may well do no more than cause the bogan confusion.
So, why? Why would the bogan so studiously be such a big music fan, to the point that it actually likes ‘Music’ on Facebook. Not an individual artist or band, but ‘Music’? Our thousand monkeys experts at the Boganomics Institute in Genève have, after several billion hours of rigorous testing, nutted this problem out. The bogan, knowing that everyone else ‘gets’ this music caper, must fit in. It must, on pain of social exclusion, give the appearance of enjoying the mundane bleatings of Michael Bublé and, by extension, encourage the musical abortion that is Human Nature. It must undergo the trauma of indie rock gigs to prove its bona fides. This, of course, explains why the bogan is incapable of attending these gigs without resorting to shouted conversations and the occasional punch-on.
However, these are bogans we’re talking about, and subtlety is not their strong suit. The bogan would not waste time listening to music simply to enjoy music, but to establish its street cred. So, beyond the aforementioned musical drive-bys and Facebook posturing, how can the bogan prove that it is a music fan? By taking photos, of course.
Having established that the bogan is unlikely to frequent live music performances for the pleasure of witnessing live music, it becomes easily understandable that the bogan’s true purpose for being there is to stand front and centre, raise their iPhone above the crowd, in order to get a blurry, diagonal capture of half of Kings of Leon’s lighting rig, and a flurry that could possibly be their bassist’s hand, and start snapping. And snapping.
In Phuket, the bogan is perfectly happy to enjoy the experience of getting smashed on buckets of beer and errantly identifying ladyboys while only taking the occasional snapshot. The experience of live music, however, is lost on it, so attempting to create a visual record of its attendance, and uploading it – post-haste – to Facebook becomes of paramount importance. Forward-thinking bogans may even upload a Twitpic or two while still at the gig, adding reams of bogan musical veracity to its already bulging resume of forgotten, but recorded, concerts.
The Facebook photo album ‘Kings of Leon Awsum!’ rapidly assumes equivalent importance to other albums demonstrating the bogan’s max clubbing skillz such as ‘Friday Night OMG!!!1!’, ‘Boutique Fridayz!!!’ and, of course, the unforgettable ‘Friday Night with the Girlz!!!’. The only real difference between these undifferentiated dark blobs of pixels is that three contain elevated images of poorly arranged cleavage, while the other (un)focuses on a brightly lit stage 40 metres away. The bogan now understands music.
Musical drive bys…..Love it!
The younger bogans also equate their love of music by the number of amps & subbies they can cram into their chevrodores….
I love it when you talk to some Gen X or Y and they proudly say theyre “really” musical or right into music, it prompts me to ask how many instruments they play ? And they say…. “None but Ive got 300 CD’s”.
Mostly pop, indie,classic rock and reggae to go with their pot smoking sesses. Thats how you gain cred and experience in life, you buy it.
Oh God. This annoys me so much it makes me want to glass every carnt guilty of it. I try to get my revenge by pulling the finger in their lens every time I see it but it’s not enough.
Saturday night I went to see Chris Cornell’s free gig at Rock Lily (more on the bogan sightings in the casino a bit later – I’m a little emotional right now for non-TBL reasons) where there was a clear no photography rule – but farkwits were still taking pics every chance they could. Moment security looked away they were snapping.
It’s even worse when yr at a rock gig and there’s a mosh going but some precious flower is trying to take photos and gets all pissy when you bump into them. Dude/bitch, if yr gonna stand in the middle of the floor yr gonna be hit. No one gives a shit about the maxxtreme pics yr taking to post on facebook for all yr farkwit mates to see.
Also equally annoying – people who raise phones during slow songs and think it’s an adequate replacement for a lighter. No, it is not, it just makes you look like a carnt.
/end rant.
Is this serious?
Yep, Ash is as serious as Erectile Disfunction.
And harder to cure.
Simon, “Harder” to cure. was that the rtoot of a stiff cure ?
Boom tish.
Better people than you have tried and failed, Simon.
What is with the constant abbreviation of your/you’re to yr?
Inner bogan coming out when you’re ranting?
As for the content, every one of your responses to the situations equals pure bogan.
Yr (yeah bitch, I did it again) response is bogan.
I win by invoking Fevola’s Law.
On a tangent as the warmer weather approaches… What is it with sand that makes bogans play Jack Johnson, when at all other times they’re listening to Hot Hits volume xyz?
(mind you, I couldn’t think of a single situation where Jack Johnson would add value, so I guess the beach is as good of a place as any)
It’s the old story, the bogan wants to be seen to be hip but being knowledgeable on any subject takes effort…something the bogan is unwilling to do.
I went to a British India gig (yeah, okay, you can all stop laughing now. I was alone in a strange town) a while back and spotted a bit of this phone thing. Couldn’t work it out. Tried to chat to a few young’uns about the drummer. He went orright. Lots of blank stares. They really have no idea apart from what some MMM type retard has told them.
You’ll like this. I sent a text off to a mate who swears he loves his music more than anyone in Oz. Said I’m off to see British India. Got a text back saying he didn’t know they were playing and was it a one-dayer or test match. This is the same guy who flew to NZ to see Green Day.
Oh, this is close to home.

Next entry #248, twice #124, what is twice as maxtreme as #124?
Dammit there goes my 1 #124 gag allowance, and so early.
People who talk through gigs should be shot. I got stuck next a motormouth girl at a Foo Fighters gig years ago, when they were still cool OK, and she did not shut up from start to finish. I was wishing they allowed glass at these gigs.
I had a same experience at a “That 1 Guy” gig, except it wasn’t just 1, it was about 10 of them. In his quieter songs you literally couldn’t hear him over their chatter.
And don’t get me started on the “look at moi” morons who think it’s cool to get up on their boyfriend’s shoulders. At the last Big Day Out, the boiler room was just infested with these vermin.
I have no objection to the last one as long as the girls understand the social contract that they are obliged to flash their tits if in that position and getting the best view. I’ve been known to carry the odd drunk chick in that position myself.
Yes. The bogan needs to be told what it “likes”, because it’s a moron. How else do you explain the popularity of 2-Day FM, and the fact that you can’t listen to MMM for more than 20 minutes without hearing Khe Sahn *again*. Or that there were so many poxy wiggers during the late 90s and early-mid noughties.
Image is everything, f#ck substance. Whatever gets you #124 asap with the least amount of effort.
This is why I don’t listen to music anymore unless I’m drunk, because once upon a time it could and did change the world. Now it doesn’t add up to shit. It’s merely another consumer item designed to decorate the bogan’s choice of image and some off the shelf precarious, vapid and self absorbed political and social standing.
Which can change in a flash because the bogan thinks conviction is a word that has something to do with 1788 and Ned Kelly. The male bogan will change it’s belief system if the female one it’s getting #124 off is different.
with every comment you become more of a curmudgeon, martin.
It’s the bogans’ fault. I’m actually a perfect gentlemen in the alternative universe where most of the people aren’t bogans instead of the other way around like here. I deserve to be born as an aristocrat in my next life. Or else god is an even bigger c#nt than he already is.
Martin,
Maybe you could come back as an artist ?
Yeah that’d be cool. Drug consumption would be a necessity instead of a hindrance. I can’t draw but. I can draw butts though. I’d be good at that. Female ones. I could be a butt artist and the bogans would love me and pay lots for every piece.
God, too much material, head might explode.
Simon,
Martin as a guest star on “Little Britain”
Yeh butt no butt yeh butt no butt butt.
I don’t want Martin to be the butt of jokes.
Just please don’t offer to spray paint them? ^_^
No. I was thinking I could do artsy in your face butt pictures, with fluro colours and shit and the butt would look a little but unrealistic, but then I could also do stuff like showing a woman with a naked butt in the middle of a busy city street crossing the road or something.
The people in the street wouldn’t be looking at her butt and it would be really deep, like a statement on how sexuality isn’t a big deal anymore.
Youse have got to admit it’s not a half bad idea. You’d just have to move to the eastern suburbs in Sydney, make friends with some pretentious dickheads, paint the pictures and you’d be set.
Martin, I have JUST what you need right here!
http://www.vberkvlt.com/pages/news/instant-artist-statement-bullshit-generator
Seriously, I’ve been very tempted to use this….with your deep thinking you’d have a real career happening in no time….
http://theawesomer.com/arty-bollocks-generator/107164/
Ahh Thank you Nixie! That’s the one I was trying to find….I have it as an app, so I had no web address… 🙂 xx
Vviv2
So long as he does not finger paint them, Have to be especially carefull with the earth tones.
Yep…I’ve missed that humour James. 🙂 xx
Martin DID say flouro colours & shit……
A butt artist?
I’m with Simon…I’m walking away before I make bad bogan gay jokes…
Can I draw the penis that gives the butt #124? I’m good at that.
Don’t you give #124 to skanks every weekend? Just take a photo and I’ll use a photoshop effect on it.
Instant art.
Brown dick in white butt will give me some libtard cred.
Not every weekend. Maybe every third. Nevertheless, I keep an archive of such photos.
p’bee says curmudgeon, I say grumpy c*nt.
Ash, A grumpy cunt is what you get for mixing your curmudgeon with a #124
I don’t care that Bogans are pre cro magnon ooga boogas when it comes to anything that happened after their ancestors mistakenly descended from the trees, I love Music and Listen to vinyl on a top end system. I lie down and shut my eyes and just listen to jazz, west coast hippie rock from the woodstock era, indian classical and devotional music, blues, European classical music and more.
I’m beginning to think that it’s iPhones bringing their bogans along to concerts rather than the other way around
I happened onto Love Songs & Dedications the other night (Mix FM in Melbourne). A stammering half-wit said that his lady-friend was his only “realty”… What? No McMansion??
I like music, but I haven’t been to a live gig of note since 1999
I think I saw Ed Kuepper somewhere in Fortitude Valley in 2000, but just got off the plane after 6months backpacking tour of Timor 4 hours earlier and can only remember buying the first round, can’t for the life of me actually remember hearing any music. Perhaps if I had a digital camera/phone, the mystery of the lost weekend could’ve been solved?
Anyhow, the reason I don’t go to gigs is I think I might have developed a mind case of agoraphobia compounded by an intolerance of fuckwits.
Thats why I don’t do BDO’s, despite the fact there’s usually one or two bands I really like playing. I just know that the heady mix of overpriced drinks, dehydration/sun and upstart little cunts wearing flag capes or E’d up Ken Dolls getting in my personal space would be a recipe for disaster.
Mute point, too old for that shit now, home most nights with a glass of metamucil trying to figure out how to work iTunes and wondering why half the shit on the radio gets played.
It’s moot point, not mute point.
only if it’s a point uttered in silence…
Agreed BB,
I love music….that’s the reason I no longer have any desire to go to a concert to be squashed, trampled & abused by stupid morons who have no idea of the artist beyond thinking if they wear a mask or leather they must be Maxxtreme, or who whose idea of musical appreciation is to stand in inconvenient areas to play air guitar so their mate can take photos of them with the band in the background….. supposedly proving how cool they are
Mind you, the fact that I can listen to better quality music in comfort at home more than makes up for the lack of atmosphere…..
Hard to beat a good gig. But I’m also getting too intolerant for them, plus they are damned expensive. The last one I went to though (Pixies) I had a lounge chair all to myself up on the first level and that was brilliant. I did not have to put up with people invading my space or getting stuck behind a 6ft 5 dude and being unable to see.
Guys, it’s time to celebrate! To celebrate the 10,000th visitor to …
THE BOGUE & BOGUETTE SHOW!!!
I’ve decided to run a little competition. You can check it out here:
http://bogueandboguetteshow.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/quiz-where-am-i/
Morrisey Gland?
Morrisey sucks, as do The Smiths. Mopey bloody Poms.
bastard. and there’s a lot of humour in the smiths – look at vicar in a tutu.
Sorry P’bee. I think they are horribly over rated.
well i’m not designing you a snazzy uniform for our planned bogue-free utopia, so there.
Dude! Harsh.
Ok he can play on the side stage.
i guess i can live with that compromise.
See, that’s what separates us from Bogans.
If you were a bogan you would have just glassed me P’bee.
not being a bogan, and being a weak uncoordinated girl meaning i’d probably manage to glass myself instead.
on the cure, i just bought a collection of their early singles and now i’m wondering why it took me so long.
Mixed up is my favourite. All the classics done electronically and extended.
Extended electronic remixes?
Yeah it’s this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002H8K/ref=s9_simh_gw_p15_d0_g15_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0SVEDTK6NPHBKCSQRFWT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
“A Forest” makes me want to go back to uni and be a libtard.
I just put the link in there, I didn’t mean for people to buy it! Oh, it’s awaiting moderation.
I’m only getting it if David Guetta has done them.
Pbee, weak,uncordinated , girl, isnt that tautology !!! Duck and run
a poorly thrown glass is making its way somewhere in your vague vicinity right now.
F#ck you Simon. Coming from someone who likes Foo Fighters you’ve lost a lot of credibility with music taste. Morrisey is cool, he’s the king of 80s uni cool. Or was it the 70s? Whatever.
F*ck you Martin. He is only cool with hipsters, have you seen his haircut, and what’s with the flowers? I reckon he may just be responsible for Emo. And he gets called a poet. It’s enough to turn anyone off.
He’s like The Cure he has a broader appeal unlike most libtard bands.
Now the Cure ARE cool.
Is John Butler the most Libtard band ever?
Most bogan-libtard band ever.
boguetard?
No it needs the lib in there. Even though mega right wing tea party randist nutters are considered liberal and the definition of the word liberal seems to be convoluted.
Almost got through Atlas Shrugged…
*accepts bouquet*
*blows kisses to crowd*
…but reading 1,200 pages of fictional board meetings and whingeing industrialists crying poor begins to wear after a time…
Your next mission, should you choose to accept it is to read The Fountainhead. I did with only mild side affects.
Then lets see ya try Ullysses. Farkin incomprehensible. I got to page 2!
Aren’t you lucky they made a movie about it just recently.
Which one?
Atlas shrugged.
To late, Read it. Damn.
Want to know how it ends?
The world blows up? Libtards take over the earth and the highest paying jobs become “save the black islamic lesbian whales” type jobs?
I bought Atlas Shrugged for twenty cents from the op shop in Narooma about ten years ago. I got through about forty pages before I could no longer suppress my gag reflex. Putting the politics of the book aside, it is truly bad literature with the most stilted, wooden style of prose I’ve ever read.
What a waste of twenty cents. How the hell it’s become The Holy Bible for those Randroid nutjobs, I don’t know. Randroids are scary. Very scary.
Actually Martin, that’s pretty close from memory. And the killer threw the gun in the lake.
It was a fair while ago that I read them Urban. If I remember rightly it took a bit to get into, pretty preachy. I have a 100 page rule, can’t stop before that, ‘sept James Joyce.
Martin,
The greenies can be stirred if you explain that scientists have discovered that whale farts are the magor cause of green house gass. more so then cows and that there is a secrete plan by United Nations to send fleets of Black Helicopters out to eradicate them thus saving planet earth. Say you heard it straight from Bob Brown.
I’ll make sure I’ve got some buddy holly glasses, a cardigan and a tea cosy on when I do James.
Libtards are so easy to stir up, all I have to do is use a derogatory word for any race except for white people, or give a hint that I may vaguely think that men and women have differences.
The Smiths were great, but I think Morrisey got a bit too self indulgent once he parted company with Johnny Marr. Most of his CDs had far too much filler in them.
Martin, I have that mixed up CD the Cure did – came out before the glut of them we have now, when it was something interesting, not just a way to try and fleece the fans.
The Smiths and The Doors have the same reaction everywhere. You either love them or see them as pretentious tossers.
except that part of morissey’s appeal is the fact that he is a pretentious tosser.
Jim Morrison had the good sense to drop dead right after his peak, Morrisey just keeps bleating on.
Talk about self indulgent twat, he recently had a gig in Ireland where he searched all the punters on entry to ensure no one was carrying any meat products. If he ever tours Oz again, I’m going to go just to smuggle a t-bone in and throw it at him.
I love you, Simon. It is an aspiration of mine to glass Morrissey.
I always found the only time I played them was when I came home drunk at three in the morning after being seen off by the object of my desire.
So yes…glass ’em.
Don’t get me started on The Doors. Most over rated band ever, no contest.
Jim Morrison defined spankerism for a new generation.
I like some Doors songs. Not many though.
I don’t know much about Morrisey so I guess I’m wrong.
I agree The Doors are very overated. Usually one of the first bands bogans like if they ever fancy themselves as a music lover.
I remember I heard this bootleg of Jim Morrison and Hendrix called “Fuck her in the ass”.
Que #124 jokes?
Spot on that Martin,
If you know nothing about music but want to seem cool mention The Doors!
JEEEEZE!
People say black metal’s too rough around the edges, to rude & out there!
Maybe I’ll play them some ‘classic’ artists instead. ^_^
I think you mean Death Metal? Death Metal is way grosser than that Viv2! I could go into details but I better not it’d be a bit bogan.
No Martin, I like black metal, it’s bands like
Tool, 22HERTZ, Machinehead, Slipknot, Dope & Mushroomhead.
Though I like some death metal too such as Cradle Of Filth & Strapping Young Lad. I agree that they can get pretty gross, so I listen rather than watch! ^_^
But thanks for the clip…. it’s going to come in VERY handy! *smirk*
My favourite metal music is Creed, those guys f%cking rock!
Sorry Simon, but >_< !!! Not my cup of Bundy at all….. I just spent some time in Lightning Ridge, their idea of metal is Conway Twitty!! \m/ ^_^ \m/
Yeah, he is one heavy dude. Their Heavy Metal program out there is run by Macca, it’s called Australia All Over.\m/
*with arms wide open*
*glasses self before Ash does*
Normal programming will resume soon.
There there Simon,
Have you taken your medication today?
Even Ash has to pity you…..
A true glasser never shows pity on a carnt.
fun fact: macca who hosts australia all over lives in my street in suburban sydney.
So your street is to blame for all those stupid birds and overwhelming condescension that is sunday morning ABC radio.
Can you say hi for my mum? She loves him.
P’bee, you have the opportunity to do mankind a great service. I will leave the method of his horrible, painfull, cruel, violent, drawnout death up to you. Best wishes.
that’s a big responsibility you’ve placed on my shoulders, simon.
I have faith P’bee!
Tool are most definitely not Black Metal! More like Progressive Rock. Phenomenal Band though.
the doors often quoted jazz tunes such as ‘afro blue’ on live albums. None of you nupties would know that because you are arguing about brain dead pop music . Jazz is where is at man!
I agree Simon. Morissey is a depressing pommie prick.
Speaking of taking photos, plenty would have been taken at
The Fourth Reich Charity Family Fun Day where you could take the kids to see the bikes,tatts & tits show. Unless you are black or jewish I presume.
Not touching the The Smiths thread. Farken eggshell central. Sensitive creatures, those Morrissey fans. Heaven Knows They’re Miserable Now.
In fairness though, reckon U2 might be a tad more responsible for emo… and ending world hunger… and providing Desmond Tutu’s inspiration, therefore freeing Mandela, ending apartheid, and willing the Irish to an inspirational victory over the Wallabies. Same can’t be said for the mighty fightin’ block-rockin’ ‘Boks.
Went to see these lads a few years ago…
… and it seems gigmatuer photography ain’t exclusively the domain of the bogue. Some purty young gentlemen standing in front of me mit some purty fluffy hair an’ some purty tight jeans were raisin’ the iPhones…
Shoe-gazers have no option but to raise the iPhone. If they’s gazin’ shoe, they cain’t be seein’ gig. That’s, like, fizzix, or anatomix or sumfint. And no lighters allowed I’d reckon, in this modern society of #39.
PCGM @ BRMC gig? ROFLOLcopter crash.
And just to tack on a semi-related rider, for a bunch of hippies, John Butler Trio fans seem pretty aggressive in their talk of murdering Andrew Bolt’s children. That’s not pacifism I know and am apathetic towards.
U2 is the domain of nogans imo.
One day Bono is going to see his ego in the mirror. He’ll take a swing at it. Not enough room for Bono and his ego in one room.
Probably create some sort of black hole thing.
JBT fans do what they’re told to…much like convicted racist Andrew Bolt fans.
They’re the same sheep but don’t realise it.
Iggy Pop getting his dick out is always funny, but i wouldn’t film it.
Must be purty wrinkly these days…
Like a salty sliver o’ pork crackling, ready to give some rough, donkey-punchin’, half-mongrel #124 to Debbie Harry.
Heart of *glass*
Gig photography? Seriously? Don’t you think you are kind of stretching the whole “things bogans like” now? You’re making it so as us non bogans have to enjoy these now “bogan” activities with a deep sense of irony. Not as much fun at all!
Actually, gig photography on iPhones is one of the most truly bogan posts recently.
I want to make everything bogan so nobody enjoys anything.
Morrison Hostel by TISM
Jimbo, boy, you’re a croc of shit,
You’re a boozed, selfish thug;
Why don’t you give your mouth a go
And in the other hole put a plug?
By Christ you’ve got a long long way
On a schoolboy’s talent with words –
One crappy bit of symbolism
And you’re adored by a army of turds.
You’re a selfish, rude, arrogant prick;
You’re basically pretty stupid;
Your mysticism’s a lump of shit,
And so are all the girls you rooted.
So don’t talk about being sad and lonely
Or fucking misunderstood
Because underneath that self-pitying phoney
Is a brutal, selfish hood.
I support the police that took you off stage,
I support the fact you bled;
I support the cops who carried you off,
I support the fact you’re dead.
I think that you’re a troubled guy
And I think that’s nothing new;
I think your fans are a bunch of turds
Almost as immature as you.
And when I’m in my supermarket
And some prick pushes in front of my trolley
I’ll be reminded of your stinking bravado
And I’ll ask the cunt to say sorry.
You fans would excuse any rudeness
Just because it comes from you –
You’d tell them to go drop dead
And they’d say, “Oh, how true, how true, how TRUE.”
You need a nine to five job, Jimbo;
You need to get to Flinders St. by train –
Go and find yourself a regular income,
Then you can write a song about pain.
Try and save for the kids’ school fees;
Take some care when you drive a car;
Put your rubbish in a bin
You fucking great rock super star.
You’ve spawned a host of cock-sure shits
Who are nearly always filthy rich,
And think because they’re a bit like Jimbo
They can act like stinking pricks:
An army of brainless, arty youth
That look down upon us common plods –
But they barrack for good ol’ Jimbo
Like the fucking Richmond cheer squad.
So when you’re listening to Morrison Hotel
And Jimbo’s in top form
Whining about this harsh cruel world
And the fact he was ever born
Remember that his fans are rapt
And mourning their suffering lives,
And go down and discuss it at Subterrain –
And least, if Daddy’ll drive.
Jimbo, king of the private school kids:
The girls from P.L.C.
Who identify with his tortured soul
Because they’ve got dropped by friend number three,
Who was Kent from Xavier College –
In H.S.C. he got a “A” for English,
And between Jimbo and William Blake
He hasn’t the brains to distinguish.
Jimbo, father of a generation
Of private school depression idols;
From Nick Cave on, they don’t kill themselves –
Just tell us why they’re suicidal.
He’s made self-pity legitimate;
It means we’ll have to face
One after another artist with integrity,
Like REO Speedwagon – sorry, I meant Hugo Race.
Well, up your arse Jimbo old man,
Up your fucking hole:
You’re a prick pure and simple –
It’s about time you were told;
And up your arse to all your fans;
Up your arse to your tortured, artistic hell;
And while we’re fucking at it,
Up your arse to Morrissey as well;
Up your arse to Robert Smith;
Up your arse to Albert Camus;
All those “I’m suffering for my arty” types,
Jimbo, I blame them all on you.
Anyone who handles life’s pain
With a token of mature self examination –
It’s time they told these pounces to stick it
Up their bogus self infatuation:
And if you think I’ll stop at this,
The answer is, no way, never –
If you think Jim Morrison was a wanker,
Well, Christ – I can rave on like this forever.
A bit of TISM reminds me
Where is Bag’O? I enjoyed his missives from the west.
Havent seen Brimstone for a while or Pinky ?
Must admit Blair47 made my think(shudder) of PT. just some bits of usage and turns of phrase.
Fark he wasn’t that bad was he? There’s nothing wrong with a bit of mispent youth and feeling alienated and pissed off that you have to work 8+ hours a day for 30-40 years.
Personally I don’t think much of The Doors because I think their music was just pretty ordinary and simple without much depth.
He looked like a wanker, that knew he was a wanker, it was all just an act.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjRa0B5OYVM for anyone wanting to hear it.
If this fine woman ever tours I’ll be guilty of a bit of crap front-row gig photography…
… even if I hafta bust out my Nokia 6610 t’do it. Grainier than the WA Wheatbelt. But Fiona, she’s like the female Morrissey… only more talented, has a better vocal range, better songs, better lyrics, is more attractive, probably doesn’t ban beef jerky from her gigs and, perhaps not entirely surprisingly, is less of a pussy…
Naaah, he’s alright mate.
In other news, Channel Ten’s latest poll “Would you feel safe having a convicted wife-killer as your taxi driver?” yields predictable results.
Well, being a male I would feel safe. I vote yes.
If all blokes think like me then the result will be 50/50. That would confuse a few Channel Ten executives/rabblerousers.
Zzzzz, boooring. I’d do her though, as long as she didn’t expect me to think she got where she is via talent and not her looks.
I’m sure she’s thrilled you’d do her. Your terms could be a bit of a stretch though.
Perhaps Morrissey could oblige. Just don’t arrive at his door with a bouquet of veal schnitzels. Awkward.
TBL poll:
Would you feel safe having people who vote on main stream media television polls actually voting for real during elections?
F#Ck. I forgot to watch Chaser. Yay for iview.
I remember watching Ms Apple’s Criminal video as a boy of seven when my sister had it going one day.
I have a strong suspicion that it was from then that I got on the path I am today.
Ah, young’un. Reckon I saw that when I was about fifteen. That party of theirs looked a bit depressing. Still, wouldn’t’ve minded in. But never would’ve got past the velvet rope. Calvin Klein models on heroin only? F#ck.
What about Rock of Ages, We Will Rock You and the like?
Ricky Gervais pretty much summed it up for me:
The other day I was at work and I turned around to see a female co-worker, who up until that point I respected, buying tickets to Rock of Ages online. Ugh.
And … in this week’s episode of …

And also, congratulations to Ash for correctly guessing the location of the banner photo of my blog – North Lakes, Queensland.
(No, not the Cronulla Ash. This other Ash.)
You can call me Bogan Ash. I don’t mind. Cronulla Ash is inaccurate though cause I don’t live there specifically.
I gotta say I was a tad underwhelmed by this one because Bogue was too, well, smart.
Also, on another topic – Beauty and the Geek is back on, and as Urbz (and anyone else who follows me on Twitter) knows it’s must-see TV in Casa de Ash. But I gotta say they’re outdoing themselves in faking it here – even the bogans are catching on.
I agree with Bogue, RBT is an abomination and a violation of privacy.
Cheers Urban.

This looks set to become B&B’s new favourite TV show, faarknhellll.
there’s a poster for that show at my train station. even with the supposed celebrity’s name and source of ‘fame’ listed, i still have no clue who the woman on the poster is.
Hopefully this is another show which is coming “soon” & we won’t ever see it.
I’ll never see it Panda
Coz I’m not a bogan
Cool huh.
You’ll never see it Simon ’cause you’re watching Home & Away. 😉
How did you know?
Well Neighbours is on at 6.30.
Just before my bed time!
Sometimes I stay up till Packed to the Rafters is on. I’m always dissapointed Pat never shows up though.
Fark, your TV would implode into some sort of pun induced black hole.
Is “Packed to the Rafters” code for #124?
I can see Ash at a nighclub saying “I’d love to pack her to the rafters.
That could put a whole new slant on your TV viewing Panda.
you know it wouldn’t surprise me if there are people who already do use that phrase.
It is not as far as I am aware, but I take this post as a challenge.
When I go out next, I shall ask a woman who I wish to engage in #124 with if she wants me to pack her to the rafters, and report back on my findings.
Not that I’ve ever watched the show. I will watch some Celebrity Apprentice though. Mostly because Wendell Sailor is on it and I like him.
On that subject – was Warwick Capper the first ever NAB? Worth debate.
Simon,
Ash certainly wouldn’t “see the light” !
The bogue hates corporate corruption and corporate spivs, unless it gets to be one too. Celebrity Apprentice allows the bogan to fantasise about being a corrporate spiv via one of Australia’s newest and most successful ones, he also did it via the bogues favourite method of spivdom – #85 and #174.
Ya gunna get Glassed Ash ya Carnt.
Can you get a mate to record it on his Iphone so we can watch?
For you carnts? Anything.
Get them to glass you while you’re doing #124.
Okay. How come the Herald Suns of the world call for zero tolerance for “junkies” who get busted with drugs in Australia but then scream for something to be done when “Äussies” get busted with drugs and face harsh sentences overseas?
Because dirty foreigners are worse than drugs on the bogan scale of Things Bogans Sometimes Dislike.
Also Chris, because they are hypocritical arseholes who will hype up anything for a headline… ^_^
I was sympathetic towards him but then I saw his picture, he looks like a classic bullying bogan shark eyed f#ckwad. If that’s the case then Bali can have him.
Too right, Martin! I lost sympathy for him too for exactly the same reason.
BTW have you seen his profile photo on Facebook? He’s holding one hand up with his phone to take his photo … but there appear to be two hands on his chest. But there’s nobody else within shot. Bizarre.
Nah haven’t seen that. Don’t know where I saw it just remember classic dark eyed bogan who specialises in death stare and glassings.
Who’s gonna play him in the Channel Nein mini-series, UnderBali?
You know it’s going to happen. He’ll be released into his parent’s care, come back to Oz and make a fortune out of being a f#ckwit.
It may be time to give the sniper rifle a clean…
Chris Lilley
In just over 10 years time when Schappelle Corby comes home I’m going to go and live in a tent in the bush for 6 months.
2021, Dungog International Airport.
A now hirsute Maxx Markson is seen
rolling his wheelchair towards what
looks like a 55 year old version of
Schapelle Corby waving a well
wrinkled FHM photo contract.
The scene takes turn for the worst
when mother hen Mercedes crash
tackles Maxx when she mistakes
him for Mike Munro. One plastic
hip & two plastic boobs are
damaged during the melee.
Glad you brought it up, Chris…
Saw Bolta snorting coke outta some guy’s arsehole in a scungy cubicle at the ViperSnake earlier tonight, an’ I’m not one to judge… but he’s got a set o’ nostrils on him like a farken jet engine. Nearly sucked out my lower intestine…
That’s strictly between me an’ him though. The Herald Sun’s all for individual liberty… unless it’s fer some poor, friendless, guttersucking down-‘n-outer on the corner of Victoria St & Lennox who’s just pissed his pants. Scum of the earth, those folks. Don’t have the common decency to be able to afford coke, or to be a little Aussie shitbag on the streets of Kuta…
But when all’s said, if it weren’t fer those destitute farken losers, An Affair Tonight’d be a fiddyfiddy split between weight-loss miracles and which supermarket sells the cheapest shit. Izzat what you want Chris? I, fer one, expect more from my 6:30 current affairs pogroms.
And Ash, Warwick Capper weren’t never a new-age bogan. Stone age azzit gets. On the other hand, he did run into a buttload of cash before he knew what to do with it. Now he’s the illegitimate father of Dr Geoffrey Edelsten’s lovely wife.
Don’t tell the Doc that though.
#27462 – JB Hi Fi, damn those stores suck. Lucky they had The Wire going really cheap.
What do you call a tubby nerd with 2 sleeve tatts?
Dane Sw… oh, tubby nerd y’say?
Hmm, letzee…
A My Chemical Romance, New Found Glory or Fallout Boy fan?
Am I in the terrain?
Feel sorry fer those clowns. In fiddy years’ time their grandkids are gonna ask ’em what the story is with the tatts…
“Which war were you in Grampa? Was New Found Glory the name of your infantry unit?”
“No, you curious li’l dickens. They were a pop-punk band out of Southern California or something.”
“Gee, that’s pissweak, Grampa. Did they have Christian overtones?”
“Go play with yer toys, you little shit.”
“Were you in the front row at their gigs, recording on your iPhone, trying to brush up against young Christian girls in the vain hope of taking one home?”
*glass*
Maybe some yogan name like Julian, Hamish or Lachlan.
The guys who work in JB are little gen y tossers. It’s the gen y girls that make it worth while. Even though they’re usually tossers too.
I gave #124 to a girl in a JB Hi-Fi once.
Kingbuzzo,
So would that be “low-fidelity” ?
Hmmmm
How was your “”base “driver” afterwards ?
Simon,2s2s&Martin,
Just got back from Newcastle auditions for Australia’s Got Talent.
Your comments re JB LoFi made me reflective.
There must have been every one in Newcastle who owned a guitar or could sing there today,literally queued round the block,Well up to thre corner and out of sight ,anyway.
Thank God we had been asked to come and had everything organised before.
So a big thankyou to Fremantle Productions.
We did the “Molten Lead” gig. Heat up some sinkers and pour it into the cupped hand of Nurse who immediately dunks into cold water and makes a perfect casting of her cupped fingers complete with finger prints.?
Makes me wonder how many kids by a Guitar or drums and become part of a band and only ever do maybe a handfull of gigs?
Good to see so many having a go though because even one half of one percent need to be something and wwe all benifit.
Best of luck James…. I hope you do well! ^_^
Vviv2, Thanks, We have a bit of fun which is the main thing.
Thinking of getting a full cast together again for Adelaide Fringe 2013. That will be something if we can. I’ll keep you all posted.
It’s one of those jobs isn’t it, where you’ve got f#ck all chance of making any money out of it let alone real money. Like acting or being a photographer or something.
Tell us when you’re gonna be on tele James.
Good work JH.
Nah Spurious, looked more like, sheez I don’t know what kids listen to, but for our age group you would go coldplay or somefink lame. More had the gamer look to him, did I mention neck tatts as well?
Martin,
It sure is.I have been involved in the freak show business if you like since sometime round 1996 and the Big Day Outs, various Fringe festivals and have over 350 gigs in total. (an estimate as I long since stopped counting) and and have had loads of fun but could never say I have made money of any significance.
Seen so many entertainers come and go a lot reealy tallented but especially in this country it is very hard for them to make much more then costs. The lucky few that make it big often get their breaks in USA or UK or struggle with a life of hand to mouth uncertainty with TV work, film work and live venues all notoriously irregular in opertunities.
It is difficult when commercial TV imports such a huge ammount and I suppose it is mostly market driven so we end creating our own dirth.
Enough I wander .
Sure will keep you all posted.
Cheers
Jim
#248 Competing in “Dream Team” competitions
Yup.
But that doesn’t mean Dane Swan ain’t a lock… unless he’s playing in a Grand Final… with Cameron Ling tagging… in which case you’d best leave him out.
TBL Dream Team:
LBP: C Sheen. FB: Anal. RBP: D Goodrem.
LBF: Slater. CHB: Gordon. RBF: Pandora Bracelet.
LW: N Chomsky. C: Straya’s First Female PM. RW: S Palin.
LFF: M Booblay. CHF: M MarxXxson. RFF: P!nk.
LFP: A Rieu. FF: B Fevola. RFP: D Guetta.
Followers: E Hardy, S Corby, B Grylls.
Farken, that took a while. Carnt be farked with the bench. Bedtime.
Farken Geelong… Farken Cattery… My “Cattery Will Get You Nowhere” banner got me farken nowhere on the day.
Go Pies.
And go the French rugby union team, apparently.
Superb arrangement 2S2S. It’s an activity that combines many bogan traits: AFL/NRL/whatever, gambling, “owning” precious items (e.g. I bought So-and-so at a bargain price, and look at him now), and hence bragging, reading the Herald Sun to see if your collection was worthy enough to make it in the paper, slagging off bad performers (tall-poppyism).
Man, to check out the comments section on a News Ltd sports story is to step into a minefield of misplaced anger and purty piss-poor spelling…
Everything’s either a “joke” or a “disgrace” too. Like, what’s up with that?
Mind you, the comments over at Fairfax ain’t much better in that regard. Bastards barred me for suggesting Jeff Kennett schedule a play date with former Carlton Football Club president and current alcoholic John Elliott, where the two grown men can play with their golliwogs, Buddy, Cyril, Chance, Betts, Yarran and Garlett…
Not that I have a bone to pick with the lovely folks at ‘fax… or with Kennett… or with Elliott. It’s just really immature on their part. All of them.
2s2s,
I have comments all the time that News . com wont publish.
Anything where I point out what a lying moral less ashole Foney Rabbitt is.
Anything where i critisise the overarching greed and evilness of pure capitalism.
Anything where I question the morality of usa politicians and their $ centric world.
Anything that critises Rupert and his goons.
Wonder I get anything published.
Have a lot of fun and get lots of likes on Aljazerra so all is not lost.
Doubt if Elliot has been sober since he was weaned. and Kennet is just an unfortunate precursor to the unfortunate Foney Rabbitt. Tony reminds me of the SS Captain from Hello Hello. Goose Steppinh and Heal clicking his way from one Siege Heil to the next.
How about a libtard dream team:
I’ll use a soccer set up. Libtards wouldn’t dare touch a footy.
LF : Germaine Greer CF : Julian Assange RF: Geoffrey Robertson
LH : Phillip Adams CH: Christopher Hitchens RH : Kathy Lette
LB: Lee Rhiannon LCB: Jonathon Holmes RCB: Geraldine Doogue RB: Bob Brown
GC: Michael Moore.
A bit too Australian but I don’t know many overseas libtards. Oh, Noam Chomsky. He can be in reserve. Even though he’s a pretty maxxtreme libtard and should be on the field.
Martin, Like your team but with one reservation and thsat is
Lee Rhiannon. I realy think she is a bit flakey.
Maybe for some real “Aussie Flavour” Bon Katter ? At least he wouldnt score an “Own Goal ” !!
Bob Katter is more of a righty protectionist isn’t he? But sure he can play for being entertaining and passionate. Just keep him away from Bob Brown! Because you know, Bob is gay and I think Katter does not like gay people.
Martin, Bob is rightish protetionish but like the old socialist leftish Tom Uren from wayback; like him or hate him you can always believe that whatever he is saying is what he means and that realy is something strange for a polly.
I like him. He’s making an assault on the QLD parliament with his new party.
Good thing the senate is owned by the Greens hey James. If Abbott gets in next time which is looking likely.
He won’t be able to pass his “make the poor half as rich and run over their children in 4WDs and make the rich twice as rich” legislation.
Abbott: the yogan’s poster boy and cult of personality figure.
Maybe time to organise a close Bridge St Protest.
Dick Smith can challenge Hardly Normal and Solomon Slew to publically compare tax returns ?
Some pockets of righties have a bit of a soft spot for Assange… what with that libertarian-type “holding the government to account” trip he’s on…
I’d chuck John Pilger in there… along with the always controversial corpse of Howard Zinn… the always lovely Naomi Klein… my man, the always fabulous Gore Vidal… David “the man with a haircut you can set your watch to” Marr… and perhaps Kerry O’Brien as a tagger, the role usually assigned to his hard-workin’, bluey-collar nephew, Cam Ling.
That’s an imposing midfield right there.
For an All-American team, simply pick anyone and everyone who’s gone toe-to-toe with culture war enthusiast and Fox News anchorman Bill O’Reilly.
If #248 isn’t a worthy pairing with #124 I will be pissed.
I’m sure TBL are shaking in their individual boots Ash…. They won’t want to be glassed! :-)xx
I’m posting from my WordPress account as I get the schooners a-ready.
Honey Bucket is a rad song, King Buzzo.
Really enjoyed the show y’all did with Primus a few months ago. Keep up the good work, old man… and never cut yer hair.
Saw these guys at The Corner Hotel in Richmond about 14 years ago (?) Loudest f*cking band I ever did see. I’m re-posting this vid on my book of faces page. Thanks heaps 2S2S.
Ash,
Maybe in YOUR dreams !!!!
Ya know, Thor from Nurse Jackie is quite the “Fantasy Football” wiz.
“Some pockets of righties have a bit of a soft spot for Assange… what with that libertarian-type “holding the government to account” trip he’s on”
Re that trip: I’ve always found the conservative claims about being anti-establishment lovers of freedom and liberty a little confusing, because the American variety seems to adhere to stifling religious values and buttoned down social orthodoxy. Where’s the personal freedom and individuality in that?
Yeah, a corner of the Tea Party movement is actually purty embarrassed at the Bible-bashing and ill-informed founding father revisionism of the likes of Palin, Bachmann (are they the same person?) and the Fox News farkwicz. I’m talkin’ ’bout the capitalist libertarian hardliners whose main aims are to cut taxes, slash corporate regulation, abolish the Fed, bring back the gold standard, kill Keynesianism and, well, lynch Ben Bernanke…
Not all that well-versed in this whole bidness, to be honest. Just worked for people of that ilk for a time. Lovely folks, fiercely intelligent, but, amongst other things, they had a real gripe with the institutional, state-sponsored, violent theft of wealth from the individual; known to most non-drama queens as “paying taxes”…
But having said that, some guy from our US parent company wrote a painstakingly researched thesis on the why Bible – far from preaching socialist values, as the hippies would have us believe – is actually a text that espouses the values of good old-fashioned free-market fundamentalism. Some whacked-out shit but he showed his work.
Turns out that passage from Genesis was a typo from the big man upstairs… It should’ve read “And on the seventh day he invested”. Who’da thunk it?
Seems you can’t have a grassroots far-right movement without a bit o’ god-bothering on the side. How else wouldja get the plebs on board? You know, the Real, God-fearin’ folk who know a thing or two about Real Life, thankya very much.
See Jeebus makes it all right, anything really. So if you just blame/invoke/authorise via/etc the lumpen masses have a reason to conform to you, jeebus says it’s alright.
Worked for Jimmy Baker and Tammy Faye!
Don’t forget Swaggart. He found his path to Jeebus through the divine company of follower-funded prostitutes. It’s done no such thing fer me. But I’ll keep at it in the hope of finding that special holy hooker mit a heart of gold, myrrh and frankenbok. Julia Roberts, I’m looking in your direction.
How about that other apocalyptic, nigh-on fossilised clown who’s made a purty handy living swindling dickbrains outta their life savings toime an’ toime again? The guy who’s been in the paper in recent months. Farken, really old carnt. Saying the world would end in 1989… then saying it would end April 2011… then October 2011… think this Friday, of all days. So be sure t’party hard. Except you poor farken hillbillies who gave him all yer cash. If it don’t happen then, I’ll buy yous a consolation beer. Better luck next time, Cletus. You’ve been fliggidy-fleeced.
High-larious if the silly old prick dies Friday. Of being old. Really, really, bloody old.
And the new high priest of show me the money – Benny Himm.
2s2s,
The Caflicks got it sorted; just do whatever shit you like 6days a week and get forgiven at con-fession every sunday so long as you cough with enough readies your sweet. what a racket
no wonder all the Mafia hoods used to go to church so regular. made up for anything.
Bloody oath they’ve got it sorted JH,
The Vatican. What an upstanding beacon of morality those silly old farken kiddie-fiddlin’ celibates are. Not to mention the Aussies over there treating Mary MacKillop’s whatchimacallit as a sport, what with the green and gold and the “Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi”. Just coz the Vaticarnt’s lost its dignity, let’s us not do it too…
In any case, go Celtic over those bloody Proddy Rangers. Vidooks!
And I await with bated breath the saintification of T Abbott. He might have to die first though, so who’ll do the honours? JH, both you and I know you wanna.
And could you polish off Nick Riewoldt and Stephen Milne while yer at it? Sinful Sainters.
2s2s,
Iv said it before just need an excuse to get the .243 with the 6X scope out ofr a bit of Feral hunting. Reckon this would count as equivalen to ferals ? Like hunting “SillyGoats” i the Flinders Ranges For “Big Fat Pigs”(not the copperfs who would all be on our team) I would prefer the .410 bolt action shotty with Winchester magnum solids. They will drill holes right through engine blocks so they might be all right for Pope Moboiles and other light armour.
When we finish with them we can start on The Young Liberals, Perfect examples that money and education do not produce either socially responsible persons nor induce in them an inclination to original thought or a responsible work ethic.
Hoping this one works James….
Surely ONE of them should….>_<

That is superbe a real epicurean comment.
I am in process of sending it to every god botherer that i know and a few more i suspect !
Another one: calling their boyfriends/ girlfriends during the gig and turning on speaker phone for their boyfriend/ girlfriend to hear
#27465 – Cars that Park Themselves
Have ya noticed this? Ford Focus Tittanium (is that betterer than Platinum), Golf, Falcadores will be following in about 5 years. I reckon anyone who can’t reverse park should have to hand back their licence. That’s not very libtard though
So set up a subcommittee to look into John Butler writing a song to go with an extensive carbon neutral advertising campaign, conceived, written and filmed by 120 kg lesbians dressed in orange tyedye smelling of lavander who drive tofu powered Kombi’s. Bob Brown and Julia approve.
#27466 Schoolgirl fights.
Scrag fight – The bogan hopes a boob will pop out and then the lesbian tendencies will kick in. Bit like the movie Wild Things.
“Schoolgirl fights”
And then uploading them on to youtube.
Guilty.
Simon you know if the boys say (to toughen up) “Go Grow some Balls” They got it all wrong. According to a lady(“Im a real lady”) of my acquaintance they should grow a vagina if they want to be realy tough. Reason being is that balls are small and very sensative wheras a vagina will take a real pounding.
Dude, not touching that one.
Gedit.
It’s one of the benefits of living near a Senior College (known locally as Deadbeat High) It’s obvious that charm is a compulsory course.
If they also include – Masticating Chewing Gum with ya mouth open…
Well then they are all set for a career at JB Hi Fi!
They roll off the bus in a conga line of music video fashion victims, only fatter & stupider.
You don’t also have a Westfield nearby do you Panda? Then they have somewhere to hang out when they get knocked up by their boyfriends best mate.
TBL makes me feel like a horrible human being sometimes.
There are two actually,
I’m kn at Wezfiels
they scream into their mobiles.
Dya fckn need smokes?
Livin the dream Panda, livin the dream.
Addendum- I mean the bogans.
99.9% certain Westfield does not feature in Panda dreaming.
Sometimes a few words are worth more than a picture…..

that’s actually a betty white quote.
Peebee, You are correct , I realy could not recall so made the mistake of dressing it up. In my defence it is younks since I heard it so probably didnt even get it verbatim. Sounds like a good line to use to agravate some young lad with an attitude problem.. Just after I blow my car horn for 30 seconds at the traffic lights when im parked beside their matt black Nissan Silvia with 200mm megaphone exhaust and stereo with quintillion watt subs that are taking the paint of surrounding vehicles.
Now the confusions sets in. Someone close to me has an audition for Masterchef. This would be the most un-bogan person in the world.
Is being on Masterchef bogan or is it only bogan to watch it? Or is it bogan to watch it and only be interested in healthy food and cooking for 60 minutes a week? I don’t know. If I watch it do I slide back down that slope to clinical boganity?
This is one of those existential bogangst moments.
Ok Mick here goes.
It’s ok to watch
Not ok to stay home so you can watch at the exclusion of all else
Ok to enjoy certain contestants
No ok to discuss their supposed sex life at work
A friend can be a contestant and still be cool
Unless they sell their soul to New idea or strip for Ralph
Get the idea? Any other thoughts?
Roger. It seems a fine edge.
My worry is the boganic ambience that Channel Ten will so thoughtfully provide. Is the disease spread from person to person by celebrity ebola monkeys?
Mick,
celebrities are worse then monkeys.
Monkeys spread Ebola
Celebreties spread Ennui
JH, scientists were able to cure ebola in monkeys.
They’ll never be able to cure a bad case of Richard Wilkins.
A fine line indeed. If you buy Masterchef branded cookware you are doomed.
Did you finish that Carton of Brownhill or save some for Chubby and I?
Umm…I bought five dozen actually. That may seem extreme to those whp have never tried it. Made lots of good gifts for people and left me in everybody’s good books for a while.
Still eleven bottles left. It’s surpringly good to drink poolside after a good workout. Even without the workout. Grab Chubby and the little ladies and come around whenever you want…probably be able to rustle up a masterchef type feed as well.
Mick, never a truer word was spoken!
I think foodies are pretty bogan, somehow they make it bogan even though being a chef is actually honest work. You can’t make a dish and get capital gains from it in 6 months.
I think it’s basically a sideshow to #85.
A sideshow to #85. Never thought of that. I think you’re onto something.
Everyone you talk to these days is putting in the chef’s kitchen. If you don’t have granite you’re nobody. It’s an industry within #85.
Next step will be MasterBath. Over the top ensuites next. Granite toilet seats.
Yeah it’s all about being a smug home “owner” and fortifying yourself and your family. F#ck society. I see alfresco dining as the same. A bunch of smug c#nts marking their territory in their crocs and fancy sunnies.
I’m always looking at recipes. But they’ve always got f#cken garlic in them or they’ve got some weird ingredients in them that when you add them all up cost as much as just getting takeaway.
Mick, next stop is the crash I hope and these tossers can go back under the rock they came from and if you want good money you’ll have to have old fashioned skill.
Martin, you’re not thinking like most people!
Nobody, repeat, NOBODY realises a capital gain in just six months.
You have to hold onto it for twelve months. Then you get the 50% capital gains tax concession.
So if I make a 20% capital gain in eleven months, or a 40% capital gain in thirteen months – I pay the same amount of tax. Even though I’ve made twice as much money.
Yay for the lying rodent John Howard!
Most of the property investment is in existing houses and not new ones. I wish Joolia would show some more balls and do what Henry Review says to do.
Oh she’s got balls Martin, no doubt on that.
And f*ck you, I’ve got laminate benchtops, that prbly means my food tastes 50% less maxtreme, and yes I am a good cook.
Simon,
I am mortified
I have laminate bench tops but they are in a granite pattern ! But we are good cooks
She does doesn’t she. All the crap she’s endured for the carbon tax warrants massive kudos alone whether or not one agrees with it.
I’ve got granite benchtops and I only have 2 dishes which are generally popular.
A bogan BBQ and some boring chicken with oyster sauce.
I’m not culinary happy.
But I’ve been thinking of giving up and living on rice. It works for the Chinese. They love it. Good for the waist line too.
Martin , Just for you I will write up one recipie every week.
Chicken and Tarragon caserol:
Four Chicken Thigh Fillets cut into about 20/25mm cubes
Two medium carrotts diced about 6mm cubed
Four Medium Mushrooms thin slice then dice fineish
One rounded desert spoon of chicken stock powder(Aldi or Continental are best
One cup of frozen peas
One level desert spoon dried Tarrogon
One level teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
One Jar of Pasta sauce (Aldi chunky vegatable is good)plus about 1/4 cup water to rinse the jar.
300ml thickend cream
two table spoos cooking oil (to transport the fat soluable flavours)
All into large pot high heat and just about continual stiring and folding untill boiling.
Transfer to slowest simmer on smallest burner for about 20 minutes.
Prepare the (Typically ) Pasta, I like Spiralie because it holds the sauce.
500gms pasta Large boiler, 3to 4 litrs Boiling Salted water,realy vigerous boiling too ,four to six depending . add the pasta and immediately stir to stop it sticking to itself. stir occasionally untill it comes back to the boil (Big Burner) then leave boiling vigerously for about 12 min. Test towards the end you dont want it soggy all through. Drain in a large collander under running hot water (as hot as your tap will go) rinse thouroughly to remove all the loose starch as that will make it stick together.
Place the drained pasta still in the collander back over the boiler, gas off and the lid on the top to keep it warm.
Prepare 3 heaped desert spoons of Maize Corn Flour (Never the “Corn Flour” made from wheat. It produces a slightly slimey texture)
Place the corn flour in a mug with about 150 ml of cold milk combine with spoon then stir into the caserole with the heat basck on higjh for a minute or two untill it is thickened and evenly distributed.
Serve with the Pasta.
Its Simple Quick Very tasty and serves
Next week you can have Pork and Veal pasta bolonaise or Pasta Carbonara ultra creamy version or something french like Chicken breast stuffed with spinach wraped parcels of swiss cheese and tarragon, Or an English Stuffed Leg of Lamb. Stuffed with bacon, Kidneys, Nutmed and glazed with apricot and mustard ?
Your call.
Bugger I for got the can of drained Canelli beans. or chick peas, very important.
Sorry
Aw thanks man. Wtf is tarragon. Nevermind I’ll work it out.
How about something light? I still fancy eating like an impoverished Asian. I’m feeling very stuffed at the moment. I just had a meat lovers pizza like a big bogan. It was f#cken awesome but now I feel like a pig. Usually I get supreme but their supreme has been shit lately.
Hi Martin,
Tarrragon, Just a dried herb,get a little Masterfoodsr MacKenzies bottle about 30mm diameter and 75/80mm tall, last for ages.
A relatively light chicken snack / meat component of main meal is the good lod ckicken thigh fillets which when you unroll them you will have a thick end, cut it into two strips, then the middle thin section one or two and the other end again two or three as it is a bit thicker as well.
Place all asside then in a large mixing bowl add1/3 cup of tomatoe sauce, 1/4 cup of sweet soy sauce, one 1/3 cup of regular soy sauce, 1/4 cup of oyster sauce,two rounded table spoons of sugar,,1/4 cup of good cooking oil( Penut or rice bran oils are the best),1 rounded teaspoon of minced ginger, one heaped teaspoon of minced garlic, one heaped teaspoon of minced chillie,( Masterfoods or continental do great minced chillie,realy full on flavour but not to hot, the ginger and the garlic minced any generic will be ok), then one rounded teaspoon of Chinese Five spice. ( Again a little bottle of MacKormack or Master foods will be best)
Then just mix all the ingreadiants into a nice marinade sauce and add the chicken and stir it thouroughly through.and for to keep the smell down cover with cling wrap.
When ready to cook in between five minutes and overnight preeheat fan forced oven to about 225 degrees C and place the chicken with the skin side down on to a wire rack which you stsnd on a baking tray. You will need two trays for that amount of chicken and dont have them touching each other.The hot air needs to circulate.
Stick in oven and after 20 min rotyate the racks top shelf to bottom and fron to back then give another 15 min approx. Just keep an eye on it so as not to incinerate it but you want it cooked through and nicely blackened round the edges.
Serve either on its own or with say rice with peas,butter and chives and parsley stired through to make a full meal. Aslo keeps well under cling wrap and is nice cold.
So is that light enough of do you awant a killer tuna and balsamic vinegar ,and black pepper sandwich or a killer diced cold ckicken with mayo,fresh cream chives and parsley sandwich?
You got a rice and beans recipe? I been meaning to try that.
I want some good libtard recipes that are as cheap as shit.
How about the “Special Fried Rice”
You can eat as a main or serve as a side ?.
Also that chicken caserole you can do that with no chicken but about one to one and a half cupps of dried lima beans ( cooked first and that is the dry volume not the cooked)
How many servings do you cook for ? Most of mine are for two to four but are all scaleable.
It’s for three. Nah, fried rice is not healthy enough.
Thanks anyway but nevermind. All your recipes have got a tonne of ingredients in them. I guess it’s unavoidable for anything interesting.
baked chicken is the easiest thing in the world. chicken, baking dish, whatever stuff you have for flavour – garlic, lemon, tomatos, spices, mustard, anything – score the chicken a few times, put your flavouring of choice on the chicken/in the scored bits, put it in the oven at about 220 for around 25 minutes and you’re done. you can even put veggies in the same dish to bake at the same time. ultimate easy and lazy meal. you’re andyou’reyou’re done.
My mum has laminate benchtops. Nothing maxxtreme about them.
And I have an announcement to make.
For the first time since I was seven years old, from this December yr Ash will no longer be a Shire bogan. I’m leaving the fatherland and moving to enemy territory with all them wogs n shit.
Lakemba? I reckon you’d make a good Muslim Ash. You’re already good at objectifying women. Not judgying or anything, I objectify them too. I think they’re much more fun as objects.
Nah, Brighton. I’d get bashed at Lakemba.
And I’d make a horrible Muslim. I drink, I do drugs, I continually take every deity’s name in vain, I don’t like authority, I’m not giving any bearded cleric farkwit 10% of my nearly non-existent income and the thought of praying five times a day shits me.
Allah is a c#nt. I’d glass him and his followers any day.
Fatwah on me! F#ck you towel heads!
Me too. And I’d glass Buddha as well. F*ckin fat c*nt. Maybe Vishnu – not Shiva though. That carnt would destroy me.
I’d glass Jesus for his poofy beard. Have a shave ya dickhead. If he was so good he could have invented clippers.
I’d want to glass Confucius, but would probably end up glassing some other carnt.
“If you can not glass carnt you want, want to glass carnt you can.”
I’m good at this philosophical shit.
You two are going to hell in a handbag.
I’m well aware I’m going to hell. At least it’ll be warm and I’ll know people there.
so are you going to join in the drag races in the car parks and along the grand parade?
I think Ash sold his chevadore. He can be the nun nuf in the passengers side that does the wigga’s hand gesture to the doof doof.
Simon ya carnt. I can’t do wigga hand gestures since I’m not white.
And while I did sell the Commodore, I have something else maxxtreme along the way.
That’s farkin racialism Ash. Just coz your a curry coconut ya too good to do hand gestures proper like.
I’m gunna talk to Bolt, he’ll fix ya.
Ash will go to hell just for all the #124 he’s done.
One of those latino lowriders Ash? The ones with the hydraulics that go up and down?
You could use it for #124.
He has prbly bought a fully sik, lowered Kia with dustbin exhaust and fluffy dice.
And Martin, I don’t think Ash can go to hell for theoretical #124, he needs to find a participant first.
How do you like them apples Ash?
*glasses Simon* How’d ya like them apples, carnt?
Martin, tell me where to get one of them lowriders.
Dunno man.
Maybe you could go for a wog classic, an early 80s gemini.

Or even better, a gemini panel van so you can have #124 in the back:

Aw man I want one.
Martin,
The classic wog car used to be a purple valiant with white pompoms round the rear window and a pair of minature socker boots or fluffy dice hanging of the rear view mirror.
If I could have one of those old muscle cars I’d blow my load all over it. Beats the hell out of the tacky, tinny shitboxes these days.
I had an old wog mate at uni who was a bouncer/bar tender, took roids, and drove a gemini, and lived in tempe near Ash’s new digs, such a wog. God bless him he was a good bloke.
Hey Ash, get one of these!
Martin, she dosent need balls shes already got a vagina !!!!
I reckon that red hair does something to the brain. Gives them courage.
OK guys, for the first time ever, I proudly present to you genuine, real-life, ridgey-didge photographs of some of the most loved characters from …
THE BOGUE & BOGUETTE SHOW!!!
You can check them out here:

And let me know which other characters you want to see 🙂
I’m amazed Urban….They’re so lifelike! ^_^
shevonne’s three chins in a row across her jawline are an interesting look.
Bouge was better looking than I expected….Do you have any of the rug rats?
Bogue even….
That’s brilliant Urban,
I bet Martin wants to do Shevonne now he has seen her in the flesh so to speak.
I’m a cat person so maybe I would. I like dogs too but they stink and they poo on the lawn.
Cats are likely to poo on your bed if they feel like it. I prefer the lawn.
Well each to their own, I dry wretch whilst picking up poo. I bet you inhale and you love it.
I smoke that sh8t.
Harden up Martin, ya soft bogan.
Cats realy like to poo in the Vegie patch. usually next to the carrotts .
Mrs Hanibal had a cat onec and it went decidedly even more screwball then most cats and started crapping in the bath !
Thats about the time there was a report from the launch controll centre at Woomera that the chinese had launched a cat into space. !!!
Probably sounded like a Libyan jet fighter going by. Meeeeeeooooooooooww just before it crashed and burned in a pile of old Plutonium in the Simpson desert.
Swift & Shift is pretty good as well. I see Ian Turpey around every now and then, he’s skinny as because of cancer, hope he makes it through.
I’ve never been sure if Pauly Fenech is bogan.
Ash I have worked on Paulies shows f times ,so im no expert but he is no Bogan. He is an excellent character actor though.
i think he’s a self aware bogan. which may be a contradiction in terms.
Ahem, p’bee…if being a self-aware bogan is a contradiction, then what am I?
We’re a rare species fo’ sho’.
you’re a special and unique snowflake, ash.
Housos looks awesome….the trailers on youtube crack me up….
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8831066/Stone-Roses-reunion-Its-happening.html While youse carnts go on about shit music, I’m gonna go listen to What The World Is Waiting For and figure out where I’m getting the money if they play a reunion gig at Spike Island.

You’ll be needing this Ash.
Smoking whilst pregnant.
I’m a socialist, hipster, art loving, gay rights activist, and I take photos at music events. This is clutching at straws, I think the first guy to post a response to this article lost all credibility when he said he went to Chris Cornell’s free gig.
A few years ago I was at soundwave to see Nine Inch Nails. Several thousand people in the mosh pit, all going hard. Guy in front of me turns around threatening to punch me for singing along coz it was spoiling the video his girlfriend was taking on her phone to go on YouTube. Turns out its not enough to show your friends how much you love music, true validation comes from total strangers giving your shitty, blurry, unsteady, incomprehensible video a thumbs up.
I don’t think I’ll ever understand bogans, or what boganism actually means.
I host two radio shows that play underground music (as wanky and pretentiousas that sounds) if I appreciate the music I am hearing at a gig and it’s an artist I like and wanted to see then why does taking photos make me a bogan? You people draw a long bow sometimes.
