POP ROCK FOR A PLACE.

If I picked maybe better instead of tawqeet I would have won the box trifecta.
But then again, if I bought the winning tattslotto ticket last week, I would have won 23 million.
As it is I lost $25.
I sux.

[Kid Presentable]

Without Makybe Diva, the casual punter was fucked. I should add that the missus picked Pop Rock, I had Railings cause it was payng $54 for a win.

[hellojello]

Man up till today I was only $2.50 in a the red covering the entire spring carnival. Which is good for me. But now I"m like 27.50 in the red. I really suck at gambing, especially on Cup day. Last saturday I won like $37.50 but that was only because somehow I put a bet on a horse I wasn't even intending to bet on and it came third in the derby. So coupled with the win (efficient) I didn't do too badly. But yeah cup day is notoriously a bad day for me. I should give it in I can't actually remember the last time I had a win on it, and I've been doing it a long time since it's always been like a family bonding thing. And every year our whole family loses. Like I swear to god we must have had more than half the field picked between the 8 of us and I dont think anyone got anywhere. I knew it was silly to not put single bets on the horses I thought would win the trifecta...ah hindsite what a wonderful thing. Seriously though I had I think 5 horses on it (im a small time gambler like $1 each way) and the best I got was 11th.

Yeah go us (my family) we bond over gambling, the first win I remember having was Lets Elope on the caulfied cup in 91. I must have been about 10. I think I got sucked in at that point. But have barely won since.

UNAUSTRALIAN!!!!

[Kid Presentable]

WHY ARENT YOU LADIES AT THE RACES DISGRACING OUR NATION?

Seriously, we have war going on, people who can't afford to feed their children, and the country turns to a horse race and calls it 'monumental'.

We lost.

[hellojello]

I think they get their own just to make up for it.
Even Launceston Cup gets a holiday.

edit: in launceston.

We're the ones getting ripped off australia, they get cup day AND show day. Thanks to mr kennet we don't get show day anymore.
you heartless bastad.

I'm unemployed. Life is a highway.

Melbourne Cup is our anniversary. She asks: "When did you decide you wanted to be with me?" and I say: "When you got drunk."

ok i admit it, you got me, I"m UNAUSTRALIAN too.
but don't tell anyone.
And besides don't u think it is kind of convenient they held that water convention today (about Vics water crisis) ....so the sad and sorry news could be superbly overshadowed by the the Melbourne Cup.
IT SEEMS A LITTLE CONVENIENT MR BRACKS.
TOO CONVENIENT.

hang on how does that actually work since the date of cup day changes like every day for 7 years until it repeats? Or something like that.

[Kid Presentable]

I exorcise demons when I see people glammed up for Melbourne cup, cause no matter how good you look, champagne=urine. People get funny messy.

[hellojello]

Unless you have cerebal palsy and just walk different because of it and end up getting booted by security for being messy despite you saying you're disabled.
Remember that last yeah.
Oh what a proud moment that was.
I hope we never forget.

security guards are awesome!!!!!!

[Kid Presentable]

hahaha

It's the 6th, but I prefer to acknowledge it on the day of the race.

Tzar is probably out getting fucked up. I hope he doesn't get into a fight. The women using the urinals should be a blast for him.

:cool:

[hellojello]

well I'm not surprised just looking at this site is a blast for me (http://www.urinelle.biz/html/en/Howtouse.shtml)

[Kid Presentable]

Tzar wouldn't want you to feel that way. He's probably walkning through the drive-through at KFC, going "brrrrrrrrmmmmmmm brrrrrmmmmm brrrrrrrrrmrmmmm" and changing imaginary gears. Jesus, I hope he doesn't try to put the top up.

[Kid Presentable]

happy anniversary to you and your girl, btw.

what sorts of presents are being exchanged to honour the occasion?
Thanks Undies.

Ummm. We bought a roast chicken for lunch?

[hellojello]

yeah happy aniversary too!

Hold your legs stretched, shoulders back and hips slightly forward. Begin to urinate.

[hellojello]

Avoid those impossible acrobatic positions when you don't want to sit on the toilet seat in a public toilet. With the URINELLE you just stand in front of the toilet!

well thank god for that

[mikizee]

yep, its the race that stops a nation.

as opposed to germany, which was a nation that stopped a race.

Ladies and gentlemen, mikizee.

[hitmonlee]

hehe, what is it with Perth people and their hate for all things spring carnival, eh?

don't knock it till you try it :p

it's the one time of the year i can put a hat on in public without feeling like a dweeb, and can look down my drunken nose at 16 yo wannabes passing out in the gardens from *gasp* three glasses of champagne.

and the toilets flush in such an interesting way! worth the ticket price on its own, i reckon :p

eh.. my friends love it

LETS WEAR DRESSES AND HIGH HEELS AND STUPID THINGS ON OUR HEADS AND GO AND WATCH IT ON A TV SCREEN AT A RACETRACK

eeeeuuughhh

no thank you


i just don't see the attraction in being interested in horse racing for one single day for 3 minutes.

[hellojello]

ha ha classic.
No I don't find ethnic cleansing funny. I'm part Jewish you know.

[mikizee]

im part german, part polish, part jewish!

im trying to make some sort of joke about that but i gots nuttin!!

[Kid Presentable]

ahahaha, "be aware that the tube will feel warm"

although...
it took me 20 minutes to actually flush the toilet on Oaks Day last year.
it had a pedal on the side you had to press down, like a car accelerator.
try doing that in high heels after 3 bottles of champagne...it's harder than it looks.


kiddo - tzar is a cutie :p and now i want KFC. how long have you and your girl been an item?
5 years. We're getting sewn together this Sunday. (y)

[hellojello]

5 years. We're getting sewn together this Sunday. (y)
Man this Sunday?
wooooohweeeeeee
how come I never got an invite
you sux.
I hope you celebrate your wedding anniversary. My ex and I both forgot our 4th year anniversary. I think that was the beginning of our demise, (not really) though we did break up 5 months later to the day now that I think about it.
I'm so glad he forgot that time (probably a year before we broke up) when we were both hell wasted and I said we should get married so I could get his British passport but we should not tell his parents because that would just be so funny to have them think we were living our entire lives in sin. He agreed at the time. The next day I regretted saying it. And he never mentioned it - he passed out not long after that point in the convo.
eh, life goes on.

[mikizee]

At least you have your looks to fall back on.

Much like myself.

I'll never forget last year when my stupid cousin decided to have his wedding on new years day. new years day for fucksake!!!! how ruuuuuuude!

God I felt rotten that day!

[Kid Presentable]

that's awesome. awesome to the max :)
seriously, it's a beautiful thing. you excited? nervous? scared?

oh, and how long did you endure the "when are you two getting married" thing for? i get it all the time.
Pretty excited. Got exams tomorrow and the next two days, though.

We got the question once from a friend of ours in the U.K, and figured she had a point.

Maybe it was so he'd never have to endure the pain and suffering most men have to go through when the forget such an important date.
That could be the only blow job of the year u know!
(well if what they say about married couples is true)

[mikizee]

if you were talking about my looks, then you probably don't have much at all to fall back on.

i mean, if you're the male equivalent of me.

i'm not calling you ugly. y'know.

you said im ugly!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


*runs to bedroom, slams door, plays 'your beautiful' by christina aguliera really loud while scoffing down tim tams and sobbing into biscuit packet*

we're all our own worst critics!
Atleat u have a bf.

[mikizee]

HA. actually everyone always says i have boyish good looks. old ladies are always hitting on me. infact when i worked in a bar in glenelg some old rich lady socialite offered me $2000 a week to be her 'boy'.

i turned her down. i dont even wanna think about what that meant.

[Gareth]

relationships and looks?

oh PFFT! i'm not a fan of melbourne cup day. most over-hyped shit ever. like you know, i worked on tues (it's usually my day off) and a chick from work asked! if i wanted to come out with her and drink... but we both ended up working till late.

great story... and it's a day late.
