I dreamed someone on twoism blamed me for hacking into their dropbox. I should really visit some other websites some time.

I just had the weirdest dream last night, someone hacked my dropbox. Jokes on them, there was only granny midget porn in there.
When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare in the sun

So how's that multi-cultural society progressing? I think it's great. I mean, every two months you have to wipe people's brain matter from your face, but the exotic dishes they bring to our countries are so worth it.

I guess I've been watching too much main stream media...

Yeah, because nobody killed anybody before 'they' were accepted into 'our' society. Seems to me that in all likelihood the post above is exactly the attitude the dick with the bomb wanted to achieve. Well done.

What are your views on Irish people living in England?

Do we really need to explain, here of all places, that even though the first some people have given a shit about people of another religion is when they were exposed to a handful of unhinged terrorists carrying out political carnage in its name, we've had generations, literally decades of peaceful coexistence in this country? I've not seen one single person come out and say anything remotely like "well, I guess we can't beat ISIS, lets give them what they want" and yet, by ill-informed knee-jerking fuckhattery you get twats coming out of the woodwork to take the needless death of children and make a snarky comment about "hurr how's that multiculturalism working out for you" and doing exactly what the fuckers that did this want us to do.

Here's a thing: if you're just a spectator to this horror show, how about you keep your shitty politics and your tinfoil hat wearing "can't trust the mainstream media" off-meds woo and stick it up your ignorant arse while people heal?

Well said.
To quote David Squires yesterday:

'The reaction to Monday's atrocity is typical of the city: an outpouring of love and support. Offers of free taxi rides and beds for the night, an oversupply of people wanting to donate blood, and enough cups of tea to fill Old Trafford.

This is the stuff that baffles and scares those big brave lads who see children carrying pink balloons as a legitimate target for their fucked up cause.

It also defies those who see the attack as an opportunity to divide society via the effluent pipe of their Twitter account. Manchester knows what you can do with your nihilistic arseholery.'

So I was up ~100 hours, the first three days worth working, the remainder because I was too exhausted to sleep (a feeling I'm sure some of you understand if you deal with stress/anxiety on a regular basis) and eventually slept for about 12 hours and then after working for a few hours and a trip to the UPS store slept another 19 or so (which is too long, I don't care how long I'm up).

I had some of the funniest dreams I've ever had. The whole thing was some kind of sketch comedy but I really only remember one well, where people were going crazy because SpaceX astronauts from around the the world were attempting to land a little box of some kind on the surface of the Earth from space (documentary style, 'inspirational music', black and white photos and everything)...celeb figures and politicians and all these people had gathered to watch it with people talking about how they'd "landed any object this close to the ground before".

I'm pretty sure Bob Odenkirk played one of the main astronauts and the other I have no idea. Anyways, they did it and everyone went crazy. They even spent fuel firing it from space to the Earth despite the fact this is totally unnecessary thanks to mathematics. Then afterwards it was revealed in poorly put together celebratory photos that it was entirely faked (you can even see the fake crowd in a photo done up Lucasian style where there's only like 50 people in total but they're looped to appear as a few thousand, and just a shitty trailer behind it, there's just like 13 people in total with The Gallagher brothers and Ron Jeremy being their big celebrities. Pan out to a hoax site while the 'thanks to everyone who helped this glorious achievement music"/montage plays to an instructor saying "so you see, we never did land on the Earth. The Russians couldn't even do it and they still have a space programme."

There was more that made it funnier but the idea is so absurd that I could still make a good sketch from it. If I could remember all the details leading up to it, it'd probably be the funniest thing you'd read all day. Seriously, I woke up laughing.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

So I really want to share with you all the fact that just yesterday I bought a turntable and now I ordered MHTRTC and IABPOITC on Bleep. It's the first time I ever have a turntable and the fist time I bought a vinyl so I'm actually so excited I'm shitting myself :)

I actually laughed reading this. Absurd comedy is my favourite. I've woken up from dreams laughing before but only to realise that it's not funny in reality in the slightest. But this one you had seemed to stand the test of wakefulness quite well.

I have about 20 quid left over from my last trip to the UK that has no way of being converted where I live that I've settled upon getting rid of before the pound drops any lower.

Is there someone I can mail that to willing to funnel it into Twoism donation by conversion/by proxy (buy another OOT volume? idk) when it gets there after a couple weeks? Mex? AB? Redpoint? Anyone? Would be appreciated. Vballs, you could just have it if you want it, obvious reasons.

Hey, thanks man, although I guess it's not really my idea. :lol:

I come up with some good ones conscious but part of my brain is hiding genius tidbits for spec scripts and whatnot sometimes, I swear.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

I remember a comedy routine you improvised on the fly in your waking state, I can say it was at least as funny. Give your consciousness more credit, bud. :)

I think given vballs bad luck this week and his generous booking and paying for some rather expensive accommodation over the past two Twoism meets, I'd suggest he gets first shout on this. Generous offer Rod, well played chap.

haha, how much would it cost for you to like, post the coins to the UK anyway? can you do it cheap enough to make it worthwhile?

Yeah, of course, provided time isn't a concern. It'll take like 3 weeks at the very least to show up, but given the amount and the fact I can't do anything with it here, I figured I'd either donate it or buy a spare record or something via snail mail money order.

Hit me up with an address in a PM vballs, you'll get a little extra cash eventually. Not as much as deserved for your services to Twoism but at least my part/belated chipping in.

If not you then somebody who'll then donate to Robin, again. No need to spend more of your own money.

Enjoy mate, one of life's great pleasures is listening to your favourite band on wax. MHTRTC is particularly good! :-)
