^ Didn't they move it? I heard something on the radio once... it was the Mayor and he 'vowed' to make sure it was reassembled somewhere. I can't wait until the highway goes though, it's going to open up all those awesome places south of here I have never really explored :)
 
Last I heard they were sinking it off the coast to create an artificial reef, there was also a slight hope that a potential oil spills toxic ooze may waken the sleeping prawn to kill off poaching fisherman and scare Japanese tourists at the beach.






Where the Bloody Hell are ya?
 
A developer (Chris Condon I'm pretty sure) bought it with the intention of moving it to a massive petrol station along the bypass but apparently that's not going to happen anymore.

Anything he develops is pretty shite anyway; it's the Far North Coast, not the freakin Gold Coast :\

lNf - pretty sure I have a papier mache version of the prawn if you're still looking to get frisky?
 
^ the big prawn in yamba!?! I remember going there as a wee little teeny tiny belarki!

In other smily news, Soulfly fucking went off!!!!! *headbangs* Of course they played a fair few old Sepultura songs like Roots & I totally lost my shit when they smashed out Refust Resist! However Max Cavalera has definitely padded out a bit in his old age; he is one solid unit. They played a decent set; about an hour and a half. I missed the support acts City of Fire and Incite as I was off being an alcoholic though...

\m/

oooo burn lol

no, I was introduced to them back in the early 90's by a friend and we used to listen to them after raves :-) I don't mind them at all! (own two of their albums on cd somewhere lol)

I smiled today because I made friends with a random american kid on xbox live due to his nickname being an IT Crowd joke....... to top it off his clan tag was MOSS

After we became friends I checked out his profile and snorted my drink everywhere when this avatar popped up:

What a cool kid =D

Spewing! My partner is OBSESSED with the big prawn.... to the point she randomly said "lets go for a drive", which I assumed meant around here, maybe the coast... not 200km into the next state lol
 
This is pretty cool:

Mark Prindle said:
I'll admit that I didn't react to my recent marital separation with the courage and dignity one would expect from the world's most heroic record reviewer, Mark Prindle. However, I ask you to please recall that (a) it came as a complete surprise, and (b) it hurt like a filibuster. That is how I've chosen to preface the revealing paragraph you are about to enjoy.

I've had my run-ins with Henry Rollins over the years, even though he has no idea who I am and any sort of acknowledgement between us is entirely inside my head. The pinnacle of my achievement in temporarily annoying him occurred a couple of years back, when I foolishly emailed him a high school photo I'd found of him online, along with the note "How did THIS get online!?" His impatient response read something like "Mark, It's obviously a yearbook thing. I am famous, and people like you put things like this online. That's how it got there. Please, get out there and get something new going on. Thanks, Henry." I was so offended that I vowed I would never buy anything related to him again, but then I got over it like a week later.

But here's the important thing that ties the previous two paragraphs together, as well as making me feel obliged to respond whenever I see a Facebook comment like "Henry Rollins is an asshole" or "Henry Rollins is a nogoodnick." Facebook often makes these arguments; I don't know why the company hates him so much. But here's what happened:

One day in early June, my asshole boss was an even bigger asshole than usual, so I -- already under severe emotional strain due to my failing marriage -- quit on the spot and walked out at 11:25 in the morning. I then walked down to my estranged wife's workplace, where she informed me that our marriage was over and she was never coming home. In shock and seeing no future for myself (no wife, no job, no way to pay for an apartment, etc), I walked to the Empire State Building, bought a ticket to the Observation Deck, and was chagrined to discover that they'd made it completely impossible to jump off. I tried a few of the windows inside too, but they were sealed shut. Down but not out, I walked to the Chrysler Building, where I was informed that they don't have any sort of tours of that sort. So my next stop was Rockefeller Plaza, where I paid my admission to visit "Top Of The Rock" some very many floors above sea level. And AGAIN there was no way to safely jump off to my doom. There was one space between a fence and a wall where I could've squeezed through, but there was a landing about ten floors beneath it, meaning I'd have to jump, land and probably break my legs, and then jump again, which hardly seemed worth the effort. Eventually I gave up and went to hang out with Jim Laakso.

So then a few nights later, full of vodka and self-pity, I sent this email to Mr. Henry Rollins:

From: Mark Prindle
To: two1361
Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 2:33 AM
Subject: Henry

I know you hate me, and I'm very sad about that but I probably deserve it. I just wanted you to know that I'm getting my come-uppance. My wife recently left me after 15 years, and all I can think is "You didn't need to do that to me."

I tried to kill myself four days ago. Pretty wimpy. I know you'd never do that, but I felt my life was over.

Go ahead, make fun of me. I know it's fun for you.

Best,
Your fan,
Mark Prindle

When I awoke with a clearer head the next morning, I dreaded his mocking angry response. But instead, I found this in my inbox:

Mark, you can't kill yourself no matter how bad you feel. I know those kind of break ups make you feel that nothing is worth doing. It may feel like that for quite some time. You need to work against it to work past it. Perhaps you have a gym membership, you can use. A place to go and get the blood moving. Always good for the morale. That's a long time to be with someone. You probably feel like there was a death in the family or something. I know it's very hard but really, no suicide. There's a lot left to do. Hang in there. Henry

At first, I naturally assumed it was from Henry The Dog. But once I realized that Henry The Dog can't type, I knew that only one thing could be the case: Henry Rollins isn't an asshole at all. As he'd be the first to admit, he's not a people person, but when the stakes are down, the guy tries to help. How many other entertainers would bother to send a response like that to a troubled fan? So up your nose, Facebook.

Yeah, I love Black Flag but haven't really got into Rollins Band and don't really like his spoken word much. I've read one of his books but there was so much self indulgent whining in it.

If you're into heavy or punk music (or a bunch of other random stuff) read some reviews on that site. Prindle is fricking hilarious. My favourite music reviewer for sure.

Oh and that weight lifting thing is awesome. Pretty sure I've read it before.
