This thread is here for you to post the weird and wonderful from the music world. I'll kick off with this bizarre little number from Laurie Anderson. When I was a kid I thought this was the coolest thing ever. e9k61dfq-oc

We probably have one buried somewhere but we need another. Why? Because when it's good it's brilliant. Because it's so unfairly maligned. Because there is SO much more to this genre than drinking, mama, trains, prisons and pick-up trucks. Also, I didn't want keep annoying people in the music...

So, I can take a months holiday anytime between November and March. I'm going stir crazy and have decided one thing, I'm headed to the USA and I'm doing it alone. I spent two months there two years ago but my friend was not overly adventurous and think I'll have a far better time solo. For...

We don't really have an all sports, from anywhere in the world, this is what happened today, thread. Now we do. A Paul Gallen punch, square on the chin inspired NSW to victory in the first of three State of Origin games. Nice slow mo at the 45 odd second mark...

Getting Americans to talk out of their asses is no great achievement I know, however it never gets stale for the rest of us. What I'm after are some genuinely intelligent justifications for maintaining the imperial system. Note....USA #1, We got the bombs and screw you convict do not fall...

So here's the deal. We're going to hold a most awesome CFC dinner party with all invited. But some are more invited than others. This OP is not meant to be definitive in any way and is just designed to get things started. The first step is to work out what roles need to be filled to make it...

Ok, so here's the challenge. I'm tearing my hair out due to my inability to post pictures on CFC. I appreciate the attempts by Camikaze and Formaldehyde to teach me but I simply can't do it. (you guys are welcome to enter of course) First person to come up with instructions that work gets a...

These threads seem de rigueur at the moment and I love a good bandwagon as much as the next person. Though I suspect a more accurate title for this thread will be "Take the piss out of an Australian". All of my fellow Australians are welcome to answer.

Self explanatory. I'll be joining my uncle, aunty and brother for lunch. Cold seafood and salads. Maybe some Lebanese stuff if my request has been met. Beer and champagne. Then off to my Uncle's ex-wife's daughters place for the arvo where there will heaps of kids around (what's Christmas...

Have you composed a CFC post that made you laugh out loud at it's sheer hilarity or made your heart tremble due to it's sheer poignancy and humanity? Consider JR a hack? Would W.C Fields have cited you as an inspiration? Does your ability to compress grand concepts into quotes warrant you...

We all spend enough time here mostly railing against and occasionally complimenting the actions of our elected/imposed upon public officials. But usually it's for banalities such as tax cuts/hikes, starting/ending wars or other such things often involving homosexuality or abortion. Inspired...

I've read a few times here where people have had cause to comment on me, of my alleged love of cars. Whilst flattered that some of you even profess to have an opinion about what I do and don't like, it's not really accurate. Sure I appreciate a nice car and I happen to sell them, but cars...

Ok, so it's my first attempt at an "Ask a" thread. I'm doing this because I think it will be pretty entertaining, pure and simple. The automotive trade, whether it be sales, service or finance is one surrounded by ridiculous myths, unfortunate truths and everything in between. I sure have seen...

I've just been watching a story on Australians who have declared bankruptcy , and the essence of the story was this has helped these people get back on their feet . The story used the phrase "People who have gone bankrupt through no fault of their own" Now I believe that to go bankrupt...

Now I love a good verbal steamrolling as much as the next person . But since frequenting this place I've found I've really been able to up the ante and find myself bringing much beloved terms from here into RL discussion . They are not terms exclusive to here , but they seem to hold a special...

No poll , no hypothetical , feel free to wax lyrical . I'm personally passionate about them (all creatures great and small) . Whether it be dog , cat , snake , spider , elephant I'm not fussed ( though if I had to pick a fave it would be dogs) . Being able to have a relationship with an...

Ok , so here we go again . With the All Stars game tonight seems a good time to start a new thread . 2012 appears to be the most open season in years . I think the favoured sides are around $8 with the bookmakers . As usual , expect dazzling skill , brutal defense , soap opera-like controversy...

Do you have any rules that you play by that restrict the huge amounts of options in the game ? Here are a few of mine...... I won't use spies to incite revolt in lieu of siege . iMHO it's just totally unrealistic and the AI never does it . I will play for a diplomatic victory but only...

Urgent , cause I can't go and resume till I figure this out . I have just vassaled Tokugawa and he looks like being quite useful . 6 or so cities . My score is 1300 to his 350 . Problem is the 2 cities I have taken I definitely want to liberate (other side of the continent , not much food)...

If you can wear it , listen to it , read it , watch it , feed it , insert it , eat it , drink it , kick it around , shoot it , need batteries you don't have or even intend to pawn it , we want to know .
