Live music, tattoos, acts of revenge, piercings, unusual people, motorcycles (the old loud greasy stuff), early 50's style hotrods and sleds, throwing sausages up hallways, pulling engines apart and not putting them back together, drinking rum and dancing crazy, pissing in the airvents of tourists' cars at the beach, bunyips, yowies, trolls, classic cheesecake pinups, starting things I know I'll never finish, spending money on out of date food and things I know I don't like, letting down people's tyres when they take my parking space at the supermarket, low brow and bondage related art, Coop, Helmut Newton, Stanton, Ashleigh Talbot, tikis with curses on them, hibiscus cuttings that will never grow, girls I'll never love, pulp art, maintaining the rage, looking for Henry's anger, missing opportunities, running naked through the streets screaming.
I'd like to meet:
Hey Kids!Are you so cool that you've stopped trying?Don't fit the mainstream's jello mould but you know you're a person no less, right?Got some fire left in the ol' belly?Not afraid of motorcycles, art, ropes or Frank Zappa?GRRRLS, need a shoulder to cry on? (oops, mind those studs)Fellas, planning a coup d'etat, or maybe just mass political disobedience, and need a sounding board?Well, I'm here for you!Over a few quiet beers and then several fairly noisy bourbons and a couple of dangerously loud rum and cokes, we can put the world to rights.My specialties include consoling distraught damsels; offending the inoffensive;
starting bar fights and then ducking out to the next pub; damaging hatchbacks with Playboy Bunny airfresheners hanging from the mirror; and explaining to angry Tongans that it must have been those guys over there in the rugby jerseys.Aw come on! What do you think I'm here for? Your entertainment? My health? You're not wasting my time are you? Sometimes I could just scream in here. Leave the lights on! Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you! Like if I had any friends at all I'd be spending my nights bug-eyed, staring, trawling the web for who knows what strange harvest?
