image quality too bad...

Looks like a species of sphinx moth.  Cannot determine specific one.

They tend toward being quite enormous.

Just happened to walk past a Bandidos clubhouse. :o
Sounded like it was going off inside, actually some pretty decent tunes.

What's the name of the book out of curiosity? It seems quite interesting.
Like said, don't remember. I might be able to find out tomorrow but i wouldn't bank on it. "Inventoried" in this case means noted in a spreadsheet and then stuck back in the storage closet, there's not much or any commentary on individual book content.

Still... pretty sure the author's last name started with an S? Used first/middle/last, so three names total. Might have been jewish, too, and they definitely wrote other books/were decently well known. You might manage to find something if you look for popular jewish fiction authors from like the 50s, 60s.

I like how the top ends of the wings are supposed to look like snakes.

...But actually manages to look more like angry fish. Did they evolve to trick other animals into thinking they are Carp? The world imitates DF again...

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

My house guest, who's staying over until he can find a place of his own, decided that today was a good day to bring over one of his buddies uninvited, without asking me or giving me any notice.

As someone who values the privacy of one's own home, WTF?! And rude!

Were you kidnapped while asleep or something? How is your current location a surprise? :P

Laverton is known for being a culturally diverse suburb that is becoming increasingly attractive to young working families that appreciate the generous land sizes, low property prices and access to many forms of public transport and freeways.

Wow, the selling points are big blocks of suburban land, nearby train stations and freeway access. Sounds like there's fuck-all to do if you are a kid growing up in Laverton.

One does not simply walk into Laverton...

Unless one is Yoink.

I recently found out the place in Australia one of my brother's friends moved to is called Orange, got to make an actual honest to god "orange ya glad" pun in real life.

Now why anyone would name a place Orange is beyond me. Yes, that goes for you too, Provence. Don't think I haven't noticed you.

We have a town called "Tuņame" here, which if you say it slowly as "Tu ņame" is slang for "Your cock". Being named after a fruit/color seems rather harmless.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Pretty sure I caught the train, actually. Goodness knows what I was thinking.
At least the overall experience wasn't too unpleasant, considering what a... place Laverton turned out to be.   


Also! I just remembered what I decided this morning, as I made my very-faded way back towards the city and civilization!
Laverton is henceforth known as Lavender Town. Any Melbourne forumites, feel free to do everything in your power to spread this around.
