I've always wondered, and still to this day trying to think the meaning behind @FlogDee name.

    The infinity of the internet never ceases to gobsmack me - a search for 'pistachio mondegreen' delivered me instant confirmation of your guess, @WalkingCivilWar. And guess further what! The site was called 'amIright'! (#WCWcatchphrases)

    A little off-topic I know, but since when has that ever stopped me, amirite?! 

    One day I got to thinking about how if someone dies suddenly their online contacts may never know. To this end I had a convo with my middle son. I said, “if I was to die suddenly, don’t worry about FB, nor Insta, nor any of the band forums I’ve ever been on, there’s just one thing I want you to do online. I want you to tell my friends on Demonland that I’m dead. You don’t have to create an account, just log in under my account and let them know.”

     

    AF recently joked about someone having a username or comment that sounded like one of his bad passwords. A bit of effort and I could probably crack half the people on here, this thread potentially one of the biggest contributors.

    Why did Coldplay win the war when Augie March and Mercury Rev were doing the same thing at the same time but better?

    I think you've identified the right song, but the mistaken lyric is more likely to be "... you make a grown man cry".

    Lol: Mercury Rev 'Holes' with balloons floating down the street. I'll never understand why TV companies advertise their wares by showing how great it looks on their old stuff. Why not keep their old stuff? Balloons. Paolo Nutini. Done.

    I always read @WalkingCivilWar as a reference to themselves being extremely uncoordinated, clumsy or injury prone. No offence 😅

    I always assumed it was an unhealthy dose of cognitive dissonance.

    Right?! It’s a crying shame. 😡

    But to answer your question… because people are spoon-fed their music. It’s either golden oldies (classic rock) or the [censored] they dish up on nova or whatever banal FM station that happens to be on. Things weren’t so bad before Triple J went the way of every other rubbish radio station. 
    Mercury Rev and Augie March so deserve the plaudits.

    How does “pistachio” sound like “you make a grown man cry”??? 
     

    @skortcan you please adjudicate?

    WCW wins. But she knows I don't listen to lyrics and have hearing problems, so it's a slight draw.

    "Pistachio ice cream" sounds very much like "you make a grown man cry" to my ears.

    You couldn’t just let me win this one?! And against @Demonstone??? Do you know how much I (or anyone for that matter) dream about beating him? In anything?????? 
    Beware Skort: I have a killer memory.

    WCW wins by a mile. Demon's tone can't even get his apostrophes correct.

    He said, “so, to be clear… if you die you want me to log into your fan forum, as you, to tell them you’re dead. Okaaay” 😳

    So I said “ok then, create your own account for the purpose. You could call yourself SOWCW as in Son Of WCW.” He said, “nah, I’d be Walking Civil Unrest, and he (points to his younger brother) can be Walking Minor Spat.”  😂

    Yep, we put the FUN in dysFUNctional!

    I’ve thought about that a lot over the years too. I’ve been on Demonland for a really long time, but the only members I’ve ever personally spoken to are Andy and WJ, @Grapeviney, @Jaded No More, @old55 and @Slartibartfast, and all only fairly anecdotally, and a really long time ago in the case of the latter three. Nevertheless many of the usernames here feel familiar to me and I feel like I know the personality attached, even if it’s a mostly imagined one based on what they write. It’s a community here. We all know each other, even if it’s a very curated version of ourselves. Every now and again I’ll see an old thread where a name I haven’t seen in ages comes up, and I see they haven’t visited in years and I wonder what happened?

    Occasionally I also morbidly wonder if anyone on Demonland would know or care if I did die. Given I have no personal connection to anyone on here the news may never filter through. How depressing!

    I always read @goodwindees as Goodwin Dees up until about a week ago. Guessing it’s a little play on words or nothing to do with Simon at all now. 

    Remains unsolved?

    I believe they are different people. This BBB was previously “Sylvia Saint” and then “No Plan B”.

    Question: when I click on people’s profile, there’s a little circular arrow that shows their name history. Does everyone see that, or do I only see that as admin? I used to have a non-admin account to check this stuff, but haven’t used it in too many years now.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
