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.

@skort but Skuit had such a nice 'uiiiii' sound!

How did you hear that sound?

Best. Thread. Ever. Thanks, Skort. Still can’t say that name without LOL-ing 😁

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

I reckon mine’s closer! If y’ start me up… pistachio? 

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. 
Hashtag you’ve just hit a nerve Skortie

You assumed right, FD. It’s many, many things and not one of em’s good. 😜

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

@skortcan you please adjudicate?

Edited by WalkingCivilWar

I notice that none of the self-credentialed doctors on this site have responded (you're excused Gonzo, we all love you).

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.

A slight draw my a***.
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?

Oh I quite liked your user name having Bnag for the middle Bang!  It's a great user name regardless though

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
