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

I'm way too easy. 

 

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?

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
