Phish sucks.
There will soon be a time when we fail to remember how life was before Coronavirus moved into our world and refused to check out. There will be whispers of days long ago when human beings attended concerts, sporting events, went to museums, bettered ourselves with each other.
Kissed sometimes too.
Stood on grassy knolls in North Bondi listening to hippie music and gently swaying without getting shamed across social media for so doing.
Well, current restrictions in New South Wales prohibit human gatherings of more than 30 people but more than 30 people stood on a grassy knoll in North Bondi listening to hippie music and gently swaying though they got shamed across social media and now the police are looking into the incident.
According to its Facebook page, “The group typically gather every Sunday afternoon and aim to ‘reconnect people through dance and live music.'”
Not chill and thankfully many were ready to point fingers. Oxana Alexandra, posted the picture and captioned it “corona central” adding, “Come on Sydney get it together we don’t want another lockdown.” for good measure.
Others decried the lack of masks and distancing.
I would imagine the lineup was also very full that day seeing Australia is in the midst of glorious summer and Bondi is Bondi.
I used to enjoy going to the McDonald’s, post-Bondi surfs, and ordering the Big Kahuna burger, which is not available in America.
It came with pineapple.
Delicious.

tribal genocide and cannibalism , who , colonialists?
Newt started with identity politics, win at all costs and no compromise when he became SOH back in the 90’s. He laid this very foundation. Shit – he’ll tell ya as much.
As for the rest – yes, 100%. The party of D left behind he working man. I have roots in the rust belt – I come from a line of steel mill workers. You were born there with a D card in your hand. But you are 100% correct, they felt left behind and many became trump voters.
A nation of cops and dobbers.
I preferred the McOz.
Newt Gingrich is the one who started this identity politics back in the late 90’s. Rush was his mouthpiece.
Because the hospitals are jam packed due to Covid, a family member just diagnosed with terminal cancer is struggling to get treatment. He needed an overnight stay, but no go because no beds. This is exactly what I said would happen. Humans these days, on average, are mentally weak.
My mum is in hospital for a couple of days with nodes on the lungs. You know, one of the long term effects of the virus. Luckily for us the health system is not over whelmed and it’s all good. Hope your fam is good.
That sucks. Yeah, the many people I know in healthcare are exhausted. Our local house representative got it and he went for routine lung x-ray and they decided to hold him – scared the shit out of him. He produced vids of his experience which I think helped show that this shit is not a hoax (yes many around me believe that – welcome to dotardlandia). They are seeing significant lung damage in asymptomatic people too.
It’s a tough go for them – this happened very rapidly – terminal colorectal cancer at 49. It is so bad that when they went in they could not tell what was tumor and what was organ. The recommendation now is to get checked 45 and up. Diagnosed back in Nov, 12 mos left is the optimistic end.
Hope mum gets better. It’s like Russian roulette with a virus, ya never know what it’s going to do – maybe nothing, maybe years of health complications.
Man, that’s heavy. There’s no words for that stuff.
Mum is good. Kind of happy to be in a place where she gets looked after for a while and Dad gets a break from looking after her too. We had the big talk, just in case, and we were able to say the things we needed to. She has been an over achiever, and effected positive change around her for many people both directly and indirectly. A good and worthwhile life. Not to mention Citizen of the Year in Gympie even!
Yeah, we’ll get past it. What is to be must be.
Great to hear about your mum. Hoping things go well as can be. Sounds like you all handled a difficult situation as well as can be.
On the positive side these tough situations can lead to growth both in relationships and personal growth. Just have to remind ourselves (me especially) to keep pushing.
I can confirm that the lineup was surprisingly uncrowded by recent Bondi standards that particular afternoon. The surf, however, was as straight as usual but you could hear the bongos and festivity in the lineup
And I’ll happily make you feel good while I fucking rape you.
Interesting take. The right wing of the Labor party here in Aus (like our Democrats) is currently mounting an internal push along similar lines, in regards to climate change and emissions policy. Saying we’re selling out the base in pursuit of the elitist inner city / yoof boat.
I wrote it off initially but watching the fault lines erruptkng in the US you never know
Yep. Anyone becomes too successful and watch out! The Bazza’s, Dazza’s and Shazza’s are coming for ya.
I’d give ya a half arsed upvote, if I could.
It would match your half arsed reply.
“Phish sucks.” May be the truest thing you’ve ever published, Chas.
Primus sucks
Never heard one of their songs.
I’m just gonna put it out there.. Prog Rock sux in general.
Look, I’m not typically a snitch, but I’d Karen the shit outta this.
I wanna know what Dez wore to the party…?
Something like this. Practicing for the BG White party, date TBA.

Sorry Chas its been a long time since the Kahuna – there is a very powerful lobby group who believe that pineapple should not be added to burgers or for that matter pizzas!
In a shocking development, Big Pineapple takes down the Big Kahuna burger.
That burger does sound delicious. I wonder what kind of sauce it had. Anything special? Or just traditional ketchup and mustard?
Looks close to Wollongong. I guess you need hurricanes in the summer for waves.
Shame on them !
For being hippies.
I was assured by Mikela Greene in her IG stories that my attempt at “shaming” her was unnecessary because WA has vanquished COVID.
No shit…a friend of hers (probably that traitor, Derek!) screen capped my comment in here and sent it to her which she then posted.
Why hasn’t NSW vanquished COVID the way WA has?
Maybe a Greene sister can show them the way.
She is just another arse flossing retard on Instagram mate. There are way hotter ones just delete her and move on.
Yes, but at my age you revel in any and all arse flossing,
Shall I send you my OnlyFans address?
The better question is…why haven’t you sent it to me already?
Looks like a Biden celebration in Golden Gate Park.
And looks like Trumpers having a cult gathering in the Castro district. There would just many more Gavin McInnes type haircuts around.
Nah…no lifted pickup trucks in that picture.
Your wife must be Republican. That would explain your unhinged anger and why you wear the skirts in your family.
And your wife must be…….
A Proud Boy.
It’s okay bro. It’s 2021.
Always classic when you hit Otto’s soft spots. I didn’t know he was so offended by mention Gavin McInnes haircuts though. We will note that for future use.
Q: What do you have when 32 Trumpers have a party?
A: A full set of teeth.
How can you tell a trumper invented the tooth brush? Because if they hadn’t, it would be called a teeth brush.
