Hey Seedsy… i’ll hold off on my 1st Official Aussie Burger til we gain more consensus… tho i think i have enough for a fine Rough Draft.Mmm. burgers.
In trance and now quickly outta trance.
I never heard the “shit on toast” but woulda liked it, for sure.
My dad had a weird thing where he would mimic some radio show i have purposely not discovered.
When puttin us to bed (me and and older and a younger sister), he would suddenly say….
“SLOWLY! I turn… step by step… inch by inch…. and…. then! …”
and he would smother whichever child he was creepin on with hugs and kisses.
It was scary but fun and, i mean, it was DAD, and ya wanted to be the one gettin creeped on….
I knew I’d heard that somewhere before . Go to 97second mark
OMG Supa! That is where it came from!! I never knew.
My mom didn't like my Dad lettin us watch the Stooges with him. She thought it would teach us to hit. He'd let us anyways.

The story has history going back to Stooges , Abbot & Costello , Lucille Ball made ii famous . comic Joey Faye claimed authorship of "Slowly I Turned" in its many formats.https://niagarafallsreporter.com/slowly.html
yaffle daffle, @Jelly just posted this legend.. guy takes a bite, then adds smoked paprika, then analyses the new effect.. serious sandwicher.
(my only sandwich news is I had a cracker celebratory ham/ch/tom toastie at a regional airport upon finding my car key, and I just got back from doing the shopping an hour ago, cracked out fresh white bread slices, a packed of processed turkey, some cold brie, cranberry, and blanched some baby asparagus. Happy Crissy preparations y'all.)
again with the sandwich bashing, @syp??! I get that you think belligerent prattle is good sport when you can be the piggy in the middle of a partisan punch-up, but it doesn't seem to be fun for the people who allow this space to exist within their workspace. A bunch of us have piped up / changed our ways since @thermal's 'timely reminder..' after the Great Easter Break Conflict of 2020, and prior to xmas 2023 things had gotten gross again, thus this breaking-of-bread thread.. if you don't like it, maybe start a 'Harbintang-er Of Doomscrolling' thread for special people who want to replicated the mindnumbing greater-online word here, haha..
Warning though: here's some C19th cautionary advise for those who spend large amounts of time in the 'Orient', cited and quoted in Don Dunstan's Cookbook (1976):
"Beware the ill-advised abandonment of bread for rice, for it dulls the mind and weakens the constitution. A man requires the robust sustenance of leavened grain, such as wheat and rye, to maintain intellectual sharpness. To substitute such wholesome food and vital nourishment with a diet of boiled chicken, flaccid greens and plain rice is to invite mental fog and a sluggish spirit. Continuing for any length of time such a breadless and meatless diet inevitably leads to a decline in cognitive function and a general mental enfeeblement."
Get a sanger up ya!
I like a chicken samdwich, ayam bakar on lame indo bread, just to keep my brain don dunstan like sharp...
occasional chip butty too
or just generous lashings of overpriced, tariff taxed, cold and fresh from the fridge, imported butter, on super soft, preservative infused indo bread
mmmm... quite the treat actually...
happy now?
enough with blandwiches, what's the drama commenting on political threads, when there are political threads running?
I'm not starting them btw
keeping it civil ain't my problem... literally never even had a warning...
so if you are worried about the 'work space', you might be talking to the wrong guy...
once again, good for you, if you desire an agreeable echo chamber... but it gets a bit boring...
swellnet used to be a wild and raucous ride, every time you drop in for a read, it took you somewhere... edgy, informative and educative too!
now its a bit middle road and mainstream, thats not a criticism, just an observation, and probably indicative of the sites success that they needed to tone it down a bit...
so good for them, its their baby
success is good
I still don't get why you guys care so much about what some random dude is commenting on on the Internet
does it irritate your inner shakra or something?
to me, just confirms... well... a lot...
maybe I'm just pining for an old non glossy tracks mag...
my how things have changed
my how surfing and surfers have changed...
Sometimes a tangential chat livens, lightens, (or distracts from) the discussion.
It’s got nothing to do with an echo chamber but I’m positive your X socials are that.
Humanises participants.
I am robot Syppy. I am non partisan. I appear to be mental about my disappointment with the left.
yep - all the old posturing and cross-eyed ganja hysteria seems to have faded somewhat from this surf caper that requires insatiable stamina and life balance to stay in the game. remember when we were bullet-proof and full of argy-bargy and thought 30 was old? ahh, the heady days of newspaper Tracks.. you pining for 2015 'ooh, isn't the internet fun at 9pm?' life-distraction and online-fireworks reflects on you old mate..
(chip butty! so many subtle ways to tweak it..
the working man's cucumber sandwich = A+)
I read back through the sangas thread before. Bloody brilliant engagement from all. Fun stuff.
what's been happening to @Supa's imgbbs?
his photos and stuff seem fine, older photos too,
but his internet grabbed pics have become blue squares?
He’s been blue squaring me for months.
Then Blackers started recently. I don’t know but maybe file size. But I know nussing which will be proved right.
@Supa's photos were loading very, very slow for me over the last two weeks, was going to mention it, cos I thought it might be the file size, but then was loading just as slow with internet memes.. then the last week, blue squares, "That page doesn't exist - The requested page was not found" when you click on the blue square.
maybe go less specific, if there's not a willing and available 'end'?

It was irreverent, frisky, funny as, and had a 'fight club' feel to it. I used to try to post up the most wtf links I could find. The sense of humour has changed and the whole society is a bit more treading on eggshells these days; the veneer of society had a strip taken off it with the way covid played out. On top of that, everything written then has been used to train AIs and this takes some of the shine off posting your heart's content, makes you more guarded.
Something from the golden age, on the topic of training AIs and people mischievously trying to find somewhere the program will break
And no, that stuff can't happen in 2025, can it?
It was the old let’s dress up that mutton(no offense) for a horse race. I didn’t look any better.

intensely over-voluminous and over-seasoned..

maybe I was using them wrong..
Cheers @b6.

Married for 30 years to a woman with Coeliac Disease (autoimmune disease), genetically predisposed , know all about GF intolerance. Substituting the protein Gluten with others became the norm. Managed fine. AW
Yeah yeah @b6.

Cabbing it down from da hills with a coupla mates and meeting my bro there.
Not workin the day after.
Yeah yeah @AW.
We manage fine.
Can be a bit hard on my girl(11) having to take her own cake to others bday parties.
Eating when out and about can be a bit of a pain. Don't forget you lunch box.
Always gotta be prepped.
Cheers ME
I hadn’t noticed this thread before. Maybe everyone knows this, but..
On Warren Zevon's last David Letterman Show appearance, Letterman asked Zevon if he had learned anything about matters of life and death from Zevon’s terminal cancer diagnosis. Zevon said he'd learned "How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich."
an innocuous thread for those that want to partake in 'a piece', as the sanga is called in Scotland. Surely, no biffo about this underrated between meal snack?
'Bread and water can easily be toast and tea' - true wisdom. But HOW GOOD is a good sandwich? And how cool is the guy that whips out a sandwich for smoko, chewing with disinterest, while a colleague microwaves last night's korma?
