"King Crimson!" - Conan O'Brien

An interviewer said to Gordon Brown that people suggest he is a loser. He replied "I think you'll find if you look back that I win a lot of the time."

A newsreader, after describing an electroshock therapy story as "shocking news", relayed the statistic that 1/10 electroshock sessions is authorised, or approved, or something like that. He decided to contribute "That means 9/10 aren't!"

"You go brain dead when you shoot yourself in the foot" - Tigers coach Tim Sheens on why he's a footballer and not a medical practitioner

In the same game, an AFLer kicked an own goal, and tried to join an onfield fight, except his swing completely missed contact with anything.

"Coach Paul Roos couldn't even look at him as he left the field," followed by a shot of him watching the player walk past.

Jimmh's event-based gathering to celebrate 19 years of continual existence occurred last Saturday. Trivial Pursuit was played (both Star Wars type and regular wars); a question was read out that resembled severely a question we got in Bar Trivia the last Wednesday we'd turned up. Cries of "Boo", "laptop" and "Lando Calrissian" rang out through the night.

I also answered a question about an Australian actor with "Bryan Brown", in a Peter Moon-style ponce accent because I didn't know the actual answer.

Sam and Merry were there! Joe and I had a lively discourse about The Office, and why Blondie's "Atomic" kept reminding him of Heart's "Barracudda". Also, his brother may have heard of Robert Fripp, which is the second greatest King Crimson-related discovery this week after witnessing their performance on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN.

Scott and Tim rocked out on Guitar Hero to Freebird. It blew my mind.

Sam said he was going to bring a present back from Europe; I asked if he could get me something that was cheap, for like 50 cents. He replied "Yeah, I'll get thousands of euro dollars." Currency convertion jokes for the win.

I can now add Hosford's brother Hosford to the list of people I have made laugh their drink right out their mouths (the other entries are Sam, Hosford and Spinks). Later on he bought a set of matchbox cars of GM models, so you know what that means. GM finally sold something!

I also took a detour to kick a tree.

Wow you kicked a tree, that's fucked man.

"In the same game, an AFLer kicked an own goal, and tried to join an onfield fight, except his swing completely missed contact with anything."

I'd insult you but it's the crap sport people with dick's shouldn't know about which you've shown you don't know anything about.

That's tits.

That's totally whack and illin'

Screw you I was drumming Freebird amazingly.

JOE KNEW BETTER IN THE DARK HOLY SCHNITZELCOCK.

Ahah.

Aaaahah.

Schnitzelcock had the spelling red line below it. I clicked on it and it gave me the option of 'schnitzel wiener.'

That's amazing.

Yeah but it wasn't connected was it? Where's your scorecard? "I bowled a 300...on a video game...that wasn't connected..."

At least you didn't shout "Freebird!" at an inopportune time.
