Vegemite is a delicious spread made from yeast extract (the stuff that's left over after you've made the beer). It has incredible curative properties, not least of which is that, spread over a couple of pieces of toast, it significantly diminishes (though, alas, does not completely eliminate) a hangover. Strangely, however, the marketing usually shows it being eaten for breakfast by children. It looks like this: It used to be sold in Australia with a snappy jingle that went thus: We're happy little Vegemites As bright as bright can be We all enjoy our Vegemite For breakfast, lunch and tea. Our Mummies say we're growing stronger Ev'ry single week Because we love our Vegemite We all adore our Vegemite It puts a rose in ev'ry cheeeeeeeeeek! And its official website (dammit, it's now owned by those fucking American pricks, Kraft) is here.
You really need to try it to understand it. It's rather an acquired taste. If any of you dare PM me a postal address, I'll send you some.
Vegemite is absolutly delish. Try it on bread and like peanut butter don't be afraid to put it on nice and thick. I find that it's something all should try. And by all means Phat do let us know what you think.
OK, it's 5pm Friday here again (suck shit you time-zone deficient fuckers). This weekend I'm heading down to Gerringong to celebrate a mate's 30-somethingth birthday. No doubt we will be thoroughly wasted by this time tomorrow. Full report Monday. Stay well.
I have a big weekend planned as well. I plan to watch Alabama lose to Arkansas, then I am going to smash my finger with a hammer to get my mind off the loss.
Train down. Got drunk. Smoked too much weed and passed out on a sofa. Woke up feeling better than everyone else. Made breakfast. Drove home in a mate's van.
old thread resurrection. This weekend, I'm taking the fam to Stone Mountain and Six Flags, GA. Yes, I'll be treading in phatboy-country. Don't worry phats, I'll leave long before your property values begin to plummet.
Enjoy Stone Mountain. Especially the Antebellum Plantation. The paddle boat is a little smelly, dont twist your ankle on top of the rock. I will not go to six flags again, since going to the parks in Orlando and even Carowinds, the last thing I want to do is go to smelly old six flags...but have fun....LOL... If you got the green stay at the "W" in Atlanta. They have some nice rooms. Enjoy yourself this weekend while I am working on the yard/on my Hondas/and on teaching my son the attitude needed to play linebacker.
I'm going to watch my storm door get installed, clean out the hamster cage, take my area rug to the car wash to get rid of the piss that my dickhead dog shot on it last night, look for a cheap second vehicle (a truck) buy a fucking gay gazelle and look for a new dining room set. I am also going to give a bunch of shit away and hopefully catch a buzz. I hardly ever get buzzed anymore and I miss it. And when I say gay I MEAN gay:
Back from phatboy-land. Stone Mountain is pretty cool. There are more attractions than what's seen here but here are 2 pics. This is the mountain with the carvings of 3 Confederate Generals on it (Jackson, Davis, and Lee - I don't know the order.) Here is the carving up close. To give you an idea of the scale, there is a zit on the back of the middle guy's neck roughly the size of a VW Beetle.
Not certain but it looks like you got the order right. The left looks like Jackson and the right like Lee. I cannot picture Davis though. I thought Stone Mountain was pretty cool it’s so weird when you drive miles through relatively flat pinelands and bam here is this big ass rock.
