    Bernard Smith-Modernism's History.

    Propaganda.

    Hmmm.. Found this online, advice for presenting speeches about the 'War on Terror'. Its really quite disturbing ; Two extracts; Which is of course interesting in light of repeated denials of links being made between Iraq and Al Qaeda... This is actually an official document, composed...

    Deal or No Deal???

    Hmm.. My family loves this show. I maintain it would be more entertaining if actors playing the non-existent 'bankers' were shown in the bottom of the screen, cackling over the deals..Possibly while waving capes and twirling moustaches, in the best silent movie tradition.

    The Literary Acquisition Thread

    Bernard Smith-Modernism's History. (Interesting so far, and on a large discount. Even has bad art puns.. i.e. Praxis makes perfect :D) Roger Ebert-The Bigger Little Book of Hollywood Cliches (This is a birthday present for a relative, but still..Very funny.)

    Stupidest things fellow students have said

    I know, but was just pointing out that historical fact to add to it.

    Stupidest things fellow students have said

    I've heard that one too... 'Stupid wind, so windy.'

    Speaking of wankiness and Pitchfork, have you read their review of Kid A? I love the album, but the review is truly horrible.

    Wheel of Fortune

    He sure will, presumably with less hoo-hah.

    Stupidest things fellow students have said

    The funny thing is that cocaine actually was in Coca-Cola, until 1903.

    funny??

    Odd how those things happen. In one of my Early Medieval Europe lectures, an allegedly 'funny' story was told.. This consisting of Clovis (Frankish ruler c.481-511) regretting that none of his family members were alive...So that he could kill them again. Many people laughed. I stared at my...

    Is "Its All Relative" Still ON?!

    Not sure about that, but it was cancelled after a season. From the few minutes I saw, seemed rather unfunny.. Most jokes doing the old sledgehammer "They're gay! Get it!" and then expecting people other than the 'live studio audience' (or canned laughter) to find it humourous. :p

    Wheel of Fortune

    Spencer eventually triumphed with something like $11,000...And then won a telescope. Gratitous product placement then ensued, with people in Triple J shirts running en masse. Was entertaining enough. Commenced with mathematical terms, i.e. 'H for Hypotenuse', but that soon ceased..At least...

    Schools need Australian Flag to receive gov. funding.

    Alright everybody, keep it down in there ;) But seriously, this is already in multiple threads. *Repetitious*

    $600

    They don't give those discounts, but there are more (and better) bookstores than Dymocks and Angus & Robertson... Its also ceasing at all Co-Op stores and GleeBooks, among others.

    Particularly as she only wrote (or co-wrote) two Pixies songs, those being Gigantic and Silver. 10 other recommended Pixies songs; Letter To Memphis (My favourite song of theirs, yet one that isn't mentioned often. Should have been the closing track on Trompe Le Monde. Planet Of Sound...

    What Science Project Did You Do In Year 9?

    My Year 10 Science project was about salinization, or the like, and was almost entirely fabricated. Not sure of my mark though, but it was only Year 10...

    $600

    Not only at Dymocks... Its a general rebate that is being abolished, so life isn't all about election bribe payments. And my parents got $1200 for my two younger siblings.. I'm too old, I think. *waves cane*

    Stupidest things fellow students have said

    Health Teacher;Can anyone name a job beginning with H? [Various answers..] Student-Uh, a helicopter driver? True story. I think the best one I've heard at uni is a student in one of my tutorials rambling about two historical personalities who lived 400 years apart making agreements with...

    Exam Stress

    I'm in a similar position, trying to maintain a HD (for two subjects) and D average (For my other two units..) More anxious than stressed, I think.. Just a tad worried about it, but thats my approach for everything. :p

    Sadly, I doubt that MMM has played either of those great bands. They seem to have a playlist comprised of about 150 groups or thereabouts, but thats commercial radio for you. Some other good 'rock' songs that won't be heard on MMM. (And generally not on JJJ either) At The Drive-In-Arc...
