ALWAYS make sure that your balls are TIGHTLY SCREWED! Otherwise the counterpressure shoots your brains out either nostril!

As a member of a country at the bottom of the world that associates all things American with all things Cool, I can testify that it is true that we equate America with California. I prefer the New York attitude, but that's me. I keep telling my younger brother ( a Hip Hop addict ) that Tupac and Snoop are all good, but they don't really reflect America. But try getting a Hip Hop fan into Noam Chomsky!

Mate, it's always incredible to me how an activity as blatantly Manly as hunting and killing a pig attracts women. And men. And you're right, you become the center of attention! There's gotta be easier ways to hook up, though.

Sis, it's now four days after Christmas and the keg has been conquered, but not without casualties (cue mournful trumpet for fallen brothers!) We had a mosh pit - four of us going hard. Your christmas sounded pretty cool, too, sis! Tasteful in comparison! Rockettes have got nothing on hot goth chicks. It's like comparing Lady-freaking-Gaga to Alicia Keys; no contest! --Bro

Excuse me if this blog rambles. I'm mothered. Myself and a very good friend of mine decided to make this christmas a Heavy Metal Christmas (throw your horns up!!). We donned our favourite, mankiest metal t shirts, mine a tatty, holey Slayer jobbie, my friend's a Motorhead T shirt that is still resplendent with bloodstains from the last time Motorhead visited these shores. We dug out the doc martens and the chuck taylors. Only music of the metal ilk could grace our stereo; Slayer, Motorhead, Chimaira, Sepultura, Helmet, Sabbath. It has been a very beautiful thing. Heads were banged, people: Heads were banged. We bought ourselves a whole keg of Steinlager, a very potent local brew. It's been two days now since Christmas, and we're almost there. I can see three blurry keyboards in front of me as I write, and I'm quite proud of how many spelling mistakes I haven't made. Have a very, very Beery Pissedmas, and a happy New Year all of my friends at UNRV.

I agree with you there - early Carlos, not that Supernatural dribble.

Sir Paul makes me cringe full stop. Kewpie doll motherf***! And rock should never conform to grammar. It just wouldn't work. As for The Wall, isn't it just one big Roger Waters wank? That wouldn't have happened if Syd Barrett had stayed sane! I was always glad that Roger pissed off up his own fundamental orifice of a solo career and left David Gilmour to it (even though our Dave has been re-hashing the same song for the last 20 years!) Gilmour's guitar work is the shiznit, though. Icy tone, three note bends, makes your spine tingle. He and Carlos Santana are examples of guitarists you don't have to see to know who they are - you can tell them by their tone. That to me is a testament to guitar greatness. But The Wall? There's better stuff in their back catalogue.

Ozzy. He's a shambles but he's still the man. Nerve disorder my black arse! The Blizzard called Oz just took to many mind altering substances in the 70's. Dio was cool too but what was up with all the fairy and elves imagery? He sings like a girl. Ozzy sings like a man!

Me and a mate decided to revisit our wasted youth this year as our christmas theme. We dressed down in our oldest Slayer t-shirts, turned the metal up to 11 and got hammered! We bought ourselves a keg for christmas and drank the lot between us. Fun at the time but now my head feels as if it was cleaved in twain by a gladius. Merry Christmas and a drunken New Year to all!

Bro, it's not about a love fest.GO helped me feel more comfortable here with his levity; there is alot of hidebound shit on this site. He was a troll, no question. But he was an accomodating troll. All good tht you expressed the way you feel. Delete shit? No frikkin way!

Go for it. Don't take any notice of those who end up at Burger King. They cheaped out on the planning. Plan your strategy and follow it. If you love history, you're on a head start! If I could sit at a desk for longer than an hour, I'd be doing it. Take the oppurtunity while you can. Go for it!

I've only just returned to the site today and learnt of the sad news about my friend and yours, the incorrigible Gaius Octavius Bathroom Attendant. This man was my first friend here - we gave each other shit and he invited me to be on his friends list. From there, he basically gave me the lowdown on Nephele and other people who became my friends, but GO was the first and he maintained that friendship even when I didn't. His jokes and pictures clogged my inbox. Not to mention his insults. After learning that I am Maori and seeing some of my native language on my ID page, he dubbed me "The Savage". I loved it. There was nothing politically correct about our Gaius Octavius. In fact, I think the man went out of his way to be politically incorrect. I read the news and tears came to my eyes. I had to pretend to my workmates that I'd got sand in my eyes. They got it out of me in the end though, and we all stopped work and had a beer in memory of a man none of us had even met. I told GO stories and GO jokes, and we toasted his life. Do the same here and post your GO stories as a tribute to a fine man. If someone else has already done this, I don't care. There are heaps of GO stories to go 'round! I'm gonna miss you, you old bastard.

I read that one too and really enjoyed it. Maty is a UNRV member (you probably knew that) and very helpful with a wicked sense of humor that comes out in his books.

I love your lists, sis. Who's next?

We kiwis are nothing if not resourceful! I will read your blog. The news about GO was really sad to hear; I cried, sis. I'm gonna miss that old bugger.

You're braver than I, Warrior. Looks sweet!

Belated birthday wishes to my fave femme fatale. Hope you had a really good party, sis!

I'd like to chuck "ARRRGGGHH" into the hat. What other word says "ARRRGGGH" like ARRRGGGH?".

Belated birthday wishes to the brother Moonlapse. Hope you had a good one and got well and truly toasted.

Wicked bro!

Hey sis! Cool little movie! Kiwis can fly! Mate, I was really sad to hear about GO. When did that happen?

Oh man, that sucks. I miss you, Gaius Octavius. Even though I never met the man in the flesh, he had a mischevious streak that I identified with fully and a fantastic sense of humour. GO emailed me stuff that made me laugh until I cried, clogged my inbox with jokes and stories, jousted with me in a lighthearted way, but was always helpful and friendly from the moment I got here. He and Neph are solid gold. GO dubbed me "The Savage" and now I'll wear that name with pride. I never met the guy in person, but no shit, friends, I'm crying as I write this. RIP Tom, you were one of a kind.

That's awesome Doc.

Salve all of my friends from UNRV! Over the weekend, something monumental happened that you may not be aware of. The Kiwi Rugby League team won the World Cup from Australia! This is bigger than Obama. This is bigger than the financial crisis. NEW ZEALAND ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS AT SOMETHING! It may not mean a bean to any of you, but I don't care. I get this little warm feeling when I think of our team smashing the Aussies at their own game! I'm happy for the next five years until we get to defend the cup AT HOME, and I can go to every game and scream my nuts off! GO THE KIWIS!
