Oooh! We’re Launching A Movement!
So I’m perusing the BBBA forums when a flash of brilliance jumps out at me from the screen. What, you might ask? Well, it’s a new way to refer to Saxon & Gretel. I cannot believe I didn’t think of it myself. But kudos to donnie_darko from the BBBA forums for inventing “Graxon”
From now on, auscuture.com refuse to refer to the couple as anything but Graxon. I hope you guys take it up too. Hopefully we will then launch the phrase into the media where it will be used with aggravating frequency in gossip columns. Graxon! It’s terrible! It’s hideous! It’s here to stay.
If you feel as strongly towards this pointless issue as we do, then feel free to place the below picture on your site. Together, we can convince Sydney Confidential to begin to use the term “Graxon”.

At long last. This ennui has worn me like a cloak, through winters dark heart. Lo, a crusade beckons ! Prithy, good fellows, let us not tally as we hearken to the call to arms, forthwith shall we verily smite the two-headed abomination called Graxon, rampaging as we speak and terrorizing the poor denizens of Olde Tabloid Towne.

just visited the BB live streaming where i found the house mates having a little BBQ on the other side of the pool to far away to see anything and there was no sound wouldn't want to blow the ratings ,why have the live stream if your not gonna let people watch it - has anybody else had this experience

Yep, they often re-direct the live stream and there is also a delay on the stream - not truly live. I'd say this is twofold, to limit what we see (which defeats the whole purpose of BB!) and so that 3mobile customers can pay through the nose for less restricted access.

Good lord... you're a D&D fan, aren't you!
You've outed yourself! No one knows the lingo that well!
Unless of course you've appeared to become ausculture.com's very own Samuel Pepys?

No, not a DD fan, rather someone who read a lot of sf and fantasy when growing up (after stumbling across Tolkien in the school library one day) and has an interest in medieval history.
D & D geek !!?!?!
Hmpf !
btw thanks for just introducing me to samuel pepys :)

ps should have put etymology in that post as well...nuff said.
I actually remember when I was a kid, probably 9 or 10yo, there being this rumour about dungeons and dragons being evil. The mists of time conceal, but I think I was actually banned from playing it by my mother when some other kids from the squash club I played at started up a game.
I should thank my mum for that.
