Random Tuesday Thoughts
Letters From Hell
As some of you might already know from reading other sites, the latest edition of Lucky Magazine has hit the streets and it’s chock-a-block with articles from bloggers! Yes! By simply picking up the mag, you can -
- Marvel at Daniel Boud’s erotic cover photograph!
- Chuckle knowingly at references to spa parties!
- Wonder to yourself “Is THAT La Nadine?” as you peruse random pictures!
- Give yourself a neck ache nodding in agreement to ausculture.com’s Quick Guide To 2005 (maybe)!
- Laugh and cry with Buck Fudd as he explores the veritable gold mine of entertainment that is Jury Duty!
- Look intellectual but saucy as you read some of Book Book Cheep Cheep’s chit chat!
- Pack your bags and get ready to wander across this big wide land - in your imagination - when you read Australia’s Worst Postcards with Clem Bastow!
- Talk art with Knifey-Knifeyard - yes, he of AC\DC Lane lightening bolt fame!
- Feel a profound sense of deja vu when you read The Seppo Report by American heartthrob Krankiboy!
- Inexplicably smother yourself in honey and light a joint before you read the world’s most intimate interview between Ms Fits and The Town Bikes! And be sure to chuckle at the Jana Wendt\Dustin Hoffman joke!
After waiting anxiously for the past week or two to get my own personal copy of Lucky Magazine in the post, I finally received a large, magazine-shaped package yesterday afternoon. Excitement! But wait, what’s this?
Well, that’s letters from Hell for ya. I should have known there’d be some clever, evil catch - now I owe those money-hungry fiends down at Australia Post $2! DO YOU THINK I HAVE THAT SORT OF MONEY, SHERRIFF?! DO YOU?! xxx
Funny Site!
Looks like it’ll be a while yet before our links page is updated so in the meantime, I feel I should point you in the direction of this site - Squizling. Specifically, this post from Merv Hughes’ gut perspective made me laugh, as did this excellent summary of ACA’s interview with Mamdouh Habib.
And frankly - we should have paid Mr Squizling zillions of dollars to do our X-Factor wraps. His posts on the show are short and to the point, funny and not at all self-indulgent. It would have been a nice turn-around for ausculture.com (boom boom!)
This could be my new favourite blog, oh yes it could.
Rock - And - Roll!
This Saturday night, Elmo’s bootykicking band The Lamento Suite will be playing at Sydney musical institution The Hopetoun. I will be there, possibly smoking cigarettes and playing pool with the the sadly no-longer-handlebar-moustached bass player Cam after the gig. I’ll have Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights in one hand, and a single daffodil in the other, and will be wearing red. Please meet me there so we can drink pina coladas and possibly get caught in the rain.

Hahahahaha…REALLY? Shit…oopsie…
Truth be told, I laughed my arse off when I saw it. Just wait until I send you your mix CD - with a brick in the bag just to add some weight!

Hey, thanks for the link! I only just saw this. Very kind of you. I’ve been reading ausculture for a while & love it.
I feel a bit churlish mentioning that I’m a Miss Squizling, not a Mr Squizling. “Squizling” isn’t the most gender-obvious name though, I know.
Thanks again!
