Malarky Monday

anonymum — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:00:34 +0000

Yes, after a week’s absence, that madness we refer to as Malarky Monday is back in an attempt to tickle your little funny bones.
I had a bit of a trawl on Youtube in an effort to find this video.
I’ve known of it for some time, and at one stage had it, but somehow managed to lose it.
How one loses a video is beyond me, but I managed it.
Anyhow, the video in question has me in fits every time I hear it because it appeals to my sick sense of humour.
It’s been called the greatest prank call of all time, and I must admit, I tend to agree.
Even if you’ve heard it before, listen again, because after all, the idea of terrorising a telemarketer is a thought that I’m sure all of us can relate to, and to have a laugh on one of those little bottom feeders can only be a good thing.
The bastards terrorise us all the time, and payback is a bitch.
Gotta love karma hey??
After you’ve had a giggle here, wander on over to Mark and ~m for some more fun to start the week.

Living like a redneck

anonymum — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:21:19 +0000

While we were in America, or more specifically down the Cape, we played a few games.
I already went through Celebrity Heads for you, and that was an absolute hoot.
Being 3/4 pissed probably helped I’ll admit, but anyone who’s played it knows it’s enormous fun, drunk or sober, and let’s be honest, what is there that can’t be enhanced with a few drinks???
I digress…sorry!

Our very own Evyl one bought a board game with him.
Now, I quite like some board games, but lots of them are bland.
Boring.
Rather watch paint dry, you know?
Not this one!
The Redneck Game of Life was an absolute pisser!
The ultimate object of the game is to be the one with the most teeth at the end.
I shit you not!
You have to be the one with the most teeth when everyone is finished.
Just to add to the fun, Mr & Mrs Evyl had a prize for the winner, so we were all agog as to what THAT could be too!
You roll 2 die to determine your level of education, which in turn determines what type of job you get, which then determines how much money you earn, and of course, as in real life, that determines how well you live as far a house, car etc, go.
It also determines your redneck name of course!
Billy Bob, Martha Sue, Betty fucking Boo, there were some blinders!
And do NOT get me started on the logistics of having 6 children all with the same name either!
Now whilst I can’t recall the exact levels of living, let me tell you, some of them are pretty damned low!
Most of us ended up around mid range, and even that was hard.
The debts you accumulate are quite staggering, if somewhat exaggerated at times.
As you progress through the game, you also accumulate children.
Yes, children.
You can end up divorced, remarried, adopting children, and, at times, social services can step in and take them.
There are communal cards that can be good or bad, sort of like the Chance and Community chest in Monopoly.
Some can be kept until needed, and then passed onto someone else.
When they’re passed on, it can set you back quite a bit.
You can steal someone else’s car, be made give your car to someone else {and some of the cars just something to behold let me add here!!} be made take someone else’s children because they can’t feed them, all while trying not to get a card that made you lose a fucking tooth!
Suffice to say it’s pretty much life as it actually is, but in a far different way to what I’m used to I can assure you!
It would be hard to tell you exactly how much fun we all had.
We laughed, we swore, we called each other names, and the whole time we were fighting to keep every single fucking tooth we had!!!
The game time was quite long because there were so many of us, but damn we had some fun!
In the end, everything was added up, taken away, calculated and with one person left to finish and calculate, I was ahead by a country mile, and quite excited I was too.
The best laid plans of mice and men, though.
Pamela, God love her little blonde soul, had other ideas and came streaking home to win the game.
I thought I was safe with 21 teeth, but no, damn her, she ended up with 25, which was quite the feat given the nature of the game!
Now, to the prize.
With great care, Joyce went to their room and came back with a pretty little stone.
“Pam, this is your prize. It’s a genuine Indian love stone, from Texas!”
“Oh my, how pretty and interesting, but what exactly is an Indian love stone”
Joyce {bless her}:
“Well, it’s just another fucking rock of course!!”
Do yourself a favour should you ever see this game in a store.
Buy it, because you could spend some endless hours of fun playing it!
We have our eyes open for it, but may need to attack Amazon I think, and I’m keeping my eyes peeled for one of those Indian love stones too!!

Malarky Monday

I’ve been conspicuously absent from the blogosphere this week, I know.
I was supposed to do a Tuesday post, which is done, but here it is Monday {again} already, and it never got published.
{sorry Lolly}
It’s been end of month at work, house guests have been in residence and I’ve all of a sudden lost a week!
Sheesh!
Wednesday is another day however, so there is hope for me yet!
In the mean time, it’s Malarky Monday time.
My internet hero is Maxine.
She makes sense to me.
Calls it as she sees it, and is as funny as hell.
Being the fan I am, I decided to go looking for some classic Maxine, and I was quite successful, as you will see below.
There are reasons for the ones I selected.
It was a long week the last one, and most nights I felt every single second of my 52 years.
The first one is for my American friends, with whom I have an enormous alliance, and as they know, have almost as great a love of their country as I do my own, so if it worries you, imagine an Aussie flag in there ok?
The computer one is quite appropriate too, given my absence.
So, please, enjoy, and once you’ve had a giggle here, don’t forget to visit my Monday Malraky cohorts in Mark, ~m and Muffy.
All 3 will have some little snippets for your amusement as well.
Have a great week, and I’ll be back on Wednesday.

Malarky Monday

Monday can be a shit of day, we all know that.
I think it’s being the first day of the working week is why {only my opinion}
I know on a Monday night I seem to drag my arse home more than any other day of the week.
If ever I’m going to be 120% knackered as opposed to 100% knackered, it’s Monday.
Myself, Michael, Mark and Muffy {aka Blondie} decided we would make an effort to get smiles from all of you on a Monday night, so we’ll band together each week and present to you {drum roll please}…
Malarky Monday!!!
It won’t be a lot, just a little something from each of us, that tickled our fancy over the course of the week, and we all love having our fancies tickled, as you can well imagine!

Without further dribble, here’s my first offering, plus, to find out what tickled our other participants, click their names above, and prepare to be tickled yourself!
We hope it brightens your week just a little.

Meanwhile, back at the Cape…

Tonto, disguised as a door, was having his knob pulled.
Nah. Just kidding!
It’s an oldie but a goodie though.

Now we’re over the little speed hump with Lucas, tis time to be getting back to our little adventure.
So.
Once all attendees were in residence, it was time for some fun and games.
Now, as most would agree, games are best played whilst imbibing in the odd alcoholic beverage <----- read shit loads of whatever you fancy.
Picture 2 mad Australians trying to teach some crazy Americans how to play that Saturday night favourite, Celebrity Head, throw lots of alcohol in the mix, and you have just one night of mayhem with all of us at the house!
Please remember here, there are 5 people who have never even heard of the game, most of whom are well on the way to being rather pissed, 2 people trying to explain the idea and rules of said game, who were even more pissed, we’re still waiting on the didg to be delivered, so I’m somewhat frigging antsy, the only thing we have to stick on people’s heads are post it notes, and it’s bloody dark, so noone can see a damned thing, with me seeing the least, because I’m night blind.
The last little point necessitated the use of a torch so we could see who had what name on their forehead.
A few of them nearly had their eyes sucked out by said torch, cos the aim of those holding the torch was a little impaired!
Sounds like a hoot, right?
Oh, it was a fucking hoot I can assure you!
The girls chose not to participate, so they were given the task of choosing the names to be used in this mad cap little evening around the fire pit.
And what names they chose too!
Damn they did well, given we needed names that everyone would recognise, not only American or Aussie ones.
Here is just a small taste of the names they chose:
Princess Diana <--- Mark got her, his very least favourite person in the world!
John Lennon <--- Took me forever to get this one right!
Michael Jackson <--- The timing on this was brilliant we thought
Paris Hilton <--- Evyl got this one! Too funny when you see the size of this small man mountain!!
The Grim Reaper <--- Me! Yeah thanks for that one girls!
Michael Murphy <--- Yep, Michael got himself, and one of his questions was “Am I gay?” How tempted were we to say yes???
Elvis Presley <--- Joyce was flummoxed for quite a while on this one
The Tooth Fairy <--- A gender question sparked a 10 min debate on whether the fairy is male or female. It was decided female BTW
Marilyn Monroe <--- Michael again, and his excitement when he found out he was not only blonde, but had nice boobs, was something to behold!
JFK <— This in the same round as Marilyn Monroe. You can well imagine the hints being thrown around!
We gave hints after 3 questions had been asked, otherwise we would have been there all night.
{Came close to that anyway I think!}
The hints were, at times, better than the actual game, and there was much laughter, with quite a few debates on the validity of answers given to questions.
There were many more names, and many more rounds, more laughter than you could poke a stick at, and it was a brilliant night overall.
For the life of me I can’t remember who was who other than those I’ve mentioned above, so if any of the said participants read this, please fill me in?
I was after all, pretty pissy at the time!!
I guess 8 or 9 bourbons will do that to you though??
This game was such a hit in the states that at a recent 16th birthday party it was played, so to all you Aussies, know that this was just one small way of educating people on the madness that is part of being Australian, and it would seem we were quite successful.
For a 16 year old to play one of our games at her birthday party tells me it was well received!
My next post on the wonderful time we had will be about another game.
The Redneck Game of Life.
You think we had fun with Celebrity Head, well this one was just as good, I can assure you!

I have too much time on my hands I think

anonymum — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 12:42:13 +0000

I’ve had quite the relaxing {read LAZY} weekend.
Done what I needed to do, had a couple of Skype calls, spoken to 2 daughters and made a regular weekly phone call to the states.
After all these were accomplished, I decided to wander around the net, stumbling at will, but I got sick of it.
Decided to come back here and check my spam bucket.
Do you have any idea how many people are trying to hawk naked pics of Myley Cyrus?
Dozens of the bastards.
What the hell they think I want with them I have no freaking idea, but they seem to think I’m quite keen.
At this point I would like to assure you, I AM NOT.
Nor do I have any desire for videos of women or men being raped, school girls in a gang bang, or men having sex with each other, however some of the drugs on offer could come in handy for an upcoming overseas flight, being the bad flier that I am.
I wandered over to Facebook after cleaning out the filth in my spam.
I am now officially hooked on FARKLE and Farmtown.
{Like I need any more obsessions??}
F**king FARKLE will be the death of me.
After muttering f**king FARKLE quite a few times {a girl can only take so many first roll FARKLES!!} I decided to click the link of a quiz that someone else did.
Fatal mistake!
I ended up doing 6 of those inane damned things!
WTF??
Yeah. Too much time on my hands for sure.
I need to get a life I think.
I was going to attempt some visits and comments, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
Been a long time since I got out of bed, and it’s not nearly long enough till the alarm.
Hope your weekend has treated you well.
Happy Fathers day to all Dads in the northern hemisphere too.
Just because they celebrate on a different day to us doesn’t make the day any less special now does it?

Democracy will rule

Our masterpiece has only one more chapter to be done, and it will be complete.
Every person who contributed did a briliant job, and I thank each of you for your effort, from the bottom of my heart.
That people are willing to give up their time to play along means much to me.
Each of you gets to have a say in who you think should have the ~~bastard job~~ honor of putting the icing on our cake.
I tried to put a poll in, but the bastid would not cooperate, no matter how I begged, pleaded, cajoled or swore, so we’re going to do this the old fashioned way.
A show of hands.
The only thing I ask is that you do it via the contact form rather than in the comments.
Last time we had the show of hands, I got some emails saying people felt bad about choosing because several others had done such a good job.
I’ve left the link for you to make it easier.
To refresh your memory, here are the people who were brave enough to put their hands up.
These are in the order of contribution.
Blondie
Widdle Shamrock
The Mistress
Cris
Anja
Annie
Evyl
Cowgal
Burnie
Please note I’m not there, as per usual. Being the instigator and coordinator has got to have some benefits after all!

Once the result is in, I’ll post the name of the winner {loser??}.
I would ask the person who is doing it to send it to me by email, and I’ll post their stunning conclusion here, and yes, there will be more links to all of you.
Nothing like a bit of link love now is there?
So there you have them. The brave souls who have been willing to play along in this, our very own soap opera….
Fried Green Bloggers at the Twitter Cafe
Now jump over to the contact form and have your say.
Don’t be shy.
ETA: The vote is open to anyone who has been following and commented, as well as those who did their bit. I think that’s only fair….

The burnmaster has spoken

anonymum — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:30:38 +0000

We’re all but done.
The burnmaster has done his bit here.
He was reasonably well behaved, for which I am eternally grateful I can tell you!
**phew**
I’ve added his bit to the rest of it, as I have with all the others on it’s very own page.

Our drama is almost done! MOST exciting!

Now to decide how to finish it off. I’m in 2 minds, but the decison will be made within 24 hours at the most, so wander bck tomorrow night to see whats going to happen.

On another note, I’ve managed to catch up my comments at your blogs {at last..YAY!!} Only a couple of days later than I would have liked, but it’s done all the same.

I hope life is treating you well, and is full of sunhsine and smiles

Be afraid…be very afraid. I know I am!

anonymum — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 02:41:19 +0000

So.
The Cowgal has done her bit, and done it well.
She had the unenviable task of following Annie and Evyl in our rolling post.
I think it was the nightmare scenario every person involved dreaded, but she handled it well.
Well done girl!
All of you wander over and have a read if you would be so kind?
The next nightmare scenario to be traversed, is he who is next in line.
Burnie.
Now, I know my husband. Very, very well.
Never once in his life has his mind lifted itself from the sewer. His mind actually apsires to rising to the gutter.
I shit you not!

We should all be quite concerned, however I have advised him, quite nicely, that porn will not be accepted, and how I would appreciate a concentrated effort to be good.
He assures me it will be so.
We’ll see shall we???
I’ve added the Cowgals contribution to our page, so it’s all in one place.
Now we await the Burnmaster {he’s the last because we had one drop out} and once he’s done his bit, I’ll think about how we’re going to make a decision on who does the final chapter.
I hope your weekend is treating you well.
We have a long weekend so I’m quite relaxed and will be visiting all to catch up on my reading and commenting before the end of tomorrow.

Rolling, rolling, rolling

anonymum — Tue, 26 May 2009 09:28:04 +0000

We’re off to the races!
As you know, I did the first part of our rolling post, and now blondie has picked it up and run with it!
She’s done a sterling job I have to say.
Wander on over and see what she’s done, because it’s well worth the effort I can assure you.
From here, she’s passed it to Cris, so within the next couple of days, I’m sure we’ll see the 3rd installment in what is shaping up to be a riveting tale of drama, love and who knows what else.
It’s surely not to be missed!
You still here???
Get over to blondie’s and check out the 2nd chapter!!
Off you go!!
Shoo!
