Good Ol' Melbum Days

Remember when it used to rain here?

Seems so long ago...

And when getting a beer on a Sunday was an adventure? Me and Frugal walked for an hour for the right to buy the first legal Sunday beer in Melbum.

Now you can drink any time, any day. We're world famous for having bars in lanes! Our graffiti stacks up against the best art the world has to offer. They come from all over the globe to see.

I used to do art on the walls. "American heads will roll in Texas"

How about that timeless StKilda wall art: "God Sucks"

Or that classic in glue:
"Lady Di Gives Head"

That one stood the test of time.

I've been pissed all over this fucking town. Puked in Dandy. Pissed in Prahawn. Smacked out in Sunshine.

I don't have a problem the way it is now. Just sayin', thats all.

I tells ya all your fucking arty farty Melbum pubs now dont stack up to the fucking urinal at the Seaview Saloon Bar! Now that was a bar; walk down the stairs, dark even in the summer sun. Sitting at the table and watching the show. Fat abo chicks trying to get you home for the night. A punch on was guaranteed.

Pubs that you could piss in.

OK. Had my say. Maybe time to leave ol' Melbum town for somewhere new.

    I sure got some laughs out of "The Outcasts of Foolgarah" - Frank would get a laugh out of Howard's drubbing, I'm sure.
    Sadly missed - Frank I mean, not the creep.

    Why not an endearing pink ostrich for an Ostrichlian PM? Is Ossie dead? We could dust him off.
    After the reign of terror from Johnny the Pig and now having to listen to Rudd's self-admiration, I would vote for Ossie - early and often!

    I'm shocked! The ostrich was named Ozzie not Ossie. To make it even worse, he was not a REAL ostrich! Some guy named Ernie Carroll operated this dead ostrich with a hand up his arse!
    But then, the last Oz PM was operated that way for eleven years...

    I left. Won't go back. Too many shadows. That town is dead, damned, full of zombies. Nothing to see, move along, move along. Give me life's meek intricacies, a far horizon and a bubbling shoreline to ponder. And, evermore, chilled vodka spritzers as the sun sets. And the sun IS setting, brothers and sisters, the sun is definitely setting. Nazdarovya!

    I know what you mean.

    For example, here is a photo from the scene outside Myers on Boxing day:

    @nasty lombok Mary Hardy, her brother Frank and the rest of the Hardy family lived in Lerderderg St, Bacchus Marsh. Peter Carey lived in the same street!

    I used to visit them all of the time. Well not all of the time. Some times. OK fine I drove past there once. I think.
