Funny Stuff
Apr. 28th, 2010 02:05 pmThere's a company called Dragon Removal, in Sydney. Just in case you ever have any pesky dragons hanging around your place, scorching your garden, eating all your flowers, leaving a mess, and making a nuisance of themselves.
Also, I love YouTube. I found the original performance of Paul McDermott and Fiona Horne singing Shut up, Kiss Me, from 1998? I think it was '98. I also found thePiece o' Piss Peace Opus featuring Human Nature, which I taped and then accidentally taped over, much to my despair at the time.
I love that people are uploading all these things I remember watching as a teenager.
Now I'm just waiting for someone to post episodes of JJJ's Captain Pants radio serial. If you didn't listen to it, it was basically a bunch of comedians, doing a bizarre story script live, which means they left in all the mistakes! It was cry-with-laughter funny, a little embarassing when we listened to it on our walkmans on the train to school in the mornings. The only thing I remember about it was that it was set on a ship, I think, and somehow Satan got tied to the mast, or something, and I remember Paul McDermott's character taunting: "Satan is a wanker, Satan is a wanker, Satan is a wanker." And then there was something about a potato famine. I don't even know. I just remember Mikey getting all gleeful: "We can finally do that joke about 'the peasants are revolting'!"
The radio show at the time was done by Mikey Robbins, Stephen Abbott (aka The Sandman or "Sandy"), Jen (the sensible one trying the keep the rest of them in line), and Paul McDermott dropped by at least once a week, and they all voiced several characters in Captain Pants.
I found a few more quotes online from other episodes:

And then there was the Weather Game, the rules of which were: they were given a topic, and after the day's weather for each city was read out they had to have one answer ready.
( For example: )
Needless to say it made it very hard to listen for the weather for your city because you'd inevitably pay more attention to the game.
Also, yes, you can say "shit" on Australian radio.
