    That’s some fine polishing right there, Ed — I can just about see my reflection in this episode.

    And therefore proving, once and for all, that you can polish a turd.

    (But you can’t make people listen to it.)

    Heh. Well, I’m laughing before I’ve heard it.


  4.  Gravatar The Editor (Wednesday 26 March 2008, 2:01 pm) # 

    Don’t laugh too soon, Damian. You may regret it.

    I’ll just put the podcast to one side then and hand on to the image of you blokes sitting around a table polishing a turd.

    Bugger. “Hang” on to.


  7.  Gravatar The Editor (Wednesday 26 March 2008, 2:06 pm) # 

    Just for the record, Ant’s referring to the fact that we’ve never made so many fuck-ups in a recording before and it required an enormous amount of editing.


  8.  Gravatar Jeremy (Wednesday 26 March 2008, 2:35 pm) # 

    Again, I’m sorry.

    You’ve got a black armband view of GrodsThink, Jeremy.

    I think Bolt was invited then he made a big deal of throwing it back in someone’s face.

    Just saying.

    “War on drinking” (WOD) section: loved it! So simple! But grousome. Jeremy was very convincing. An enjoyable episode all up, fellas. A well-polished turd indeed.

    Sigh. I must get around to listening to at least one GrodsCast one day. I think I’m missing out on some fun.


  13.  Gravatar John Surname (Thursday 27 March 2008, 9:20 am) # 

    You’re really not.


  14.  Gravatar The Editor (Thursday 27 March 2008, 12:20 pm) # 

    Thanks, Damian. Jeremy will be pleased that all the planning that went into that joke wasn’t in vain.


  15.  Gravatar Jeremy (Thursday 27 March 2008, 1:09 pm) # 

    It wasn’t planning so much as a complete lack of anything to meaningfully contribute on the subject.


  16.  Gravatar Damian (Thursday 27 March 2008, 1:14 pm) # 

    Bron, if ever you’re at home with a Dapto briefcase, wishing you were at the pub with your mates talking shit instead, pull up a bean bag and get into GrodsThink. It’s just like being there.


  17.  Gravatar Ant Rogenous (Thursday 27 March 2008, 1:31 pm) # 

    Except you don’t get rudely pointed at or bathed in spittle when one of your three-parts-pissed mates feels he needs to leap to his feet and emphasise a point he’s making.


  18.  Gravatar The Editor (Thursday 27 March 2008, 4:43 pm) # 

    It’s a real shame that GrodsThink isn’t a vodcast because I rooly, trooly spurted beer out of my mouth onto John and Jeremy’s arms when Ant made his “meat” joke towards the end. Not pretend spurting, but actual spurting. If you listen carefully you can hear it and then a few seconds later I giggle like a girl (well, more like a girl than normal.)

    ps/- Damian, I hate to have to ask but what is a “Dapto briefcase”?


  19.  Gravatar Ant Rogenous (Thursday 27 March 2008, 4:46 pm) # 

    I don’t know what that is either, Ed, but if Damian gives you an Urban Dictionary link for it, DO NOT CLICK!


  20.  Gravatar Damian (Thursday 27 March 2008, 4:52 pm) # 

    Ah sorry, I was speaking in a regional dialect. A Dapto Briefcase is a cask of cheap wine, aka a goon bag, or Chateau de Cardboard.


  21.  Gravatar The Editor (Thursday 27 March 2008, 4:54 pm) # 

    Couldn’t help it.

    For the record, I spent the first twelve years of my life in Dapto.


  22.  Gravatar Bron (Thursday 27 March 2008, 4:57 pm) # 

    Ahhhh. That explains everything now. Dapto. The Editor. Early formative years. Yep.


  23.  Gravatar Damian (Thursday 27 March 2008, 4:59 pm) # 

    I just googled(tm) “goon bag”, hoping to find the entry on the Aussie regionalisms Word Map. How good is this headline from Brissie last year?

    Thugs use goon bag to bash goths.


  24.  Gravatar keri (Thursday 27 March 2008, 6:37 pm) # 

    I’ve only just listened to this, and I have only one thing to say - “Sexy time”?


  25.  Gravatar The Editor (Thursday 27 March 2008, 6:38 pm) # 

    Maybe ask John about it, Keri. He’d probably be able to give you more details.


  26.  Gravatar John Surname (Thursday 27 March 2008, 6:47 pm) # 

    Yeah, it was pretty good. That’s all I’m telling you Keri.
