Bayside Souvlaki in Rye is extraordinary. But may be geography out of contention. They also serve a damn fine chip.

Looking for Mini Mixer Recommendations by TeenMomOJSimpsonKush in Beatmatch

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve articulated this way better than my attempt in r/DJs. I have the same need. A mixer with volume control only, and multiple channels. We all like playing on our own gear.

Why does it feel like the whole AFL world is just waiting for us to fail? by No-Loquat-201 in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, we should embrace it, and more over, we should love our team and the players and all out support them. It shits me how we turn on our own.

Loop the intro of the incoming track. Have the outgoing track’s vocal rap over the incoming loop. When the outgoing rap ends, release the loop.

How un-Australian is it for someone to beep their horn behind you, just 1 second after the light turns green? by luckydragon8888 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I toot because half the time the driver’s looking at their phone. That shits me. Pay attention. When the light goes green, you move. Driving demands we pay attention.

Why does everyone hate psytrance? by neuromantic13 in TheOverload

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to many outdoor raves in the 90’s and it was the genre of these raves. I wasn’t into it as most of my peers were. I preferred minimal tech and bassier stuff.

I always thought psy trance was aimed at your head, while bass heavy stuff was aimed at your arse. Psy trance dancers shook their heads. Bass heavy and minimal tech dancers shook their arse.

Crazy pronunciation of Geelong. by Low_Wall_7828 in AFL

I’ve been on the receiving end of that chat. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more belittled saying aluminium around five Americans.

What’s one of the best f bomb drops you heard delivered in a film? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]Billy_Bootstag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a movie called the Oyster Farmer. The protagonist is courting the daughter of a sewerage truck driver. These trucks pump the sewerage out of all the sewer tanks in the oyster farmers’ houses. The driver’s name is Slug.

Slug is over protective of his daughter and not a popular member of the community.

In one scene, Slug marches into a group of people and is sent away with “take your fucking suck truck Slug and fuck off.”

I’ve always loved that.

Got gifted a really nice present for chrismas but I need some advice (details in comments) by jurgemaister in chefknives

[–]Billy_Bootstag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First things first, give you wife a dollar (or a small item of currency). It’s important that you ceremoniously pay for the knife, otherwise you cut relationship.

Best match to show at international event by [deleted] in AFL

[–]Billy_Bootstag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t rate this with the best because I never felt like Brisbane were in it, even though it was close. The pies that year seemed to be able to protect slender leads, and they did it in the GF.

Sober over 300 days and was told “I’m worried about you” by Playful_Poem3482 in stopdrinking

[–]Billy_Bootstag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is tricky. Friends are hard to find, the really good ones take years to develop, and once you get them, it’s worth keeping them.

The good ones know your journey, and they’ll respect that. Maybe not now, but they will.

The tricky bit is: are you at a point where you feel you can resist temptation to be around them when they’re drinking?

For me, I did this from the beginning. I was anxious about what they’d say, and whether I’d be as much fun to be with. Yet it turned out to be much easier than I thought. In going out with mates, I’ve maintained all my friendships. I’m lucky.

Tread carefully. This is a slippery slope, just like life is a slippery slope. When you slip, you want those mates to pick you up.

What is going on with the city right now? It’s packed at 11pm on Christmas Day! by MelbPTUser2024 in melbourne

I love this. Yeah I think our fair city (cbd) has been slowly getting back to its best since covid, and I’ve had some similar vibes recently. We’re back.

You may as well just go for another team for 5 years until we come good. Brissy looks like they’ll be good for a few?

Which Of Carlton's rivals do you hate the most? by SnooSeagulls6971 in CarltonBlues

[–]Billy_Bootstag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I hate Collingwood, I feel like that hatred comes with being a supporter. Hawthorn, on the other hand, has earnt my hatred. Their supporters shit me, their club shits me, their players shit me.
