Another year, another Summernats

I suspect RustyNailed is a very clever parody. No-one could really be so limited to the material and the sensate.

Great story RustyNailed – have you thought about adapting it to the stage?

It’s your credibility, not mine. Keep pissing against the wind for all I care, I’m not getting wet.

Official prognosis? What are you? A f-king shrink?

Kids, this is the ‘call people who insult me and/or disagree with my stupid opinions insane’ approach. It’s a simplistic, yet devilishly effective tactic when you’ve got a team of complete morons backing you. The ‘m’ word still carries a bad stigma about it thanks to ignorance.

If I was a lesser man, I would simply used in reply the fact that you seem to have a dangerously overblown opinion of yourself and your abilities. You seem to think that you excel in almost every specialized field, be it some sort of skilled sniper (yes, I haven’t forgotten the disturbing ‘laser tracker on your back’ comment) or a super-spy, you seem to think an archaic title deserves some kind of respect (inbreeding, pom-weenie-sucking and handouts from the UK government regardless of personal income are not held in much regard in modern Australia) and you refer to yourself in third person. These are symptoms of very serious mental illness, the name for which I don’t know, because, hey, I’m not a shrink.

However, you’re exempt from ‘heathens are mad’ tactic, as you are so ridiculously moronic that no-one would believe your mind has sufficient screws to lose. It’s the feigned intelligence, mate, it gives your stupidity away, which is probably why no-one has recommended that you seek some help.

I also seem to remember a long argument between you and tap about how pretentious ‘Lord Maelinar’ was. It is pretentious and the fact that you would be so pretentious to do such a thing is a card I’m going to keep and consistently use against you until eventually, you are torn apart (From the state of your recent posts, I might not be too far off). Why? Because you’re a twat and I enjoy having a go at twats in-between schoolwork and playing computer games. Best stress relief ever, in my opinion.

I have never posted here and will mostly likely never will again, but as a 13 time vet of summernats heres my thoughts for the people who a offended by the event and the people who go to it.
 
LOL…. what a pack of self-righteous white wine drinking poofters most of you lot are. I have been to Summernats 13 times. Only once did I see things get out of control and that was because of police bulling tactics.
Summernats piles millions of dollar’s into the most boring city in Australia during its most boring time of the year. Canberra has no economy beyond those wankers that claim to run the country. You all should be grateful its being held there every year for the last 21 years. If it was not for the Summernats I still would not have wasted my time going to that waste of space. Some of you must be under the false pretence that everyone that attends is going riot and steal your slut daughters away..! I have seen the crime stats for Canberra you have nothing to be proud about so don’t complain about crime from that event.
And heres some more news for you. Come Melbourne Cup day I see more so called blue blood, church going, liberal neo-con’s chucking their guts up, abusing police and generally make a mess of them selves all the while thinking their shit don’t stink.
Considering that nearly every car entered into Summernats has cost anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000 to build and even beyond that it either offends you or scares you.
 
I have any always considered myself a Yobb, Hoon what ever you want you snot nosed snobs call us. I have a $750,000 home full paid 10 years ago that I renovated, 3 cars, and a boat. I have travelled all over the world and even have a very profitable investment portfolio and not a drop of light beer or white wine in the house. Real women drink Jim Beam
But most of all nothing gives me more pleasure then hopping into my 4 door HQ Prem and smoking the fuck out everything in sight.
In summery I rather be a someone that is looked poorly apon by Civic leaders and the police then a tool which clearly some people here are

The only person going on about my title is you WMD – not only that, it seems to have transcended into several subsequent threads, and rather seriously diminishes any semblance of credibility you may have.

I am beginning to think you have a serious mental issue – this is an official prognosis.

Have you ever been sepi?

Thumper, I didn’t say bogans are all Howard voters, please take the time to re-read my post with more care. The point is that there is empirical evidence that this demographic is more inclined to support the conservatives. The relevant research is there, if you can stop laughing long enough to have a look. Education levels are the key determinate in voting patterns across the country.

As for ‘tradies’, the majority work as sole owner-operators or in micro-businesses (less than 5 employees), are not unionised, and do not traditionally vote labor just because they have trade qualifications.

It’s about time the CT printed some real stories about Summernats.

Usually they print pages and pages of pics of bright shiny cars, and interviews with drivers from out of town. That just makes it look like a totally different (and ‘family oriented’) event. I’ve often wondered if anyone has gone there after reading those articles and got the shock of their lives.

Oh, and don’t call me unfortunatelie or any of the other Bassingthwaites.

Also heard a story that there were some cars there, but I can’t confirm that one.

It wasn’t the won I was thinking of, unfortunenatelie.

On the CT, it just looked like a fight. They happen. Big deal. I’d rather that be done in a fenced off area away from me than just out in public.

So that’s actually how you spell fortunately?

Actually, I said one instead of won. Nobody gets the prize.

There’s plenty more stories that won’t make it into the Country Times for whatever reason.

Like how the bloke that sells the grog at the Nats orders in almost a million cans, and pretty much sells the lot by Sunday arvo. Not sure if that includes beer, it could be just Bundy and Jack.

And the bloke that does a sh*t in one of the toilet handbasins, every morning of every day of every Summernats. Wouldn’t like to be on the cleaning staff……

Our taxes at work. If you’ve ever wanted to commit some kind of other crime in Canberra, now’s the time to do it.

Saw the CT front page this morning, but heard nowt on the radio, so it may all have been a beatup. But must admit to having thought “hmmm, drunken, truculent yobbos at Summernats – who would have thought …?”.

“Fortunatley”?

M’kay, so what do I win?

Pick the typo in there and you’ve won one.

Not Uni, CIT, I’ve said that before.

Having a degree is never an excuse to just back out of an argument with an insult, assuming you’ve one. Having a degree is supposed to indicate intelligence and an ability to debate. If you can’t do that, then, well, you might as well wipe your arse with that piece of paper as far as me giving it any respect goes.

Conservatives such as Maelinar live in fantasy worlds where you still have peasants and the nobility, brave, churchly folk and vile heathens. Fortunatley, with those as harmless as Maelinar, just pat them on the back and go, “Yers, Yers, Lord Ghost Elf, go slay the dragons in your bedroom until dinner, and keep it quiet in there.”

Fluges – I think the definition of ‘bogans’ is pretty wide. What about the tradies that vote labor by tradition? It could be that the word ‘bogan’ is increasingly irrelevant, as it applies to a vast range of different people, and is just used by self-important douchebags to make their miserable lives seem better than everyone else. But shhh, don’t tell Maelinar. We don’t want a ‘waaah waah’ before bath-time.

“Ain’t” is a word I rarely use myself, although it does have its uses and is quite appropriate in certain circumstances. What amuses me is that these ‘bogans’, draped in Australian flags and strutting around in packs shouting “Aussie, Aussie, Ausssie” and “show us your tits”, mostly vote liberal. When it’s politically expedient, Conservatives such as Mælinar pander to these ‘bogans’, so it’s a bit rich to disparage them now. These are the people the libs are targeting when they’re distributing the odd bit of Lindsay-style racist propagana. They form the constituancy of the right wingers that predominate on this forum.

that would be ain’t you still at uni ?

gotta switch to boganspeek when talking to WMD…

And she pulls out the ‘I don’t have the intelligence to reply so I’ll call you ridiculous’ card!

And oh, but you did go on about the English language in a public forum. On the fourth of January at 12:31, no sooner, no later; you attempted to be the teacher you claim to be by criticizing my usage of the word ‘ain’t’ and failing miserably to back it up with a ‘you must be working-class’ argument.

Say ‘I’m paid to be a teacher’ and you’ll give me the laugh of my life.

So, what are you paid to do, silly lass?

DMD, dream on little man.

Thanks for the laugh.

Oh, and I tend NOT to go into detail about the English language in public forums as it can make for a good ‘snooze’ session.

But by all means, keep on doing what you’re doing…..it’s a good comedic act, you should take it on the road.

Summer nats has seemed very quiet this year after last year’s noisy effort.

It’s Saturday night, and I ain’t misbehavin’.

Bet they are, up at Summernats, though.

“You’ve just proved you’re an ignorant fool.

Your childish behaviour is wasted on this site, perhaps you should go to a Delta Goodrum site instead? You’d be a king among teens!” – was the last I got from you.

FYI, I’m not of Bogan stock, actually. I’m from a pretty average middle class family with ex-hippie-ish parents (don’t kill me dad).

As for bitching a moaning about the word – well, I’d think as a teacher, you might understand how the english language came about and how it’s changed over the centuries. Alot of this change comes from slang and ‘vulgar english’ gradually being accepted. John Marsden once wrote, “A language that does not evolve is a dying language.”

Ain’t is a well-needed shortening of ‘am not’. There is no reason to say ‘am not’ when you can say ‘ain’t’. It’s also handy for ‘Are not’. F-kin super-word in my opinion!

Go back to teaching PE.

Thumper – apparently, the first recorded ‘ain’t’ was in 17-something. God knows why it didn’t make it here (maybe it was localized to some area back then), but it’s high time it did.

DMD, my last post to you was deleted by the moderators (I take it).

Your grasp of the English language only confirms for me that you are of bogan stock.

You can bitch and moan about your right to say it, that’s fine. I’m telling you it shows how ignorant you are.

I wonder what your Uni lecturers think when they read your essays…..poor buggers.

As for the ‘Queen of nobody’ title: spoken like a true child.

Now run along, I think Playschool is on.

Blimey, all this aint got nuffin to do with those scallywags at these Summer nationals or whatever they are called. I think aint is ok by the way, although I am half english.

Actually, it’s derived from Working-class London speak, MATE and since found it’s way to Rural America, hence it’s frequent usage in African American culture.

Language is constantly evolving, guys, get used to it. Ain’t is here to stay.

I personally like the word, since the best words are always the ones that shorten sentences. Most people know what ‘ain’t’ means, so it gets the message across plain and simple. The only people that have a problem with it are language snobs who would prefer to be stuck in Shakespearean times (where people would have laughed at their command of ye olde farte language anyway!)

Oh, and Maelinar, I’m not a Scottish Lord. Riot-Act isn’t your imaginary House of Lords, I’m afraid – I’m just a simple middle-class Aussie and I ain’t changing the f-kin way I talk for f-kin nobody, mate.

ain’t is best categorised as a word invented by black americans, and then done to death by white trailer trash americans until it borders on recognition in america.

You’ve been showing your roots a little recently WMD.

No, you proved yourself a bad teacher if you can’t understand that ‘ain’t’ should be a word by now, having been used for quite some time.

You’re a Queen among nobody.

You’ve just proved you’re an ignorant fool.

Your childish behaviour is wasted on this site, perhaps you should go to a Delta Goodrum site instead? You’d be a king among teens!

Sorry, that’s not slang, that’s ‘vulgar english’ or something. There, I made a stuff up. But I’m not being pretentious about it.

Defend your English-Godwin’s-Law-Invoking tribes.

I ain’t listenin’ to no teachers.

I also ain’t paying out bogans for poor spelling when it clearly wasn’t the case. I also ain’t forgetting that I’m entitled to use slang.

I also personally like ‘ain’t’. I reckon it should be elevated from being ‘vulgar’ English and treated as proper English. It’s been around since the 18th century or something and ‘hain’t’ has been around for ages before that.

For the record, I ain’t going to Summernats.

DMD, you do not use the word “ain’t” in the above sentence. It is “I am not going to Summernats.”

Don’t have a go at Mael for his post when you can’t even write a proper sentence.

Clearly Mælinar doesn’t know the difference between entrant and competitor in the Summernats world.

The point is your original post was wrong as it’s not spelt incorrectly.

And why shouldn’t people who enjoy it defend themselves?

There, you admitted it. Doesn’t it feel better?

For the record, I ain’t going to Summernats.

OK WMD, Just for you, I made a stupid remark.

Add it to the bottom of the list beside your computer entitled ‘Maelinar’s stupid remarks for future reference’, give your PC screen a grin, and marvel at how smart you are.

If you haven’t guessed by now that I occasionally make stupid remarks, then you haven’t googled me enough. Just so you know for future reference, I occasionally submit stories that aren’t truly serious.

As I have said on many occasions, I’m more about opinion than news or information. My opinion, is for you to read at the top of the screen.

Why don’t you do something useful on RA and submit a report about what you saw at Summernats bogan-boy ? Since you seem so keen to either defend them to death, or simply attempt to flame me in some kind of mysterious etheral testosterone battle that you have conjured up.

As I said earlier – My time is wasted, go defend your bogan tribes.

And how many of the Summer nuts will be able to work out which entrance is which anyway?

The fuss is Maelinar made a stupid remark and he fails to admit he has. Once he owns up, it will all be forgotten.

Yes, because your childish attitude to this just makes anyone want to ‘own up’.

Seriously Boganarama is nothing special.

Summernats Entrants

I’m going to go and change the sign to read “Summernats Entrants Entrance” 😉

The fuss is Maelinar made a stupid remark and he fails to admit he has. Once he owns up, it will all be forgotten.

I’d ignored this post as it contained the word “Summernats”, but if i’m following…

Summernats Parking is where Spectators park their cars before walking into EPIC.

Summernats Competitors is where people showing off driving skill\talent go to get into EPIC.

Summernats Entrants is either
1) where people paying to have their cars stared at\envied (seperate to the people who are actually driving their cars around at the show) go to get into EPIC, or
2) A misspelling of “Entrance”, and is in fact where you walk to in order to get into EPIC, after you park your car as a spectator?

Is -that- what all the fuss is about?

You people need more challenging jobs..

Maelinar – No. The competitors are the ones who participate in events such as drag-racing etc. Entrants are the ones who show off their hotted up cars by parking them so others can stand around and gawk.

Two different things, therefore the organisers have called them different names. Sorry, mate, you’ve lost.

oh this is gold guys.

That makes them competitors.

der.

Obviously a bogan who can’t understand…. yes Entrants means those entered into the event…

der

It was tounge in cheek Maelinar. Your post was piss funny because it was so ignorant you tried to make the organisers look like fools when at the end of the day you are the one looking like a fool. PS I am no fat ****, maybe a skinny ****. Ok?

^ I forgot to add; “Everyone on the internet is a fat nerd but me. I’m just lowering myself to your level!” – is that what you’re trying to say?

You’re a f-kin textbook, mate!

But Bokans can’t speel!

Ahh the internet making heroes of fat **** behind PC screens I see. My time is wasted, go defend your bogan tribes.

Lol, nor Rofl, nor Lmao nor anything other internet laugh thing can justify how I laughed at this post.

i thought 2007 was world ‘beat up on maelinar’ year..?

“Doesn’t that make the Entrants – Competitors then ?

Comment by Mælinar — 31 December, 2007 @ 6:07 pm”

Nop did the post make the difference clear to you. A competitor competes in events. An entrant shows their car but is not registered to compete. Guess the post shows what a tool you are!!!

Sorry, Maelinar. It would have been funnier if your punctuation didn’t suck and you hadn’t used the word ‘whilst’.

Exactly! Truculence is not wit.

Bogans never witty? I once saw a bumper sticker on an old Kingswood in QBN that read “please do not honk as a smack in the mouth often offends”.

It’s their Holy City.

They were obviously here for the summernats, wiht that scrawled message on their ute. Summernats people are drawn to Qbn, it’s their kind of place.

Ant

That’s not Summernats, its Queanbeyan.

I realised it must be on when in the Qbn Woolies carpark this evening, I got stuck behind a black Suit Ute with some lame-o gothic writing sticker on it, and over the top, on the cabin back window and the paint next to it, someone had written in what looked like signwriting paint “Get them out for the …. (something)… we are awesome” and drawings of mens’ ugly bits.

That’s the thing about Bogans. They are never witty. Ever.

I am ENTRANCED by all this…

Happy New Year! (hic!)

“Doesn’t that make the Entrants – Competitors then “

No its different not all the cars that turn up go in the competitions. Cars the go into the competition have to go through scrutineering to make sure they are safe.

Thats why the separate entrance

Doesn’t that make the Entrants – Competitors then ?

Don’t the entrants go in the entrance?

😉

Sorry Mælinar, I think Summernats may have outwitted you…
There are Summernats Entrants – who are entered in the event, but just cruise around epic all weekend; and there are Summernats Competitors – who are entered in one or more of the various events (ie. burnouts, go to woah, motorkana, etc.).

That’s OK, the stupid bogans who attend won’t know the difference. Thus, nature balances itself.
