Needs To Be Glassed gives Canberra a relative Thumbs Up

Sambo, write a tune to it and see if you can sell it as an unreleased Smiths B-side 😉

Yes the ricky ponting link was worth it’s weight in gold – and azaria chamberlain is going straight to the pool room….

Mr Evil, you’re the third person to send me there this year.

Bulldog, it happens when I’m tired, I’m sure the comments weren’t serious. I appreciate but don’t need the pity, as I said, I’m happy with my life.

Anyways, if you think it’s an essay I’ll keep a copy for an English class. I would love to see a teacher mark it!

Love the Ricky Ponting link JB. Call me a bogan if you will, but it still chuckleworthy.

Sambo, stop taking shit so personally; I’m sure Caz doesn’t really want to glass you and that JB was not messing with your agoraphobia. By responding with self pitying essays, I’m sure it only makes you more of a target.

For me it is Ben Lee’s music which is less than ordinary, his personality that is less the ordinary, and no he will never write a better song than paul kelly…. anything with expletives and threats of maiming with serious intent is good enough for me

Sam, you like talk radio? That’s it: you’re going straight to hell. 😉 I’ll see you there!

I must admit some of the Glassed site’s comments are kind of funny, but even I found it really boring after awhile (and I love hanging shit on celebs!).

I noticed that I was taking some comments far too personally here, and as such took a break…I needed the sleep anyway. I’ve had some time to think and this is my summary.

I did not find that site amusing, nor did I find it offensive. It just didn’t appeal to me. My “words of wisdom” comment was meant to be lighthearted, even if it didn’t come across that way. I believe that the comments aimed at me were also light hearted, but as I said, I took them far too personally.

There was one, however, that got me thinking:
Johnboy wrote “We can’t all be like you Sam.”

Not quite sure what you meant Johnboy, but I will assume that it was in relation to the “stay at home” comment.

I would be happy to admit that I’m not exactly an outgoing person, and I don’t have much of a social life. Part of this stems from the fact that I’m not exactly overly popular and why would I be, one of my main course of study is IT, I’m a talk radio fan, I’m more interested in old music than new music and I enjoy being at home.

I’m happy with my life, and I don’t expect anybody else to be. I can honestly say I don’t fit many teenage stereotypes, and I really don’t care. I might be missing out on a lot of fun and life experiences, but I am building my own unique set, and that will do me just fine.

Anyway, I’ve had another look at that site and have found a funny side to it…it still doesn’t amuse me, but I can see how it could be amusing.

I dunno, they have a certain economy of language.

take this example for, er, example.

It’s not about dumping shit. It’s how the shit is dumped. I dont agree with a lot of what Caz says about “Idol” BUT it is written with some intellegence and humour. I personally think Ben Lee is a bit of tosser as well, but not about his music, but because he made the statement some time ago that he has written better songs than Paul Kelly ever will and that he was Australia’s best song writer etc.

A good put down doesn’t have to be well thought out.

Even THIS is a funnier put down on Ben Lee… still crap … but funny

Talent level on that site: 1/10. But funny if you like that sort of thing. Also plays into the hands of the many people overseas who see us Aussies as a bunch of crude f*ckwitted bogans.
