Although our Premier did give us a freebie of $600 towards our next power bills to thank us for behaving while we suppress COVID here in WA.

That's good.  I'll just be taking that to pay off my own &^%%^&*ing &^%&**ing *^^&**(*ers of an electric company.

Hand it over.

Also, take off your shoes:  I like those.  We'll trade shoes.

You first.  Also, Flamin' Hot Cheetos are now currency.  My pal Bretton Woods, first cousin of Australian actor James Woods, said.

[perfect_pitch]

He didn't give us cash - he told the Power company to give every billed customer, a $600 credit.

I didn't get a cheque or anything... I mean, that's so 90's.

So there's nothing to hand over. Meanwhile, I am sitting here in air-conditioned luxury and I ain't paying for it.

Well, I'm still eagerly excited about some supposed "Covid Stimulus Cheque" some dickweed cornholer said was supposed to arrive about eight months ago, of which most would have gone to pay my electric bill.

If Australia weren't full of a bunch of convicts and drinkers, given that of second quarter next year I'm going to owe my federal government money, I'd just as well go down south and show you all how a yanqui can drink beer.

Did Trump stiff you on a paycheck??? Not surprising.

And while the Australians could probably drink you under the table... The Scots would drink the Aussies under the table.

You have NO SHOT whatsoever of beating me.

You have no idea, son.  Even with my current drinking schedule of only three days drinking per week, I have the power to imbibe.

750ml of Irish whiskey or Salmiakkikossu is nice, as a snack.  Then I get started.

And, no, I don't fall over or stumble or anything. 

The crude recriminations and vile epithets start after the thirtieth unit of alcohol or so. 

Yet, I still manage to wake up in the mornings.

You realise Scots are usually drinking every single moment, so you're only half as good as us.

Not today!  And 3/7 is not even half.  Decimal expansions of rational numbers are what I eat for breakfast.

ETA actually, that would be a fun thing to prove....oh sh*t, that's the Dedekind Cut.....never mind....I'll see myself out.

I approximated to make it easier for you to understand. You can't win against us.

Erm... can we get a translation on that?

*Bob glosses over the Australian talk since it's not the US.*

[j_tour]

No.  I'm sure there's a wikipedia about how to formally define real numbers.  You look it up.

I don't think one can really "prove" a Dedekind cut, incidentallly:  it's more of a convenient way to describe real numbers and how they differ from rational numbers by quality.  It's a very powerful construct, as stated.  However, one can use this definition to prove various other facts about the set of real numbers, especially when contrasted with non-continuous sets.  I wouldn't know:  I just play piano.

[perfect_pitch]

No.  I'm sure there's a wikipedia about how to formally define real numbers.  You look it up.  There's also some raving queen here who pretends to be some kind of mathematician, but is in fact just a ponce and a troll.

I saw what you did. 

You should have a sit-down with Bob and tell him about the magic of embedding gifs.

I picture it as one of those heartfelt moments when a daughter asks her mother:  "Do you have those not-so-fresh feelings?"

And then you embrace, secure that the knowledge has been handed down.

Doesn't seem like such a big deal - Air-fresheners come in cans, and are like 99c each.

C'mon, you've got to be kidding me. 

It's like the back room of a shady video store up in here!

I know what you're thinking:  did I fire six shots or only five.  Well, in all the excitement I kind of lost track myself.

You do know Don Siegel was up for directing the Siodmak 1946 movie The Killers, I think he got delegated to one of many scriptwriters or an assistant director, and felt so salty about it he remade the movie in 1964?

When you get a chance, Lil Olman, which episode of AD was that GIF from, anyway?

I thought you had a rule about watching old movies, anyway? 

What does you think about some old ladies like the Pointer Sisters doing like:

Just because I know about it, doesn't mean I watch them. The quote has been repeated and re-purposed in many films and TV shows - it's hard not to know the original source.

No, Hannibal was actually speaking Austrian.  The more correct of the German-speaking lands.

[j_tour]

Yes.

They also thought they won the Franco-Prussian War, but it was just a ruse:  France was playing the long game.

Don't know, but they lost in fantastic style the 2nd time.

Sarcastic slow clap begins.

So should I ask my teacher to play which one in the key of A, or go for the easier in F?  I have to know because of on account that I have to pass a test and I only have one week to learn the song.

And is there a sheet music for the song? 

[perfect_pitch]

You KNOW deep within yourself, that if you aim to play the theme song from the 'A-Team'...

You owe it to them to play it in A-Major.

However, if Hannibal's on the jazz, can I drop it down to Ab?

But... you can't mess me up. I'll know if you change keys - it's in my nature. It's like someone telling showing you a green triangle and calling it a yellow square.

I know it's really a green mother-*** triangle...

...FOOL!!!

You say that, but if I put the theme in a minor key, and then put the bridge in some unrelated key. 

No one remains unpunished.  There will be only pain and lament!  For it is nearly the season of Christmas, and suffering will rule the days!

Downward stabbing motions with a sharp implement, applied repeatedly to the lifeless corpse of holiday music.  All will suffer!

Well, Marmite is the superior product, but I wanted to respect the differently-abled.

It's delicious!

Ezra Pound subsisted almost entirely on Marmite while he was living in Trieste, near the Dolomites.  And he was a beast.

I was going to google 'Ezra Pound', but can't be arsed as it would be a waste of my time.

They say John Wayne was a beast also, and he smoked like a chimney... but that doesn't mean I'm going to go out and grab a pack of Malboro's and copy him.

John Wayne didn't even serve in WWII.  And he had one of his lungs removed, aka, a pneumonectomy, I think about mid-career. 

Supposedly he was a good sportsman in his college days, and he made some good movies, mostly under the direction of Jack Ford and Howard Hawks, and he was an excellent songwriter and singer.

And he always wore his pants a little higher than other actors, observed Bogdanovich once.  Very graceful man.

Proof of his contributions to the audio arts?  Listen no further.  One of the most important spoken word albums of the XXth century.

Yeah - sure. America's full of people who can't sing for sh*t - so instead they bastardise songs by speaking them while smoking.

Yes, William Shatner was one of the greatest of Australians.  Because surely Americans invented Sprachgesang and Rex Harrison.

You surely did not think Bill Shatner was an American, did you?  His monarch is the present day Queen, just like yours is.

Oh, and where I can I find the sheet music for the song about The A-Team?  Is it filed under "S" for suck?  I'm just asking for a dull-witted friend of mine:  I mean, it's pretty hard to understand, in A-major. 

As a resident of a Commonwealth nation and as a citizen of the UK, you owe it to yourself to listen to what follows.  Candian Bill Shatner knows all about restraint, taste, and stiff upper lip.

I just presumed he was American because he couldn't act; much like Megan Fox and Paris Hilton.
