The stupid questions thread.

Norco Maniac - I only meant in public, I always take off my helmet when going into banks and other sensitive areas.

sorry mate, i wasn't very clear either.

as far as i know it's not a crime to have your face covered in a public area, i mean between a cap pulled down low and a large pair of sunnies your face is fairly well obscured, yes? but i did see a bouncer tell a young guy to take his hat off the other night at my local pub. the guy was being a bit of a dick but not to the point i'd think he needed to be spoken to.

i guess with a gas mask on you could always use the excuse that it's performance art

a friend of mine has just started work at a Minotaur store, and tells me they get random cosplay drop-ins frequently.

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Is it pretentious to roll your 'R's when ordering Ravioli at an Italian restaurant?

Or is it just like a white guy from the burbs saying "S'sup dawg" to a black person?

How come when the guy at the next table to me in a French restaurant orders in fluent french he get's complimented by the owner and given some free canapes, yet when i go into my local Chinese, put the prawn cracker basket on my head, squint my eyes and go "Harro. I rike chicken flied lice prease" I get asked to leave the establishment?

the flip answer would be to stay awake for 24 hours beforehand so you sleep thru most of it.

i've done a couple of nine-hour train trips lately, and the four planes shuttle between Coffs and Adelaide. kept myself entertained with talking books and study lectures on the iPod, and having earphones in also seemed to deter conversational approaches from random strangers.

*Maybe wear really heavy woolen jumpers and thermals for a week and then when you strip down a week later the desert will seem like a cool fresh paradise.

*You will probably die if you do this... So don't take my advice

Dry heat is easier to cope with than humid heat.
I went from 33 in Cairns to 40 in Adelaide and hardly noticed the "heat" when I stepped off the plane.
