Today's venture into Dublin city resulted in a moment of thought provoking comedy.
The Comedy:
I decided as it is a Saturday and (at that point in the day) the weather looked good that I'd gather a few Jabba The Huck players together for a little Frisbee throwing, in my favourite park The Iveagh Gardens. well the first problem was that someone it seems had discovered this secret park (which is very well hidden from the rest of Dublin) and they had decided to hold some sort of comedy festival there. So myself and my Jabba buddies had to settle for the tourist infested St. Stephens Green. To be honest i have a lot of time for tourists, but a few years ago i militantly hopped on an anti-tourist band wagon and soon found myself steering it.. so I'm going to have to remain in that position to avoid many difficult questions.
Stephens Green was great. despite is being about as Indie as Christina Aguilera's thong. Because things were going quite well i decied to do more complicated and longer throws... one of which over shot a bit while QED was chasing it so of course he tried to stop, at that point he slid on VERY sloppy mud and turned horizontal. this would probably have been fine if he wasn't going at speed. QED became feet first human missile. Luckily for the other people in the park, he wasn't aimed at any of them. But he did manage to disappear into a large bush. He emerged a few seconds later to uncertain laughter and sporting some recently disturbed leaves.
The Thought:
While this was amusing, it could so easily have been a disaster! QED is certainly not Indie, in fact i'm pretty sure he only tolerates me being around it to reassure himself that he's doing nothing Indie. well what if he HAD been Indie! well a good pair of flares could have been ruined, a snazy second hand hat would have had to be washed, loosing that "old" smell that makes Indie hats so unmistakable. what if it had been ME! it's a thought to terrible when you consider i was wearing my oldest and favourite, green belle and sebastian t-shirt.
my message to you.. try to compromise when playing sport, you may fly unexpectedly into a bush!

Cool thing you got going on here mate. I wish you all the best. Thanks for the comments, didnt want to put too much details as it might get confusing and people wouldnt get the joke. thanks for the army link anyway :D
ooh, and yeah, I was wondering is Bright Eyes kinda indie? 'cos i listened to them quite sometime ago, nice meaningful lyrics they have.
thanks for the input...i was thinking of trying out ubuntu OS to see how that is...i'm not that familiar with lynx but i'll definitely check it out. thanks once again!
Well Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst), by definition is Indie being a member of the Independent record label Saddle Creek. Conor has done a lot to promote the less know artist on the label by doing all sorts of collaborations. i respect that, i also like a lot of songs from Fevers and Mirrors (The Calendar Hung Itself... is very good)
The calendar hung itself is really a catchy song; using words form the song you are my sunshine is great. also, the joy in forgetting is neat although the copy i have is kinda sketchy.
