We have been going craft crazy here at the Kilbot Factory in preparation for the Meredith Music Festival. About a week ago I had the hair-brained notion that we could sell t-shirts to fund the crazy insanity, so I have sunk all my money and a little bit of other people's money into the production of 40 shirts. It occurred to me that a much safer bet would be to invest my money in the drug market; it would have been less work, greater profit and an almost certainty of selling anything I had to offer… anyways, too late to turn back now. We have a flag (left), plenty of shirts to wear, a truck load of cheap wine and one Loafa's-New-Years-style Casino Royale play board.
One thing we are lacking is a car. Fancy and Kirsty had planned to drive but their car has suffered fatal road injuries (Fancy or Kirsty may expand on this later). That leaves us kinda in a pickle. If anyone on the eastcoast has a car we can borrow for the weekend, please give me a call… history will remember your deed kindly through a power-ballad I shall pen, tentatively entitled “The Car That Saved Christmas”.
Taco says:
That's a good looking flag. He looks happy; I wonder what his secret is? I wonder if robots really have genders? Actually, sex bots probably do. Most robots only have one agenda, to kill the filthy flesh puppets. We're all fucked.

I just wanna hear the power-ballad…
AND I SHOULD BE GAWWAAAANNN!!!
LONNNNGG AGOOOO AND FAAAR AWAAYEEEEEE!
SHOULDABEEN GAWAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!
OHH CARRR (thatsavedcrhistmas) OUURRR LUVV!!
HOWOOOLD OWWWWN, HOWOOOOLD OOWWWWN!!
Sounds like something The DateRape Boyz may have come up with in the foggy light of a mid-morning-speed-bender…
theHirsch says:
Taco, did you design that logo? It reminds me of an earlier robot shirt design that you did (the one Jimmy insisted that *he* actually made… as if Jimmy has the artistic talent to pull that off!)
Barney says:
Man, that's some good solid entrepreneurship there, Bot (et al). Sure drugs would be easier, but at least you can't use all your t-shirts the night before in a cloth-fuelled frenzy and end up with nothing - or even less than nothing…
This way you get to make a little cash AND MEET the people who ran that rocky road and survived, which I feel will inevitably lead to at least one or two opportunities to trade a t-shirt or two for said drugs, which can then be ongested and used to further fuel the crazy t-shirt vending insanity…
That plan is flawless…except for the lack of fodder for a solid bender the night before. Still - good work, team! and the people demand to know - how much for one of these esteemed t-shirts??
As to driving, too bad Roland sold his - ahem - Beemer, or I'm sure you could talk him into driving duties…
Barney says:
And remember kids - ain't nuttin' better than ongestin' a few drugs…

C'mon Badge, you act like you have never seen someone air-fucking while wearing a Storm Trooper costume… that thing was par for the course in my day(s) at physics.
Now back to the t-shirts…

It's hard to know which will sell better - "Stop The Crazy Insanity" or the "Fuck Shit Up" muscle shirts.
killer says:
Oh Yeah.. Hooray! for <a href="http://www.78records.com.au/lb_index/html/129228.html" target="_blank">Henry</a>, who came through with a car. 1 Power Ballad coming your way.

Man, its a sure-seller coz punks like me lurrrv having one-off t-shirts that no other Supre-shoppin, pink-collar-shirt-wearin, metro-t-shirt-on-a-shirt-god-thats-ridiculous, can get their filthy manicured hands on!
And y'know I love the phrase "FSU" (FS University?), but its the special touches - the subtle attention to detail - and by that, I mean putting it on a muscle shirt so you KNOW there is gonna be some VB-drinkin, Gandalf-goatee-wearin, Caltex-shop-sunnies-bearin, speed-freakin, overweight Gypsy Joker who is gonna be your best friend for the whole Festival!
Big Perm, for shame, maybe you should get back to ongesting rugs!
badger says:
How about a tshirt that says one phd five referreed scientific publications two international conference presentations and a 2:20 appointment at centrelink freo? I'd wear that. Or one that says On the mul?
KL says:
Whatever you don't sell, bring to Perth. I'll buy one of those crazy shirts, and I love the robot dude.
And I'll wear the "fuck shit up" to work.
Giovanni says:
Mo fo, everyone knows FSU means Financial Services Union. My mate Morgan Janusevski was a delegate with 'em for five years.
That STOP THE CRAZY INSANITY brings it back K-Bot. I still got my STCI shirt from 2000.
Rock!
