Yeh Maxibon is the T1000 of Monaco Bars... Used to love Monaco Bars... It always irked me when I couldn't remember what they were called and people kept trying to tell me that I was thinking of Eskimo Pies...
Our family used to buy these blocks of ice cream, about 15cm by 10cm each individually wrapped in wax paper. You would get one and slap it in between two wafers of the same size to make an ice cream sandwich. We thought it was the best invention ever.

I remember the first time my friend gave me a (sour) warhead... What I thought was a nice gesture turned out to be a heinous experience...

Thats right, those bloody warheads. They used to have really hot ones as well didnt they? If memory serves, you would buy a pack and one in every five or so would be really sour or hot. It was a bit like playing russian roulette with lollies.

I gave a sour one to my pop who didn't bat an eye. I then gave him a hot one and he went nuts. I laughed my head off.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Hey doc, I have a medical question. My wife has recently been ill and went to the clinic. The doctor gave her a medical certificate for three days. The clinic rang us up to inform us that her work rang the clinic to enquire about her medical condition (without our consent)? My wife went back to work yesterday and they want her sign her this form that gives Coles the right to access her medical history. The doctor rang us and told us to tell them to get faaarked! A medical certificate should be enough?

I would have thought so. I never write what the problem is on a medical certificate.

I said the same to my old man, but he just laughed at me and chucked back another stubby. But to his credit he game me enough coins to keep on playing 1942.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

It was the other way round in 1942.

1945, on the other hand, seems about right.

I'm angry, Begs. Christmas angry.

I just hate people who share rubbish on Facebook without even doing the quickest five second Google check it takes to disprove it as total rubbish. And then idiots post on it saying "Oh, that's awful" and "What is the world coming to?" and it just makes me want to punch kittens.
