hi petersj, feel free to talk up the science. I actually was a scientist! I majored in chemistry though I have forgotten most of what I learned!

[quote name='petersj' post='25680' date='Mar 31 2010, 11:07 PM']Of course it is very much like the days when a few scientists believed smoking was perfectly safe despite the evidence.[/quote]

What?... Peter, haven't you heard?



Smoking is good for you: [url="http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/wellbeing/bizarre-claim-that-smoking-is-healthy-20100329-r8el.html"]http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/wellbeing/...00329-r8el.html[/url]

Peter, ABC's The Hungry Beast (the most recent episode) put together a hilarious skit on Kevin's spin department, quality funny.

Cos he is so damn content with his slow slow internet connection, that he would say: "Hey good buddies that's what we will stay at and I'll pocket the change."[/quote]

Show a bit of emotion, you are an actor for goodness sake!



...



Peggy Lee! Well one of my other favourites is Sinatra singing "The way you look Tonight".[/quote]

I'm not an "actor" per se.



Anyway, what lack of emotion? I was rolling on the floor laughing, a very emotional act.

[iblis.raeb]

Here is something classic for the Peterses...

[iblis.raeb]

I'm still not sure i'm voting Labour (voted Rudd at the last election)... might vote Greens for a laugh... i'm really silly 'cause i'm actually a progressive.



Peter, you're voting Libs, right?

[quote name='PeterJMelb' post='25728' date='Apr 1 2010, 06:57 PM']Well then are you going to send a "smilie" to do your next audition?[/quote]

I'll actually (planning to anyway) be auditioning in a couple of weeks for a play titled "The Women in Black" probably out of my league 'cause the play only has three roles, two women and a man. The only thing i have going for me is that the play is dark and i'm a morbid fella.

[iblis.raeb]

Oh... i though you were being sarcastic about the left leaning, Peter J.

[iblis.raeb]

I sorta like sarcasm, the surliness of the tone.

[iblis.raeb]

No, not greens (i'm just frustrated and want change, all this change talk has rubbed off on me)... probably Rudd again. He is just doing to good a job at the minute. ...and besides, Abbott irks me to no end (i just want to slap him, not punch but open palm slap the man).

[glen]

I have to look that one up in the dictionary!



torpor - Being inactive or stuporous; A state of apathy or lethargy

[iblis.raeb]

I had to look up "torpor" too, the definition made mention of "having lack of energy", can't really label an ironman as torpid, 'cept maybe after the fact.

[glen]

peter! i am off to the dictionary again!



OK i am back:



Stuporous - having slow or confused reactions, as if in a stupor; groggy

[iblis.raeb]

[quote name='PeterJMelb' post='25800' date='Apr 3 2010, 11:39 AM']I meant torpor seems to be the state of T Abbot when he is answering questions or debating.[/quote]

That's just Abbott being really really calculated.

[iblis.raeb]

Yeah, i might be giving Abbott to much credit.



You're really coming out with some obscure words today, Peter. I had to, not only, look up effete but also check the pronunciation on the word (eh-feet).



....and FYI, Beasley is to busy in an Australian Embassy somewhere in D.C. to be running for government.
