Falafel Stop


 
For all those who say that we definitely missed a dinner spot on Gouger Street:

It was Triton's fault. 

That dude was, like, heavily starving by the time we picked him up. Tess had to restrain him from consuming someone's leather handbag.


I can haz invisibl hand bag!!
So we did make it to Falafel Stop for dinner. 
Eventually.
However, we were first forced (by Triton) to stop at the very next place that served food for a small snack.


Triton: Small snack. Everyone else: Competitive Eating Rounds 1 to 5
The Crown & Sceptre were most accommodating and they even had boobs on the wall to divert attention from Triton's gulping and swallowing.

AAA-OOO-GAH!!! Dinner time!!


When we made it to Falafal Stop for dinner, we found the selection be broad and delicious and Mele needed much time to weigh our post-pre-dinner "snack" menu options. 

While Triton appears to be sedated, seconds later he launched himself at glass and the treats beyond like rabid eagle.
The menu essentially boiled down to different combinations of filo, nuts and honey. All of which were delicious. None of which we (excluding Triton) were able to finish.


"Then Ah'm onna eat dat purty liddl camera too ..."


Falfel Stop was a highly impressive place to eat with friendly staff and many things on the menu which we were too scared to try in case Triton ate them from our fingers.

Bring on Concubine!

    Does Triton bite, chew and swallow like normal people? Or does he simply inhale like a vacuum cleaner?
    The Falafel place looks yummy. You said it's in Gouger street?

    Where does Triton put it all - he looks fairly pin thin to me.

    And - urk, it hurts - is he wearing a CARDIGAN?

    And - still urk, still recovering from the visual shock - how much did you have to pay the unwilling concubine to peel that off him?

    River - He's more like a magician: one second the food is there and the next ... well, it ain't.

    Kath - He processes it all as energy focused on digesting the next meal.

An explanation of The Joy Division Litmus Test

Although it may now be lost in the mysts of thyme, the poll below is still relevant to this blog. In the winter of 2008, Mele and I went to live in Queensland. In order to survive, I bluffed my way into a job at a Coffee Club.
It was quite a reasonable place to work: the hours were regular, the staff were quite nice, it wasn't particularly taxing on my brain.
There were a few downsides: In the six weeks or so that I worked there, there was about a 90% staff turnover (contributed to by my leaving). This wasn't seen as a result of the low pay, the laughability of staff prices or the practice of not distributing tips to staff, rather it was blamed on the lack of work ethic among Bribie Island's youth.
However, one of the stranger aspects of the cultural isolation that touched our lives during our time "up there" was the fact that nobody at my work had heard of the band Joy Division.
The full explanation is available here.
But please, interact a little further and vote in my ongoing poll. The results are slowly mounting up, proving one thing: people read this blog are more well-informed about Joy Division than anyone who works at the Coffee Club on Bribie Island.

Have you heard of the band Joy Division?

Chinese food, not Chinese Internet!

Champions of Guess The Header

  • What is Guess The Header about? Let’s ask regular “Writing” reader, Shippy: "Anyway, after Franzy's stunning September, and having a crack at 'Guess The Header' for the first time - without truly knowing what I was doing mind you - I think I finally understand what 'GTH' is all about. At first I thought you needed to actually know what it was. Don't get me wrong — if you know what it is, it may help you. I now realise that it's more Franzy's way of invoking thought around an image or, more often than not, part of an image. If you dissect slightly the GTH explanatory sentence at the bottom of his blog you come up with this: “The photo is always taken by me and always connects in some way to the topic of the blog entry it heads up.” When the header is put up, the blog below it will in some obscure way have something to do with it. “Interesting comments are judged and scored arbitrarily and the process is open to corruption and bribery with all correspondence being entered into after the fact and on into eternity, ad infinitum amen.” Franzy judges it, but it's not always the GTH that describes the place perfectly that gets it. “The frequent commenters, the wits, the wags and the outright smartarses who, each entry, engage to both guess the origin and relevance of the strip of photo at the top (or “head”) of each new blog and also who leave what I deem the most interesting comment.” It generally helps if you're a complete smartarse and can twist things to mean whatever you feel they should mean - exactly the way Franzy would like things to be twisted." - Shippy Blogger and GTH point scorer.
