Hi TPunkers

My name is Adam and I'm a 20 year old Melbournian who has started very early planning for a European extravaganza. Even though it's a long way off (probably close to a year away) I figured it's never to early too start learning. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing in your adventures. I have a tendency to talk to much so let me know if I'm boring anyone.

Cheers

PS I don't like emoticons but that one seemed appropriate...

Welcome to tpunk! Planning a trip often times gives me more spine tingles than the trip itself - it's an adventure of a psychologial sort for me anyway, so enjoy planning away. :P

Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm mildly embarrassed that I got my to's and too's mixed up in the first post but I'm sure we can put that behind us and move on.

Stay Classy

Duke, as a goddamned Doctor of Journalism, you had best be not getting your to's and too's mixed up. Perhaps you're too twisted on God-only-knows-what to know, but round these parts if you don't get it straight, we'll put the damned leeches on you.

Oh, and welcome. I was just admiring the shape of your skull. Would you like a beer?

Yeah, I know I'm guilty. I understand that. I knew it was a crime and I did it anyway. Shit, why argue? I'm a f*cking criminal, look at me.

Jesus, did I just say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? .....Can they hear me?

Good to see another HST fan.

How bout some Ether? .......Nevermind

What now?! What's next??! What's the score here, man? Had we descended to the level of dumb beasts? Was there no communication in this car?!

Ahh, devil ether. There is nothing more depraved in this world than the throes of a deep ether binge. Makes you act like the town drunk in some ancient Irish novel. And I knew we'd be into that rotten stuff sometime soon...

Agreed. Not enough Thompson fans on here. If you check my gallery you'll see my Halloween pictures from last year... you may see one of those goddamned flying rodents, too.


Personally, I travel with a well-worn and dog-eared copy of The Rum Diary... and just finished reading The Great Shark Hunt again... great stuff. True grit, and we are chock full of it, man!!

Welcome Duke! You're definately not the one to start researching his/her trip early, not by a longshot. Try 2.5 years for me .

Don't worry about the grammar police on Tpunk, because there isn't one!

raoulduke

Thanks again for the welcomes, my first thread ever is officially a "Hot Topic"
The Rum Diary is definitely a favourite of mine, my front cover is very barely attatched after years of abuse.

You'll hear from me in the drunk thread very soon and I apologise in advance for whatever lurid tales I may tell.

Cheers

Look here, man, a Doctor of Journalism should at the very least have his grammar down pat or else be confused with a goddamned waterhead from the sticks. Even twisted on every manner of substance known to man and beast a Doctor of Journalism should have his gear in order.
