The Goth Club

Click me for full sized flier

For over a decade now, the man behind Cyberball has been running a few irregular BDSM/Fetish costume theme nights. Achtung is one of those, with a uniform (particularly militaria) bent to it.

By and large I’m a fan of these events provided they’re in a good venue. Sadly, this one isn’t, being held at Inflation, 60 King.st, Melbourne, with $15 entry fee.

There are a lot of things that Dark Events does right. They’re good with promotions. Find nice DJs. Are ok at not pissing off too many of what I like to call the “fractional scenesters”. It’s just the venue thing seems to be a real bugbear. Since the Paladin effectively became closed down, and goths are effectively persona non grata at what it’s become, it’s been hard for Dark Events to become situated at a venue that is cost effective for the promoter, and not a massively overpriced, understocked shit hole.

DJs include Schism, Doctor D, Robert Cyberman, Iggy D, and Onya Box.

So it seems that Circa Nocturna is on again.

What’s intereting to note is that in 2010, the stuff that’s no doubt been plastered all over your Facebook’s right hand side seems to be the new range of labels that are appearing. (more…)

See? This guy only ranks "2 popped collars" worth of cool!

So as many of you know, I’m running a NYE party called Solstone. If you like my drinks, or the amazingly revealing stuff cosplaying weirdoes wear to comic conventions (but with the added benefit of knowing their overage & drinking) you should probably come *hint hint*.

And as far as NYE parties go, it’s actually not too expensively priced. Seen the prices for Sensation? $225 + booking fee! And for what? Sweaty skanks and doped up douchebags who you’d probably hate if you could hear what they were actually saying in their ecstacy induced haze.

But I digress…

To this week’s drink, which is sorta a little not actually going to be on the menu for NYE, but certainly had a hand in deciding what was going to be! (more…)

"It wasn't missing! I just couldn't find it!"

So by now, provided you read or watch the news, you will have heard of the amazing discovery which has allowed scientists to magically (well, no, scientifically) regrow a rabbit’s penis to functionality… presumably after they hacked it off.

Yes, scientists are paid money to remove rabbits genitals… and then regrow them… presumably. I suppose if you’re a rampant feminazi, this could actually be the best job in the world. You’re paid to hack off penises, which then regrow, and can be hacked off again. Think of the possibilities when it comes to kidnap and torture to prove your point about female equality! *cough*

But I digress.

Oddly enough, I couldn't find the actual image I was after

The rapid regrowth of tissue has long been a trope in cyberpunk fiction, such as Akira, when Kaneda turns into a hideous blob of organs, or even just tentacles shooting out of arm sockets. It certainly gives some validity to the “pixie dust” that some guy in vented in Florida, using pig bladder cells.

However, this all reminds me quite strongly of the opening of the Mike Judge flick, Idiocracy. This severely underrated flick starts by explaining how it is that the human race ends up in the perilous state it finds itself in a future of idiots: All the best scientific minds in the world are being paid far too much money to figure out how to regrow people’s hair and maintain erections for longer and harder, instead of people actually figuring out the major issues and allowing stupid people to continue to breed.

My point is that this penile regrowth is anti-Darwinian.

Seriously. I love my dick. I probably stroke it more than my pets. I would never put it in a situation where anything could potentially dismember it. To do so would be an amazing act of stupidity so intense that I believe I would richly deserve my removal from the gene pool and having to sit down when I use the toilet.

Letting guys get their dicks back after an accident in which they thought a household appliances would be a pleasurable experience kind of dismisses the whole point of the process of Natural Selection.

But look on the bright side, maybe dreams of rocketing tentacle penises aren’t far away. It’d certainly make Cosplay competitions more interesting.
