If you claim to have never heard Crazy Frog’s “Axel F,” it says more about you than it does Mr. Frog. This about virtue signaling that you are better than entire genres of music, that your friends are not in the custom ringtone game.
The Age is extremely horny for our local candidate here in Shepparton.
I just want a videogame that feels exactly playing Ultima IV for the first time at age 12 in a school computer lab. That shouldn't be too hard, surely?
My mate Tank did some portraits of Shepparton locals and for some reason included me in the mix! We had the unveiling last Sunday and they're up in the Shepparton Art Museum now while the Archibalds are in town.
