BP Staff

This is Mike. He was the manager of the BP i had to go to when working for Cobra. He was the best and looked a lot like my dad, just twice as big. He would tell me stories of all the crazy customers that would drive in to fill up their vehicles. Aside from the stories he had perfected the art of the one eyebrow raise. He also had the softest handshake ive ever experienced, which surprised me for a dude that big.
The other guy that worked there was called Chou. His head was the size of his torso and he had no neck. I dont know how he held that thing up on his shoulders. Pretty much blocked out the sun. He worked behind the counter and whenever someone went up to pay for their petrol he would greet them with a "hellooooooooooooo".

The jump punch

Me, Fraser and Patrick were walking down the street one day, on our way to the beach. There was this guy walking ahead of us shouting at the top of his lungs how he hates police and the world. We walked past him and he directed his shouting at us. We got away though. Another great picture by Fraser Burrow.

Artists Gallery

Here are some more pictures that we have drawn. We have a lot of time on our hands being poor and lazy.

Fraser Burrow

The old and wise Cat King sitting on his throne. He has seen many years.

I asked Fraser to draw me the most tired and haggard guy he could, but also make him look like he has a great love for life. This is the outcome. Sadly the whole picture cannot be shown.

A picture of a clean shaven Patrick breaking the news that he didn't get a job.

Me

Heres my take on Fraser's job and what he thinks about it. I tried to mix my own style in with the unique style of Fraser Burrow.

Patty vs. The Boss with bright ideas from the future

Here are some of the pictures Fraser has been drawing recently. He has a unique take on the way he draws Patrick, inspired by a picture he drew last year. Slowly he turns in a duck. The other guy in the picture is Fraser's boss who has the body of Cable from X-men. He doesn't like Patrick too much.



Below is the original picture that Fraser drew of Patty. The inspiration for it all.

Fraser Burrow's steak dinner.



We went out last night for tea in celebration of one of our fellow hostel resident's 21st birthday. It was some semi-posh place down St. Kilda road. Fraser ordered the steak. He went from being a ball of anticipation to being the darkest, most sorrowful dude in Melbourne.

Secret Chiefs 3 Part. II

Today me and Patty went to Rare Records where a signing for the Secret Chiefs 3 was being held. We both got an album signed each and it was amazing to meet these great musicians who were all really nice to both of us. Tonight we are off to the Corner Hotel to see them play live. Below is some pictures from the signing.
After taking the picture Trey said that I had rekindled an old memory from his childhood, specifically during Montessori preschool. There was a bully who would stick a pen up his nose and tell everyone that he had a horn.

Secret Chiefs 3 playing some foosball before the signing. Cant remember who won.

Macho Man

We were on the tram the other day and this dude took a seat opposite us. The guy looked almost exactly like Macho Man Randy Savage. He had a few piercings on his face including two in-between his eyes and a belt buckle that said 'Mustache Rides', the same one pictured above. He was a smoker and once seated he started to roll a cigarette. Once rolled he stuck it in his mouth and it stayed there, unlit, for his whole trip which was around 20 minutes.

Hit-And-Run

I went to the supermarket on Tuesday and at the one of the intersections there had been a hit-and-run accident. Luckily no blood and guts, just some dude on the ground, a little bit shaken up, with a crowd of people around him making sure he was alright until and ambulance arrived. The thing is though, he looked awfully similar to this guy me, Fraser and Patty saw on a tram last week. The guy looked like a old surf life saver that had lost his way. Rail thin, bleach blonde hair swept back behind his ears, sun damaged skin, acid wash jeans that were too big, a white singlet and a white button shirt that was left unbuttoned. He was leading some dropkick around who also had a white shirt but it was drapped over his shoulder. Reminded me of the bad guy from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Mike.....


Just a little something Patty pointed out to me while on a tram. We went back a couple of days later and whilst jumping the fence to take the picture my thumb landed in a wee pool of blood. Probably from some junkie. If only Krang was inside that robot dude he used to move around in.

Spider-man 3

On Sunday we went to a screening of Spider-man 3 that was being shown at the Village Cinemas inside the Crown casino. The film was amazing and had everything you could want from a comic book film. Bruce Campbell's cameo was a scene stealer and Stan Lee's was so bad it was good. Sandman looked incredible.

Cakes

Here is the famous bakery that Todd and Patty have mentioned in there blogs. Its called Monarch cakes, founded in 1934. The bakery loves Thorpedo with various framed photos of the swimmers life hanging on the wall behind the counter.

The Druids


After seeing the picture that Fraser took I had to see for myself what these Druids were all about. Turns out their nothing more than body massaging cafe owners. And heres me thinking I would instantly become a druid. Maybe mix some potions and cause a little chaos. They may have even given me the answer to growing a beard............ fucken' druids.

Hotel in Gotham

If there was ever a hotel that I wanted to stay in during my time here in Melbourne its this one. I was told its named after the guy that founded Melbourne. The name would either be a blessing or a curse. More of blessing i think.

The best game ever

What would you rather? is back. To all the haters......


....poos!
