Default Melbourne Cup


Can you believe next week is Melb Cup week? My, my... how time has flown!!

So what are your plans? Will you be trackside, fascinator in tow? Does your office shut down for "The Race that stops a Nation"?? Will you be having a bet? Who are your tips? What are you going to wear?

So many decisions!!

I'll be minding my sisters place for the day so people can come to her place and do stuff. Hopefully they'll be hot.

Supposed to be studying but I think I'll have the TV on and sportingbet.com.au open on my puter

I fucking hate the Cup...such a boring day if you aren't into putting bets on or horses for that matter.

That and living near Chapel Street makes it worse because we end up with drunken slags stumbling down the street clasping a bottle of bubbly in one hand a cheap nasty ciggie in their mouth screaming like banshees, barefoot holding one of what was a pair of high heels with spew caked hair.

Then you got the guys who are on a mix of booze and uppers running around like fucking morons punching eachother's teeth in due to accusations that kinda sound like "Stop staring at my missus you c*nt!"

Actually that sounds like a normal Saturday night out in the CBD or Chapel Street haha.

At my work we are having a Drag Queen themed day.

Considering I am the only male in the office- I will techincally be the only one wearing a 'costume'.

It's a really stupid idea- but I'm gonna go as Lady Gaga and shock the shit outta them

I love Melbourne Cup. Drinking begins at 10am. God knows when we'll finish this year

I am yet to win ANY money from the Cup though. Argh!

OMFG timbo- I just put the entire outfit on.
It's not too bad, even if I say so myself.
I've never worn drag before, but havent gone all out on dress up party for ages.

The Fuck me boots are unreal, and I can pull of a chicks body funnily enough.
It's a really slutty dress, and it's made me realise I have really girly arms.
LOL

I'd never be a drag queen though. It's too much work, and I'm too fucking lazy.
I am a pretty rough looking bloke, so I make a rougher woman.

My only wish for melbourne cup day is that they give Lillian Frank a nice coloured saddle cloth and clean sand for her to roll in at the end of the day.

My work used to supply drinks and food. Now "GFC" means we all bring "picnic" lunches and they supply limited alcohol. Fun times. Ah well.

If one more fucking patient says to me "Oh no I can't come and see you on THAT day it's Melbourne Cup" I'm going to explode. You've got a festering foot, it's touch and go as to whether we're going to be able to save your leg and you want cold chicken and passion pop. Fuck you. And here endeth the rant.

I hate Melbourne cup. It brings out all of the Western Sydney hobos on a week night. I feel sorry for people who actually live in Melbourne on this horrendous day.

I did win 20 bucks a couple of years ago, that was alright !

Yesterday we got the email that work will be putting on drinks and nibbles (probably a packet chips and a bottle of passion pop to go around 130 people), and there will be a prize for the female with the best hat/fascinator and the male with the best tie (?).

Not sure whether I should sue them for sexism, homophobia or both. Anyone have any ideas how to glue a fascinator to a shaved head?

Viewed (1), Shocking (21), Roman Emporer (6).

Box it. You can also substitute with Daffodil, and maybe Balsatico.

Alcopop is mine and I did the myster trifecta of Mourilyan, Daffodil and Allez Wonder, as well as the office sweep of Leica Ding and Capecover. So I'm destined to lose out one way or another.
