#pipe

Viv I will meet you half way and let it be Winter forever.

Also hey guys grow a moustache, join my team, raise money for good causes or just donate the money to me!

marty_0001

Pipe

That may be one of the greatest logos I have seen in my entire life.

Vivixenne

no I don't want it to be winter forever

winter wrecks my skin

LaCabra

Today I ballsed around porting half-life 1 maps to unreal/ios


the shit i do for fun, you guys

hadoken

Ah Movember, the one month of the year in which I look like a South American drug baron.

Good luck with your mo, Pipe. I expect sexy pics by the end of the month.

#pipe

I'll be posting a progress gif every week.

Also WELCOME TO THE LEAGUE TO OUR NEWEST MEMBER

@PixelMonkey

Vivixenne

I can't join this league

I CALL SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION

#pipe

But you can contribute!

Fight the good fight!

With money!

SwissLion

Just make a big ol' moneystache

Add a little to the moneystache each morning

At the end of the month "shave" it off and donate it

#pipe

Also you can register as a "Mo Sista"

Blake T

I think might mo.

SwissLion

I am scared that if I let mine grow out it will become a corpse beard like my friend had after he went to Europe for a month.

It was the kind of beard the Ring Wraiths had when Frodo put the ring on.

#pipe

Excellent news!

3. A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).

Gonna grow a bitchin Guy Fawkes.

Tef

Fuck. Signed up with the company mo team. Stink.

Edit:Donation sent! Go boys go go go

#pipe

Tef you beautiful bastard. Thank you for the generous donation!

Tef

Heh my pleasure mate. I'm feeling the pencil moustache this year I think.

I'm want to see @pixelmonkey with a mean handlebar!

Donovan Puppyfucker

Re: Your question at the end of the last thread Blake:

I dunno.

#pipe

I was thinking about a pencil too

but alas, it would look awful on my round face

it's a long face look.

Tef

Well that might be me out, too.

To my mind the goal is to look stupid so you never know, I might grow one out

Blake T

That's ok Chris I called John Hughes and ultra tune at lunch.

John charges 800 (although they said About) and ultra tune charges 530.

#pipe

Where is @Hitsuraptor so I can give him a high five?

Thanks for the donation dude! They're coming hard and fast now.

that's what she said

If you know someone with an ABN and can convince them to give you a purchase order, you can get the oil and filters from somewhere like Supercheap, and take them into Repco when you get the service done. Could save you another $50 or so. I mean, you could buy them yourself over the counter, but then you won't get trade prices, so it would be the same as just having Repco use their own stock when they do the service.

Blake T

Yeah I mainly wanted to know the prices so I can say when negotiating, I need to spend 800 dollars on it next week.

Donovan Puppyfucker

Oh no, argue them down as much as they are willing to go, and then bring that up.

Donovan Puppyfucker

Have you got your finance sorted from the bank? If you can wave a bank cheque in their face, all the better.

Vivixenne

this one just got listed today, from the look of things

cheaper than the one Blake is looking at now, with a 2.0L engine (not diesel though) and fewer k's

Blake T

That's because it's petrol honey.

Vivixenne

that's why I said it's not diesel

Donovan Puppyfucker

There's nothing wrong with the petrols, but the diesels are just better.

Blake T

I was saying that is why it is cheaper.

I have been pre-approved for a 10-12k loan but it's secured against the car

Donovan Puppyfucker

Eh, you'll still do well. It's only one extra little thing to tip the scales in your favour.

Blake T

Oh, I can still pay a decent amount of it in cash so....

Fishman

At our office Movember thing last year, there was a woman who grew a moustache. It just wasn't on her lips.

At least, not the ones on her face.

Also, progress pics were not forthcoming.

Mostly it was hilarious because she was the most ordinary uninspiring officeworker mom imaginable.

And that's about as much as I know, because I really didn't want the answers to any more questions.

Tef

Isn't that what Fanuary is for?

Tef

Damnit, now I'm reminded of how my friend's mum always insists on telling us she's, 'just going to wet the whiskers' every time she goes to the toilet

Is this the mum you found dirty pictures of masturbated to?
