Articles and essays off the deep end

Many things are strange things and here are things from our writings. Interviews, adventure trails, cooking recipes and homebrew breakdowns.

The lower you go, the further back in time you venture. Delight.

Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoût

Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.

Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives

Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park

Dark and neverending is the trail of a labyrinth below Edmonson County, Kentucky. Beyond the shallow graves and lime walls, Mammoth Cave is the literal long tail of cave systems. Alas, no minotaurs or woolly mammoths call the caverns home.

Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery

If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.

Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops

It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...

Homebrew Diary - Barrel of Blackrock Pale Ale

The journey toward enlightenment need not begin in any particular direction so much as that it needs to begin at all - and if you create your own beery reality with which to illuminate yourself, enlightenment can indeed glass you in the jaw in the comfort of your own bathtub.

Kitchen Antics - Sweet/Sticky/Spicy Pork Stirfry

80% alliterative. Deliberate? Subconsciously. All normal thought stolen by the weight and treachery of the outdoor world. A world where a boy has to battle all manner of foes armed to the teeth just to find the time to get back into the kitchen where he belongs.

Return to Castlereagh

Enough to return. Enough to go back. Still, just not enough to sign up and be among the legions to call Scientology the religion of choice. And it has nothing to do with being an atheist or having something of an aversion to peanut butter in most forms.

Kitchen Antics - The Mushroom and Salami Incident

If you cook naked, and you get burned, then you're a chump, and I'll throw my empties at you from my balcony. Goddamnit, boy! Put some pants on and cook like a grown-up!

Kitchen Antics - The Chilli & Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

Als de tijd uw vijand is en u geen tijd om hebt te verspillen door dingen in de verkeerde orde te doen, bereid me omhoog door één van de bieren voor te drinken zoals afgeslagen uw groenten, zwengel de muziek aan, en organiseer uw sausen.

Kitchen Antics - The Octopus Pasta

The octopus is a cephalopod of the order Octopoda that inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean, especially coral reefs. The term may also refer to only those creatures in the genus Octopus. In the larger sense, there are 289 different octopus species, which is over one-third the total number of cephalopod species. One thing is for certain - these buggers are tasty.

Kitchen Antics - Joy of the Baked Apple

Who likes apples? Most people. Combine those people with more people and you've got a large-ish crowd. Then what happens? It's a mystery; like life. Like apples - nature's pudding just waiting for an oven, and a daring savage with a knife.

Kitchen Antics: The Peanut Curry

Once again we take a trip to Spicytown through the shiftiest back streets a blind taxi driver could steer through. Staggering out to admire the tastes and the sights and the smells while trudging through the debris strewn about an unkempt street we find our hero nipple deep in thoughts about nothing in particular...

House Always Wins

There are those who actually watch late night television for the commercials. There are ones featuring ads about ads. Others are for the phone sex and chat lines with women who don't earn enough for warm clothes. Ads with short-sighted women with hook thumbs who do nothing but SMS all day long on their mobiles. And then there are the ads for those looking to participate as audience members for a show they know nothing about.

Kitchen Antics: Lentils of Fiery Doom

Some like it hot, while others, well, don't. This dish, unlike revenge, is best served warm, or even hot, and is ideal for anyone who likes to eat. Guard your kitchen against all who would invade it with a sharp knife and careful eyes...

Et le temps passe. Et le temps passe.

Kitchen Antics: The Schnitzel to Fear
Fever dreams in the cuisine world - dancing topless on the tables of established kitchen methodologies and drinking homebrew from the bottle while watching Iron Chef and screaming at the moon... this, friends, is the only way to be.
Skinning The Sydney Kings Lion
Strutting the stands and feeding the fans with humour, hi-jinx and sheer top class entertainment, the Sydney Kings Lion is a lion's lion. With a similar vocal construct as Humphrey B. Bear, the interview with the mascot was handled in part with his go-to-guy, one Noel Dona.
Reinventing Ato
This is the result of a time lapse and too much idleness armed with a fleeting experience of the end credits to Pokémon and Beyblade.
A Sense of Achievement
Fatal though the desired result, a failure's wish to commit suicide should be commended for at least they have a goal. If then, they should fail at even that task, commendation should swiftly be replaced by that of sheer mockery in order to increase the likelihood of future success at death.
Shock and Awe with the Sounds of Coma
Petar Konakov is the lead guitarist and front man for Sydney rock group, Sounds of Coma. An interview was sought and that was about the extent of the planning. What follows features an interview session carried out over wires across one side of Sydney to another.
Time and a Half
A venture in time for 28 Days Later. The back of the double pass read, "Seating is limited so please arrive early to avoid disappointment."
Dr. Strangelove
This is a review, but with spoilers. As such, I've decided to post it as an article. You might want to watch the movie before reading this, of course, you might not. I don't know, I'm not a mind reader.
The Tutankhamun Deception
if you're gonna up and go somewhere, the promised land – He's heading unto Zion
In Full Focus: A Miasmatic Supanova
Choking on a HeroClix slammed sideways down the trachea after witnessing Supanova 2003. Stocked with a stark absence of photos, drawings, sketches and pictures.
Year Of The Horse, Sign O' The Times
This is an interview with Bluto, singer for the rock band Peabody. Don't read this if you're actually expecting an interview. There is no interview as there was no interview. Interview.
Testicle Mouse
Better Living Through Gonads - the mutant left hand of science...
Sheep Unite!
Much love and much respect to Jimmy Weasel who has safely returned to the fold.
The Cape Coast Caper (#1)
The day? January 26. The time? Common 4|4. We came, and saw, and were made aware of the savage history that is Ghana's coastline; formerly the Gold Coast....
The Akosombo Dam Adventure
"Later, i'll show you the dam site." the guide uttered. I replied "i'll bet that's a damn site downstream", thinking it amusing at the time. "yes. the dam site. enjoy the boatride". There is no room in Ghana for wordplay...
The Hubbard is Bare
An account of the bewilderment of a life over death situation generated by a simple test of values.

 

Undone, unbound, the sounds aground, life's taking the train with a soundtrack of harmonic dissonance, of inner turmoils and evolutionary spotchecking.
