@msharp @mobywhale What, what? I didn’t know @maxine was leaving! Oh no! Definitely a sad farewell. 🙁
@VenessaHunt @lemon_lime Ooh, who’s that?
@alfinitum I for one welcome our new fly overlords.
Tonight’s Halloween cooking involves pumpkin pavlova. That’s right, haters. IMMA GET ALL PUNKIN SPICE ON YOUR NATIONAL DESSERT. SUCK IT.
@drkknits Nah, it’s essentially a normal pav, but you top it with a custardy pumpkin mixture. I made it before and even @gilmae liked it. 🙂
@drkknits I’m also making pumpkin baklava too, which is a new one for me. Sure you can’t come? 😉
@gilmae Hmm. Pumpkin lamington. Filing that idea for next year….
@gilmae The Snook was just musing how you could make a pumpkin lamington that incorporates real pumpkin “like a pumpkin scone.”
@gilmae Now we are debating the philosophical question of whether coconut is the defining characteristic of a lamington.
@redambition I got a membership. If you drive, I’ll get you in. Win win! 🙂
@gilmae @redambition WTF is a surfie boy? Siri was stumped. Rodd said, “No idea. Bloody Queenslanders.”
@redambition @gilmae Ahh, he recognised sunny boys. (Autocorrect fail I assume). But his mother didn’t let him eat fun things like that.
@gilmae Isn’t that… just… pumpkin pie?
@gilmae Haha! Yes! We’ll take it however we can get it.
@stufromoz @drwitty_knitter I know all that. I still think it’s silly and hypocritical when so many Oz/Kiwis embrace other U.S. things.
@stufromoz @drwitty_knitter In other words, I think Halloween hate here is now its own tradition. And that’s sad because Halloween is fun!
@stufromoz @drwitty_knitter There are so many worse examples of US cultural imperialism that should be protested instead that aren’t.
@stufromoz @drwitty_knitter Yes. I read every bit. It’s a regurgitation of many other articles I’ve read over the years.
@stufromoz @drwitty_knitter Halloween = online whinging every year, but not McDonald’s or Big Bang Theory or Justin Timberlake or Simpsons.
@stufromoz @drwitty_knitter I’m not saying I don’t agree with the argument. Just that y’all are fighting one of the BETTER imports.
@drwitty_knitter I am smiling through all the photos of kids in costumes on my FB wall. So even without them, it’s pretty fun. 🙂
@drwitty_knitter I mean, my nieces as Charlotte and Wilbur? Cutest thing ever, right?! http://t.co/pIaynDWdGK

@stufromoz @Maab BOOOO! I’m in Sydney and I’m going to wish people a Happy Halloween. Probably while wearing a Boba Fett helmet.
RT @sharonw: Halloween can get really resource-intensive when it falls on a Friday. I needed four separate costumes this year o_o
@stufromoz @Maab *sigh* It always makes me sad when Aussies selectively decide multiculturism sucks for American stuff.
@stufromoz @Maab Halloween is awesome! What’s wrong with costumes and parties and food? Cutting off your nose to spite some Yank faces. 🙂
@stufromoz Uh, nowhere does U.S. claim to be Christian. It’s deliberately NOT in the Constitution. Our head of state is of head of a church.
@stufromoz @Maab The awesome thing is that Halloween came from immigrants. Something the US picked up from them and celebrated.
@stufromoz @Maab Australia could perhaps learn something there. 🙂 (Now no more arguing. I have to get my costume ready!)
@stufromoz Unlike, say, here. #pot #kettle

@stufromoz @Maab Well, you’re not gettin’ an invite to the Totally Rad Halloween BBQ, that’s for sure! 🙂
Odd, I never see Aussie lefties complain about Chinese New Year parade, Parramatta Deepvali Fair, Eid in the Park, etc.
But it took all of six minutes of being awake today to see the “Halloween sucks because it’s American” meme rear its head. 🙁
I mean, I get the “drunken assholes use it as an excuse to be drunken assholes” thing. But that goes for everything, right?
It’s not like I tell my Irish co-worker not to say “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”.
@mobywhale Thank you! I tell @haruki_t and Varun that all the time. 🙂
@gilmae Oh, I see it and I get it. I really do. But you can pry my pumpkin pie out of my cold dead hands! 😛
@gilmae I just don’t get why the solution is banning American stuff instead of encouraging more of everybody’s stuff. I want MORE PARTIES!
@gilmae I always say I’d LOVE to go to Diwali parties and Burns Night parties and Bar Mitzvahs and everything else. Why not?
@gilmae Oh, ignore away! I got all ranty over a silly meme of Batman slapping Robin for even daring to say Happy Halloween in Australia.
@mintie Yes! Exactly! 🙂
@mintie @handmethepanda @gilmae I am with you 100% on coffee.
@gilmae I should start a #halloweengate hashtag. THEYRE TRYIN TO TAKE MAH HALLOWEEN AWAY! 😛
@pinkcatknits Thanks! 🙂
@fitbit Got your email with offer for new devices, but when I click the discount link, I get a 404. Any ideas? 🙁
@fitbit Nevermind. It’s because my store was set to Australia. Once I changed to US, it works!

YOW! Night talk on “instantly better presentations.” Looking forward to getting some tips! (@ Optiver) https://t.co/tlhT0MFeqV
“Competence is the key to confidence.” That’s where success in presenting starts. #yownight
Discussing possible evolutionary basis for primates modelling response on individual’s behaviour. Interesting. #yownight

ARGH. ONLY TWO DAMN DRESSES LEFT FOR #FROCKTOBER AND I BROKE THE ZIPPER ON THE ONE I WAS GOING TO WEAR TOMORROW.
@kattjera More of a winter ensemble really. Damn global warning made it tricky to fit in! 🙂
#frocktober day 28. PINK! Homemade Hazel sundress from @colettepatterns. http://t.co/Zn5KEXn0MD
@railey180 Damn, I’ll be on holiday for both. Thanks for the tag though!
@kattjera Thanks! The fabric is weird – I didn’t realise when I bought it that it crinkles no matter how much you iron. That annoys me.
@drkknits WTF does “family meals” even mean? Just the fact that we eat at home at the same time? THAT’S JUST BECAUSE WE’RE TIGHTARSES.
@randomknits Oh wow. Hope you’re okay. How did you know it needed to be removed? I am paranoid – never been to a dermatologist.
@randomknits Rodd says it’s mostly you Aussies who have to worry, what with your childhoods coinciding with ozone hole.

@yow_oz Fantastic – thanks! Now to think of a topic. 🙂
@drkknits @randomknits Just as bad here. One scarf and one strip (for the blanket) thus far this year. 🙁
@drkknits I did? Well, they’re mostly more work than they merit in deliciousness. But I couldn’t resist the novelty of an actual kit.
Ooh, @randomknits, what do you think of this? I think I like it. http://t.co/UIsoF2qNMm
@randomknits Yeah, my worry too.
