Are you people serious?

I'm either always serious or never serious. Can't remember which.

Conchitas Song was actually great

Is the sausage casing the joint already?

When is the next meeting going to con Wien?

Congrats Maz!!

Just think, next year you'll have all those lovely Eurovision lovies swarming all over your city. It's an honour!

It was very Shirley Bassey, that's all I'll say....

Good for her, she did brilliantly and I like to imagine Russia getting in a flap about it. Our one was good too, I think she probably deserved to do a bit better.

Mazille wrote:Ooooooo- Kaaaaay. Apparently a sausage is starting for Austria. A woman. With a beard. Then I remembered exactly why nobody I know cares about the ESC any more. You know, more power to them, but the appeal eludes me.

It did for me too for a long time. I just couldn't figure out what people saw in this cheese-fest. Then two years ago I watched it whilst getting pretty ridiculously fucking drunk. It all made sense after that...

I was at a local gay bar with friends. Of was awesome

Mazille, any chance of sharing next weeks lottery numbers with us?

Having sobered up, I still find myself whistling the Swiss one. Annoyingly catchy.

No. I need the money to leave the country.

Besides, I guess they would only pick the numbers I wouldn't want them to pick. Since I have no reason to want to avoid specific numbers, I don't think it would work.

So, Mazille, it seems like you think this was the Wurst outcome imaginable.

It's certainly a hairy situation

Aye, bit of a drag.

Less harmfull than the last Austrian with strange facial hair who took Europe by storm.

That is precisely why he chose the name, combined with "Conchita" which is slang in Spanish for a vagina. So basically the name he chose was: Vagina Penis. Apparently the German also serves the purpose of alluding to the phrase "Das ist mir doch alles Wurst" ("it's all the same to me"), which is sort of cool.
