There were, undoubtedly, some great moments from the Chaser's Bore on Everything. Anyone want to re-live some of them? Share some interesting things they learned?

I went to both the ones in Melbourne. The first one was shit, the second one on later in the night was a lot funnier maybe because I had had a few beers or because Chris Taylor wasn't there. Looking back now it feels like a waste of money esp to have gone to both.

I went to both Bores in Melbourne too! (Remember I was sitting next to you?) I do agree that the second show was better. I think that was largely because the questions from the audience were better (perhaps with the exception of my very random one) and also the guys seemed to be more relaxed (without the pressure of doing another show straight after).

I only wish I went to the second one to see those girls, so I can join in the bitching of how awful they were :evil:

I think the first one might have been worse because of the questions, I mean most of them were about Today Tonight...

I enjoyed that the barrel was full of fish.

Yeah I went to the first one (the shit one apparently), it wasn't THAT shit.

But I am easily amused, so that probably explains it.

Best bit was the dancing.

I asked the question about whether the guys chew or swallow passionfruit seeds. I know it sounds a little dodgy, but I wanted to hear their learned opinions on the subject because I recently had an argument with someone about whether people chew or swallow them.

I just loved how they began to answer it seriously, Chas began to say "chew..." and then Andrew made the perceptive and funny comment that almost anything that is passionfruit flavour has to have the mandatory black seeds on just to make them look like they are, in fact, passionfruit! Then Craig told us about how Andrew hates sultanas!  :-)

Did you ask any questions Kim?

If anyone asked questions or had any questions which they didn't get answered please share!

The main thing I remember about the Melbourne Bore was feeling really uncomfortable amongst screaming fangirls at the signing. What was even more annoying was that I was there by myself, and had no one to bitch to. (Which is why I'm doing it now)

Bahaha! Remember the girls that dressed as the surprise spruiker? Complete with red shirts, black pants, spruiker hats and microphones? Didn't they ask Andrew a question too? :roll:

If anyone asked questions or had any questions which they didn't get answered please share!

I asked a question along the lines of 'After high media coverage, do you STILL get fans thinking they're intelligent for recognising you on the street?' (Because you still get a few fangirls/boys bragging about that sort of thing)

Do I win a prize? :roll:

oh, i remember that question. it was pretty lame :) but at least you didn't ask about being held hostage by today tonight :roll:

hmm, i bet all the fangirls have sultana phobias now.

i asked if there were any plans to release a cd of the songs they've done, to which they said that they'd been asked that at every other bore. how original of me!

I remember that! Didn't Craig say something like "yeah, that happens, but what's funnier is when we have people who pretend they don't know who we are, they do a segment with us and later they admit that they do in fact know us."

:lol: Your prize is..."Your question was a lot better than mine!"

I wasn't there but I saw photos. I thought they were good because it was original in the sense that as much as people copy all the segments, no one had done Suprise Spruiker before. We've seen a thousand Mr 10 Questions, ILWAMs, etc before- unlike Suprise Spruiker.
