Don't fuck wid da family...

Heather's ramble about being some crazy member of the family got me thinking. If NZM was a family, what member would everyone be? It's been referred to in posts over the years but I don't think there's ever been a topic (noizy or aka feel free). Make your claim and then (and this part should be much more familiar) shit all over others who disagree.

Yep - this is cliquey, wanky and self-absorbed... which is why it will be such fun for 'the regs' oh ho ho.

I'll start with an high profile one. I reckon manamana is the older teenage brother. He hangs out in his room with pearl jam and nirvana posters (just remembering my childhood) and when you go in he'll tell you to fuck off, but he doesn't want to leave the house quite yet... stirring shit with dad is a bit too fun.

Forums: The Bar,

PEARL JAM?!? please - Def Leppard

Now jimi, run up to the shop and buy me some lollies - i'll time you.

//run up to the shop and buy me some lollies - i'll time you.

Oh my god, I'm so right...

mm not really, my dad is a Glasgow street fighter from way back - he will fuck me up.

Is that lena o?

//my dad is a Glasgow street fighter from way back

my dad could beat up your dad!!!

I'm the pesky kid from nextdoor!

My dad will put on his McGyver sun glasses set a trip wire for the boy next door which inturn will set of a small explosive in manamana room only for him to finally come out of his room to find the pervy uncle who inturn will offer him some specail lollies that jimi hooked up for him earlier and then they chase Mcgyver and fall down a well placed hole with bits of sharp wood at the bottom (i learn't that one from mum)

I'm the pervy uncle, fresh outta jail, with no teeth and a drinking problem.

you're my favorite uncle

You're a little shit, but you're a funny underage drunk.

(Don't tell yer mother I gave you that sherry)

No where's your sister?

I'm the innocent younger brother of the pesky kid from next door who gets unwillingly fondled late at night by just-released-from-prison-uncle with drinking problem...

But don't worry, it's our little secret

Until later years, when using doll as reference I will have to show the court where he touched me...

nasty nasty nasty!

im the one in the corner.. mumbling to myself about the cast iron roofin that keeps talkin to me..

stefan's the eldest brother that disappeared off to university and now only attends major family functions. Noone really knows exactly what degree it was he did but we're all quite sure it ends in -ology.

jimi's the little cousin that comes over and plays every now and then, and the older girls all can't help but wish he was a bit older because man, he's such a sweetie, and he's going to be a total spunk when he grows up.

Aka's the aunty that speaks sternly to you in front of your parents, but then when they're not looking winks at you and gives you lollies.

Dust is that amazing uncle who loves giving his neices and nephews the bestest up to datesest gizmo to play iwth dispite protests from the parents about how much time the kid spend on them.
Lena O is the evil old great aunt ( that you wouldn't dare call aunty) who accidently on perpose walks on all the noisy toys the young kids got for xmas.... she doesn't care that the kids were enjoying them, the sound just gets on her nerves
Heather is the stunning, intellegent maiden aunt who always brings a new boyfriend to every gathering, all the younger members of the family think she is nearly as cool as she really could be, all the married aunts watch her carefully and all the married uncles tend to blush and giggle when she is near.

Megaccino is the cousin who sits off to the side watching, playing with her lap top, she spends a most of the time in silences but will from time to time come out with funny snide comments about the fools in the family, and by the end of the gathering she has most of the cool members of the family absorbed in some sort of game on her lap top, while the rest of the family carry on totally unaware of the fun happening under their noses.

lena o's the cousin's pit bull that gets chained up outside for the duration of any social event, then terrorises all the toddlers on their way in.

I wanna be Tony.

You so are.

I jsut got sent this advertising for viagra.. wierd

The wheel goes round and round, some are up and some are on the down, and still the wheel goes round.
This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.

Heather's the popular older sister who gets all your parents' attention.

pft your was shorter so went up faster, mine on the other hand will be read 1st :P

i am the smart ass little sister who gets away with all manner of dodgy behaviour and who everyone else thinks is spoilt ... oh wait, that's the truth

But that's who I want to be, jess! Wait, add in "attention seeking" to my description.

and "misunderstood"

Heather, yeah, but... the older (not much) sister with a stormy life, you know ... in the line of Bette Davis in one of the best melodramas in black and white.

You, Joanna, heather's friend, both of you liked to empty ur father drinks cabinet, playing to making up, and talking secretly about this and that boy...and u concretely, about the size of the "apparatus", here a.k.a. "package", ... perverted.

and jess, u seems much more like the hardworking lawyer younger sister, who frequently have to go to the police station from where Ive called you. "I swear it ... I didn't do it" and we glance at each other knowingly.

I like to exaggerate. :D

noizy's the resident older son that turns up from a day at the beach with a whole stack of good looking and well-presented mates in tow, has a coupla beers, converses animatedly with every single relative about every single topic they bring up, then heads off into town with his mates. After he's gone, every single parent, without fail, turns to the nearest child and says "you should be more like your cousin".

Joanna's the tearaway youngest grownup sibling whose parents now say "yeah, she caused a bit of trouble when she was younger, but she's made good. She knows how to apply herself".

christianity's the skeleton in the nzm family closet. One time a long time ago he turned up at one gathering, offended every last grownup, dazzled a couple of the 13-year-olds (who still laugh about the whole evening, out of earshot of the rest of the family), then just - well, that's all anyone remembers, or cares to discuss... Noone's quite sure where he is now, but either he's in a drug rehabilitation programme, or he's started up his own cult.

yeah and i'm finding the rehab patients and my cult complement each other nicely.

//noizy's the resident older son that turns up from a day at the beach with a whole stack of good looking and well-presented mates in tow

Limegreen is one of those mates. A little more interested in rocking the boat, he will call up noizy's Dad on his contradictions and inconsistencies. But everyone likes having him around the place - they feel more intelligent by proxy... although there is a slightly mysterious scarfie/boozy element to him that belies his otherwise dry demeanor.

//Limegreen is one of those mates.

Ahaha! Good call! Also myshkin.

ha I have always seen him, as the drunken older uncle who wears lampshades on his head and is a dancing fool, he like all older uncles has an eye for the lay-dees, but he has the bestest music collection, which he always is willing to share at parties.

you can some times find him in the living room with big stu and aka having a good old "remeber the days", but he is far to cool to be there too often, esp if there is fun to be had elsewhere.

Aka's obviously the mum that everyone wishes that they had - firm (but fair) when necessary, and caring at all times.

yeah, ... Aka is the mama..., but well..., a mix of mama and the hippy’s maiden aunt: lovely but with “secrets” under her skirts. In a fairy tale, she would be the Witch, (south’s witch, of course), but the good one.
But much more funny, in a brothel, she would be the Madamme, smoking sensually with a long cigarrete holder ... I wonder who would be the “visitors” and who the provocative “workers”.
This would be a much more funny post: in a brothel, who would you be?. I think I would be the cook... personally I met a brothel’s cook, and his life deserved a book. Anyone wanna be the person in charge of the "house"?

I'm rambling again, sorry

ps: just to defence my dignity (or not) ... I have never "used" a brothel's "services".

*cough* te-i-na *ahem* um, before we all get edited by the great editor in the sky....

Ahhh teina's the prudish old spinster aunt!

nah, thats just too far from reality (virtual or realworld) to work.

think more along lines of greater power than alpha sister...

teina = working soccer-mum, looks way too young to be shuttling three kids to the park on saturdays.

yeah yeah, geeze i was getting to it.......... god someone take the teeth out of my arse :P

Teina is the mysterious partner of uncle Dust,( it is not well known that she, in fact, picks the gifts that he gives, but leaves people to think it is all his work)
She sweeps in to gatherings from time to time, and every one just stops and watches her with their mouths open, more often than not dribbling,
she has an aura of power and strength with just a hint of scary. She the one with the hip flask, that she shares with the cousins when the parents aren't looking.

Joe is thier mate, he always brings a crate of speights and you can pick him in the crowd by his blue and gold truckers cap, he will be found in the kitchen, leaning on the fridge, engroosed in talk about rugby, with some of the more blokey male family members

and who is the prudish old spinster aunt! ????
time to out yourself.

lucifer sam was disowned at the age of 7 when he o/d nana on mushrooms at her 80th birthday. he currently sells tinnies for tclak

yes manamana i was, and again yes my grandmother is a drug dealer. (sarcasim)

all membs & mods make up the daughter & the spirit- & these 2 are contained in me to make a 3nity

I'm the hobo who goes through your rubbish bins at night..

Big Stu is the Uncle you look forward to hearing from, or can rely on for a straight answer regardless of wether you care for what it is.
Jet Jaguar, is the cousin whose into the shit you no little about, but you can trust to be informed and paitiant.
Christianity and Rdor are twin brothers. Inflammorty, informitive and interesting, all the while never agreeing on anything [ oops, seldom agreeing].
Lena is Mum O. Saul and myself have known that for a long time.Can you spell Odipela?
Jimi is enthusastic cousin, always good to catch up with to see whats taken his passion/ intrest.
Lcjamo is the child of all of us who neglect our parental duties to post on this site.
With that I must attend to other matters.

you're our hippy uncle foal, making regular visits from the coast, always up with the play and willing to inform us of the latest conspiracy. You got us into some fab records from way back and you're the one who organises our games of back yard cricket

yeah, Foal30 the uncle with who u have the best politicals discussions... but just an excuse for empting his whisky bottle (Lagavulin I hope so...)

im the lovable town drunk/pothead...i make airhead remarks which resemble jeff spicoli.

I am the Black Sheep!

I'm apparently the middle child that everyone forgets exists if they're not looking directly at me. I'm the same color as the wallpaper, and have the same name as my older sister.
