Welcome!

Welcome to Ears On Stalks! The blog for sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies and dickheads. And bogans. Here in Melbourne we have the lot, and they’re all saying crazy shit in public places.

Do you find yourself the unwitting spectator to life’s rich tapestry? Always on the receiving end of the daily dramas on your train? If you hear some damn funny dialogue outside the law courts, or in line at Lord of the Fries, or waiting at the doctor’s for your STD test, or when lurching past the Casino at 3am, why not become a contributor?

Drop me a line at my email, which can be found on the profile page, right. Then you can upload things whenever you like. When I, er, figure out all that malarkey. Perhaps you have a one-off comment you can’t keep to yourself? If you want to just email your hilarious anecdote for me to upload, then do that too!

And if you’re not from Melbourne but overhear some drollery I’m sure we can bend the rules a bit. Let’s face it, weird stuff happens from Broadmeadows to Burkina Faso.

Lend us your ears!
