About Random Brainwave

Random Brainwave was founded in April 2006 when the drunken gambler and failed gay icon John realised his current blog was, to paraphrase, really shit. Thus, he set out to make a blog that would be deemed by all and sundry to be less shit, and several years down the track several people would agree that he has met his goal, or at least they would if given financial incentive.

Not content to smear his good name all over the Internet, he decided to drag in two friends, because, to quote Madonna when she snatched up the African orphan: "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me". Thus, writing student/sex icon Tom Violence, and film extra AJ (formerly Prophet) were added to the roster and made an immediate impact - they drank all John Surname's moonshine.

In March 2008 Chuck A. Spear was added to the line-up after John won him in a poker game and promptly chained him to a computer for one thousand years. Lily was also briefly added in 2008 due to AJ's whinging insistence. When she proved to be crap John wielded his iron hammer and fired her arse. The internet applauded.

The future...?
Many people don't ask what the future holds for Random Brainwave. Frankly, no one knows, and with good luck and a fair wind they shan't have to. Meagre finances permitting, RB hope to move to their own domain (www.nakedgirlswithblenders.com), as John Surname believes porn is the only way to make money on what he describes as this "internet malarkey". Tom Violence and Prophet are currently planning a class action suit against Panadol for some reason or another, journalists rightly suspect they need the money.

Either way, the future is assured, if only because no one has invented a time machine so we can all go back in time and stop this train-wreck of a blog from actually having ever been created.

The name
The blog is named after the Godley & Creme song Random Brainwave for some reason. It seemed like a good idea at the time. John still regrets not calling the blog Something Ribald, No Doubt. Now that's comedy!

Who We Are:

John Surname

John is the founder and editor-in-chief of this blog. He toils away unskillfully in unskilled labour, and occasionally pops by Uni. When he isn't working, blogging or book learnin', he comments on other blogs complaining about his syphilis. On weekends he can be found at the Masonic Hall, doing unspeakable things with goats. John is also the last remaining member of the Australian Democrats, and expects to be leader within the week.

John also writes for GrodsCorp.

The capitalist gears of Random Brainwave are oiled with the blood of the occasional contributors:

AJ

Part-time extra, full time abuser-of-the-English-language AJ has been writing Internet rants since before it was invented. After growing tired of his difficult-to-update site, he joined RB where he now posts his world famous rants with the added comfort of knowing they're being read. Prophet works for The Man and can often be found bitching about how much he hates his job to strangers on trains. If you come across him please call the National Terrorism Hotline.




Chuck A. Spear

Chuck once protected Australia from Muslims and Leftists in the army. After a disonourable discharge he came to Melbourne where he now cuts John's lunch blogs in a lax fashion. He does have a picture but John accidently lost it when re-writing this page.

Tom Violence
TV is an elusive writing student who sometimes stops sleeping with groupies long enough to pop by and tell it like it isn't. He currently resides in regional Victoria.

Please note: He doesn't have a picture as his image isn't able to be captured on film.
