obviously 40 000 is known as a guesstimate as to how long humans have inhabited the harder to get to bits of australia. 40 000 turns up a lot in scientific values and astronomy too I reckon. And relic film titles.

Meanwhile Ai Base 40,000 ponders over a 6 sided dice.
So humans get off on 6 packs / 6 Hot Cross Buns....
Wot...yer gonna tell me there's a basesix out there somewhere...
And like he's dreaming about a world where he ramps up to a Base 40,000 model.
OMG these swellnet bloggers are a laugh...bet they can't even count to 40,000...huh!

Ok! tbb is weirded out by very inciteful...perhaps tbb dropped too many hints...
Can't hide the fact that tbb is worried about his health...True! Going thru some heavy tests!

Pretty sure basesix requested 40,000 songs...is that right!
tbb like most of the crew are all long term BOC fanatics...
Thought we might brave a totally freakish cover...(It's Ok! Settle down! Geez!)
tbb screened dozens of applicants...should be safe enough.
Most...many great bands...tried to re-own it...failed miserably...

Thankfully the most absurd version come out on top...can ya live with that...
Groupies know the classic can't be improved...so why not strip it back! Love it...Let's Rock it.
OMG is tbb really going thru with this...thought he was joking...40,000 are gonna die!

err No! Don't think so!
Tribute stands up well in time...calling this a win for Groupies...they come outta this without a scratch!
Plenty of contenders stepped up and fell by the wayside! Not these Groupies! Claim the Title! See Ya!
Like wot just happened there...got taught a life lesson tbb...Not wot ya do but how ya do it...Shit Hot!
