Galaxyman, along with about 50 of his accounts, was a guy from Melbourne who would make rather comical rants about Melbourne's weather, especially in the "crummer".

He frequently called it "subarctic", compared overcast weather to nuclear holocaust, and hated "Perffffff" and Sydney for having better weather. I sometimes read his old posts, they're hilarious.

Anyway, Portland is 11ºC right now with stratocrapulus nuclear holocaust slate gray skies.

This guy sounds funny, how did you come to find about him?

Before I made a C-D account I lurked a lot of old threads and happened to come across a lot of his rants.

Looking up "Failbourne", "stratocrapulus", and "perffffffff" (with a varying amount of F's) will bring you to some funny ones.

It's 41ºC in Melbourne today... hope he's happy. Except he probably isn't because the next week is low 20s.

Sad

I had expected it would be gone forever, tbh.

I also have a bunch of screenshots of the rantings of his socks.

To think that these are only the tip of the iceberg.

He sure loved his chicken... as was his username in one rant where he wanted NASA to drop an asteroid off the Perffffff coast because they were getting warmer weather.

And “arctic”... I’m pretty sure that with Melbourne being at 38°S it probably doesn’t get much arctic influence, considering all that warm tropical water that the arctic airmasses have to pass to get to the Southern Hemisphere.
