Title: Re: [Article]About The Chaser team Post by: . on September 29, 2006, 09:16:07 AM well wiki..(googlectual cap ON!) says the following are all meanings of "chaser"...
A chaser can be: * Somebody who chases somebody * A player in the fictional Harry Potter sport Quidditch * Toyota Chaser, a car * The Chaser, an Australian comedy group * Chaser (video game) * Captain Chaser, the English localized name of the One Piece manga series character Smoker. * A piece of music played or an inferior vaudeville act or motion picture presented to induce an audience to leave * Someone that follows logs out of the forest in order to signal a yarder engineer to stop them if they become fouled -- also called a frogger * A horse trained for steeple-chasing * A ram that has only one testicle * A type of dragonfly * A tool used for cutting the threads of screws * One of the edge-wheels which revolves in a trough, to grind substances to powder Shipping * In the form bow chaser or stern chaser, naval cannons pointing forward or aft and used in ship chases * A ship which chases another * A small, light, usually single-seated aeroplane of great speed and climbing power, used in repelling hostile aircraft Slang * Someone who is not a bear, chubby, or otter (slim, hairy gay man), but is sexually or romantically attracted to them * One who chases women, a woman-chaser * (1990s) A frequent user of crack-cocaine * A prison guard * A usually either a non or lesser alcoholic drink consumed immediately after drinking a potent liquor, to dull the harsh taste of alcohol As you can see, there are so many wonderful options to choose from! I've highlighted my favourites :) I always thought it was a reference to 'ambulance chaser' - a satirical swipe at the journalistic style of the daily terror et al. but i'm just pulling that out of my arse and have no idea really :-) i kinda like the 'ram with one testicle' meaning though :lol: Title: Re: [Article]About The Chaser team Post by: gregor on September 29, 2006, 12:18:10 PM Does anyone know where they come up with the name "The Chaser"? I remember Charles pitching the name to me waaaay back when I was working as a designer on a local newspaper in Bondi. I can clearly remember the first, single page mock-up of the paper. This was back in 1996 - 1997, I think. I can very clearly remember asking Charles 'What the fuck does the name of the paper mean?' I cannot remember his answer.

Because you read it after reading the 'proper' newspapers... Fits with their logo having a glass on it anyway. :-) Title: Re: [Article]About The Chaser team Post by: . on October 02, 2006, 09:50:44 PM I've heard that it's that one.

It might have something to do with the way it is drawn -- liquids stay level in a glass when the glass is tipped.i always just assumed it was a top hat for some reason ahhaha no idea why :| Title: Re: [Article]About The Chaser team Post by: . on October 03, 2006, 02:18:02 AM It might have something to do with the way it is drawn -- liquids stay level in a glass when the glass is tipped. maybe it is level. maybe it's just been sketched from a strange perspective :P Title: [Article]About The Chaser team Post by: King Sir Doogie on October 06, 2006, 06:17:44 PM hi i don't care what it looks like but i hope it's not stalking me
