If there was a three person draft and the MFC had pick 1 which person would we pick?

Was it because people did not want to live in NSW or was it another reason (see 1851 map) ?

From 'Jimmy Fallon' last week ...


Love the fact that 7mate are running re-runs every day. Recently saw the library inspector episode - classic stuff.

Yep, Gv, some comedy just never dates.

I make sure I watch a lot of new comedy shows such as Broad City, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Saturday Night Live & Silicon Valley but reruns of Frasier, Lead Balloon, Curb your Enthusiasm and a number of other US & UK productions just can't be beaten.

Comedy thread you say? You guys are treading on some ambiguous territory. Most of the football conversation on the main board ends up becoming a comedy thread.

I started viewing some of these Youtubes yesterday and had a great time and your comment that some comedy never dates is so true. I somehow ended up watching some Jonathon Winters' (Mork's son if I remember correctly) standup routines from 1964 no less? Just about [censored] myself laughing!

I've got to post up some more Jonathan Winters stuff - he truly was a genius.

You may have seen the following clip but for the benefit of others ... features both Winters and the late Robin Williams

Great stuff. I had watched that clip when Jonathan died but still gets me going. The one that got me in fits yesterday was from the Jack Paar tonight shows from the 60's. I had never heard of him but he was before Johny Carson. The skit was Jonathan doing a take on your typical scary movie, so he does a great impressionist voice of Boris Karloff as the mad scientist in the haunted house with a demented housekeeper etc.

I am a techno ignoramus so have no idea how to load up the Utube link but it is a gem!

Here it is ... btw EH, to post up a youtube link - just highlight and copy the address bar for whatever clip you're wanting to post up - then "paste" it over here (you've got to "right click" to get up all your options)

It will initially appear here as the writing on the address bar but upon posting, the link will magically appear ...

ABC has recently started playing repeats of the Aussie comedy "Problems". Which reminded me how funny Samm Simmons was. He made it onto Conan Obrien's show last year and did some great segments on "Dirty Laundry". There's also a standup show he did on ABC that's available on youtube.

He reminds me a little of Andy Kaufman, just because he can be so obscure sometimes.

We seem to have gone Cyrillic all of a sudden here! Aguitte I don't agree with what you say but I defend your right to say whatever the hell you are trying to say I think, if only I knew what that was.

It took years of ASIO training for me to come to this conclusion.

Shockingly thin contribution when weighed against previous works but this from Christmas bonbon and not entirely without merit I am told

Q.

How do you turn a dishwasher into a snow digger ?

Give her a shovel


Was reminded the the other day of a couple of beautiful sledges from years gone by.

1.

Mark Waugh to James Ormond: "Fark me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here? There’s no way you’re good enough to play for England.”

Ormond back to Waugh: "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player in my family."

2.

As Daryl Cullinan came out to bat, Warne told him he had been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. Cullinan replied: "Looks like you spent it eating."

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
