I have denigrated this thread a couple of times. It took me a while to get the gist of it. I just thought the contributors were a little off the grid and a tad peculiar. I've just arrived in the midst of banana land and thought I'd put in my two penneth's worth. 

Just a question. Is page 1000 only open to the select few or can any mug have a crack at getting on it. ??

ps Signorellis in Balwyn are unloading ' experienced ' bananas for $ 2 per kilo if you get in quick. ( and they've got some lovely Italians ladies on the till ) 

Pity I did not know that this afternoon PD I was it that area. Oh well I will have to continue with the $5 / kg lot in my area.

bingo.....congratulations good sir

Page 999 - [censored] you Scully I hate you just as much at Hawthorn as I did a GWS. Look forward to booing you this year if your ankle is up to it.

Max Gawn is one of if not the best players in the league and you are worthless as far as trade value. So glad he spewed on you in China it has improved our culture.

Wrecker that name is not allowed on this thread it is the prime reason the thread was created.

There is only one person fit to click this thread up to 1000 pages.

Mr Leg where are you?

Settle down folks - it was a simple suggestion.

And by the way, as a moderator, the page count visible to me also includes deleted posts which means that the thread has officially reached 1,000 pages.

Congratulations go to Mr. Leg who tells me that he initiated this thread as a humanitarian gesture to save the western suburbs of Sydney from Chico Rolls, dim sims, potato cakes, French Fries and flavoured malted milk shakes (other than banana flavour). 

Give yourself a jolly good flogging WJ.

 

And then give one to Ernie!

You missed the irony in my original post.

Just a little entertaining social experiment with an outcome that was totally predictable. 

How whacky off-beat posters suddenly become establishment conservative and resistant to change. 

So defensive!

Look at the Greens now. Just middle class establishment and not a radical or fresh idea in their kitbag. 

Bananas and a patronising deviant becomes the new normal. Even Rakeleg is sounding so establishment. And Daisy what has become of you ? 

How many posters post or visit this thread. A dwindling number I suspect because it offers nothing new or interesting. So it has become the repository of the few whose habit has become a life sentence.  

Just a mundane example of what happens when you challenge the status quo. 

We need new posters and new thoughts otherwise this thread will die an ignominious death. 

Some may predecease this thread. 

 

If we need new posters...they will manifest.

Bananas 

You see...if you bold it.....they will come

Don’t get me wrong I love the loyalty of Old Dee and even Old Bitters whose spunk is clearly waining but who reluctantly posts to maintain relevance. Rakeleg invented the thread and regards it as some authorative source or text like Mabo. 

Others drop in for a titillating massage but are eventually disappointed with the unsatisfactory ending. 

All things must end like life and civilisation. 

There is a higher authority in things, in this case WJ. 

Gentlefolk, we cannot control much in this life, in fact we cannot control anything. 

Things must change, things do change. 

Very soon your mortal bodies will be dust and this thread forgotten in the mist of time. We will not be remembered or our posts. 

So submit yourselves to the end. 

Celebrate change, new life and new beginnings just as you will do in your next life.

Sorry I skipped over the first thousand pages.

Has your cellar run dry Ernest ? Is this the cause of such maudlin introspectivity ? 

My god man.. start drinking again !!

Now Wrecker....sorry my friend you'll just have to go right back to the beginning  ( its a very good place to start  ?)   . There's no way to fully appreciate the madness insanity drivel illumination insight pixelated-profanities humour, without so

The big question is where is Mr. Leg at what should be his moment of triumph?

My information is that he has, as Ernest implied, hit the wall and fled the jurisdiction; that he is on a vessel travelling the high seas with a rod in his hand in true Hemingway fashion. I can picture Ernie's next novel on the bookshelves at my local bookstore - "The Old Man and The Sea - Part 2".

Ernest I have only one question in relationship to this rambling story.

How much rum had you consumed before it's creation?

Philistine!

On a different note, I'd like to inform my faithful readers of a new (and never to be repeated) experience that befell me on Saturday last.

I made my first ever trip to aami Park to attend ……………………. wait for it ……………… "Monster Jam"

A truly memorable couple of hours.

No Old I quit rum and other hard licquor many years ago. How do you think that I reached such an old and venerable age. Despite Uncles comments I am fit in both spirit and body. 

Your earnest fightback Old is admirable. Enough to keep the thread going for a little longer. I am prepared to concede defeat. My only problem is that it allows Uncle to ventilate his deviant thoughts and fantasies. 

Do you think you could moderate your banana boasting comments?
