Rest assured, you don’t need additional learning or honing. You’re nailing it as it is. 😁

Would welcome an explanation  (wrong answers also welcome) 🙏 

It's about not mentioning a Dees' traitor, who was our pick number 1 in that year's draft and any other matter that is not absolutely accurately proved beyond all doubt and otherwise discussing every other topic that has been, is now or will be in the future.

You have zen-like explanations like "You must unask the question" and "Embrace the essential nothiness" and "It is in asking the question that you will find your own answer". Perhaps you can ask "What is it about this thread?" rather than "What is this thread about?". Or, like most of us here, you can just shrug your shoulders, accept it is a mystery and join in the fun!

Note that this is the only thread on Demonland that can't be derailed, by definition ...

For today's question to ponder " is margarine more or less yellow than butter"?

It’s about whatever you want it to be about.

From what I understand there’s only one topic that’s NOT under any circumstances to be discussed, and that’s T.S. The ‘No BS’ part of the title is exactly that… BS, coz there’s a [censored]-tonne of BS strewn throughout the thread. In fact BS forms the very foundation of the thread. Without the BS this thread would be lucky to reach two pages in length.

Anyways, ima introduce an unpleasant topic, that being Shingles. Because I’m currently afflicted with the dreaded Shingles. Not the shingles on a roof, nor the sign outside a professional’s practice in days of old and not the women’s hairstyle from the 1920s. Nope, the Shingles of the I hope I’m well enough to go to Sydney on Thursday variety. 😢

See? This thread is about whatever you want it to be about. 

You have my sympathy I have had Shingles it is terrible and very painful. Any older person should get the vaccination to ward it off. No idea when you got it but it usually takes at least two weeks to return some sort of normality. Good luck but I think you might be watching on the Tele.

It’s actually white, they colour it to look like butter.

Yeah nah, not an option, OD. If I have to drag my sad n sorry [censored] up the steps to get on the plane, so be it. I’m not missing being at this match. I have only a mild case and I’ve done everything I can for the past week to get better. I’m going to Sydney no matter what.

Good to see that you've finally given up your protest at games with those bags of dollars.

You made a good showing Sir.

Only kidding. I did admire that guys dedication. Kind of on par with those grand prix protesters.

I never threw any money at him, GWS did that and he got plenty.

I don’t admire anything about him.

Margarine is basically pure white until they add dye.

Fun fact - Margarine is an extremely dense energy source and while it is difficult to light, once it gets going it burns powerfully with a LOT of black smoke.

This lesson was learned the hard way in Sweden when a truck transporting a shipment of margarine crashed in a tunnel. The petrol caught fire and the flame was intense enough to get the margarine to light, at which point the entire tunnel had to be evacuated immediately.

On the bright side, they drove two more trucks through; one full of salmon and the next with potato and herbs, and at the end everyone had a lovely dinner.

Less yellow before the dye, but often more yellow than high quality butter until the butter has been exposed to air for some time and developed that rich yellow colour 😍 I'm hungry now

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
