Redleg 42,164 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 A pet cockatoo. Now fancy that! As a near neighbour, I always thought the loud screechy voice belonged to she who must be obeyed! No that was Kennett the cocky. BTW Mrs. Redleg is not amused. Quote

mauriesy 7,444 Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Let's not let a 'D' get in the rode of the theme.Could we get these ladies as the pre-game entertainment? Even Ben-Hur might be happy.I'm thinking that Instead of scarves, we could issue members with red and blue bandanas.And the players could wear them to look like badasses. Quote

daisycutter 30,021 Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Good idea, we use the Hawks membership numbers rort. Yes we sign up our Alpacas, budgies, turtles, hamsters etc and suddenly we are a major club again. Sponsors will see us worthy of of their sponsorship dollars with our huge data base. The AFL will once again see us as the major club we once were. I will even join up my pet cockatoo with the loud screechy voice, who we named Kennett. i knew a girl a long time ago who had a cockatoo those were the days ...my friend 2 Quote

Redleg 42,164 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 As we near 200 pages and 5000 posts, I think, for only a second, we should reflect on the post MFC career of that person, on Ablett like money up West of Sydney. Saturday, another typical day at the office, 13 possies at 60% effectiveness. Oh well back to bananas. 1 Quote

Saturday, another typical day at the office, 13 possies at 60% effectiveness. Oh well back to bananas. Have not seen one for two days Redleg which is sad in its own right.Even as we sit at the bottom with a crap list we did the better of that deal. Thank God I have finished in the chair for 4+ months. Today while the game was on as I sat through 110 minutes I thought hell this way better than being at the MCG. How bloody sad is that! Quote

Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I think we need to change the MCG seats to banana lounges. We will steer away from pies and chips and sell banana fritters, banana splits, banana bread and cake, banana mousse, duck a la banana sandwiches and washed down with those healthy banana smoothies. I will get the trumpeter to play the banana boat song and have the bananas in pyjamas selling raffle tickets at the games. Every new member will get a free banana . I will get this club moving again. That might get the team playing like the Bananas in Pyjamas. Oh, hang on ... :-) Quote

Grapeviney 9,929 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Was in McDonalds this evening and noticed at the McCafe they were selling Banoffee cake... I can only presume it's a banana / coffee combo. Could there be anything more repulsive? Please, Redleg, tell me you're not a banoffee man ? Quote

Could there be anything more repulsive? Please, Redleg, tell me you're not a banoffee man ? I stand corrected, sort of. Google tells me banoffee is a mixture of banana, cream and toffee Only slightly less repulsive than a banana coffee combo Quote

Sounds like an interesting combo. I am prepared to try it. Quote
Redleg 42,164 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 For those interested I have a runner at Seymour thursday at 11.03, named Starcrazy. If not too heavy he should go ok. Quote
Yossarian 1,820 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Best banana crepe I ever had was sitting in a cinema in Hong Kong with only me and an old guy smoking up the back and coughing occasionally watching a horror movie I understood none of in Cantonese. I still remember the creamy banananess of this crepe and the genuine smile of the woman who gave it to me. Bananas are truly the king of fruit. Quote
