Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 The braised fruit bat I had in Vanuatu a couple of years back was an absolute delicacy. Washed down with a fine French Burgundy, it was sensational, and much better than any of their tropical fruits. ps. no Hendra virus over there apparently. Quote

Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Well 200 pages a Tribute to a little common sense in the crazy world of the MFC. Who would have thought in July 2011 we would reach this lofty height. Among many things a tribute to a simple fruit and common sense. Thanks everyone this thread has kept me sane through some very ordinary times. I look forward to the 300th page Amen to that, OD. Bananas rock ... Quote

What is going on? Might help your campaign to start eating bats Redleg.I think your opponents are painting you as a vegan who hugs trees and has no steel for the job ahead. As an advisor I suggest you remove all fruit especially that yellow fruit from your life. Then call a campaign meeting with the press and have a barbecue serving rare steak eaten with your bare hands. That should get you back on track. Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 sorry , im not voting for anyone who eats bats. Quote
old dee 24,083 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 sorry , im not voting for anyone who eats bats. I doubt you are alone bb! Quote
Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 sorry , im not voting for anyone who eats bats. But what if the fruit bats were eating your favourite bananas ... Besides, if you can eat fruit bats, the vampires of the press shouldn't trouble you too much Quote

Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Perhaps they eat bats R&B? Bat-eating vampires? Wow, that must have been a very nice pineapple, OD Then again, a Demon Lord is probably able to eat whatever its black heart wants to ... Quote
DemonFrog 1,359 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 NEWS ALERT The MFC will be drafting Gumby for its Mid Field. Quote
Longsufferingnomore 1,691 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Talking of wretched things eaten, whilst working in Taiwan I was offered a cooked sea slug. Never forget it. Disgusting. Sorry wandered off fried cockroaches, cooked fruit bats and chilli pineapple. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 I feel I am letting you all down, as I am having a piece of toast and a cup of tea for breakfast. Quote

What is going on? I withdraw my candidature on the grounds that a self confessed bat eating Demon would be unlikely to win popular support. Quote
Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 You are a tough man Deeoldfart ........................................................................... That's not what my wife called me at the time, I promise you that! Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 So what's news? Dunno. Has anything happened today? Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Dunno. Has anything happened today? Quiet day really but things got interesting on the football front this evening when the Hawks did the job on the Blues. The result proved to me that Jeff's a lunatic. Why would you give up supporting Buddy, Roughhead and co to become President of the MFC? Surely, if he really wanted a challenge, the green pastures of GWS await him. There's a certain recruiting officer in that area who could do with some mentoring and weight loss advice. Quote
