Gross. The peanuts were loose, as in, not in sealed packaging?

Reminds me of this:

The sex life of a man based on his age…

20-40yo - tri-weekly. 
40-60yo - try weekly. 
60yo +    - try weakly.

😁

Notwithstanding the other, self-deprecating responses, I must stand up for myself and say...well, and say...well...

Oh, look, there's a puppy!....

Possibly that last word, BBO, provided other deteriorating factors allow brain and appearance to provide the memory and opportunity, respectively, to attempt the second-last word...

This thread has morphed into Memory Lane.

Very nice; thank you, everyone (you all know who you are 😊 ) Guess it's good to get 'em out there before they disappear!

Yoyos re-appeared every year through primary school and into secondary. Clever, Coca-Cola Company. Their annual return, along with that of marbles (in the myriad ways they could be played) was, for a child, actually more certain than death and taxes.

Well ok smart [censored] ..... it was from YouTube

You are a brave man calling @WalkingCivilWar a smart [censored].  I note she has yet to post a retort.  Perhaps you have succeeded a never before achieved feat:  making her speechless or she is dreaming up a doozie of a response.  Methinks the latter!!

I’m actually flattered by BBO calling me a smart [censored], Luci. It’s the nicest thing he’s ever said about me.

Is that why you keep on the right side of that deranged lady? Smart man. 😉

Well, it’s the sinister side, as the Italian for “the left” will suggest… la sinistra. When it comes to BBO both sides of me are sinister. ☠️

Haha WCW, not really. i tend to keep on the right side of Jaded - because she scares me. You on the other hand, I just enjoy, because i never know what will come out of that mouth of yours next. I don't think even you do at times.

You’re not wrong! My smart mouth has got me into trouble many times. But then it’s got me outta trouble many times, too.

PS: I’m scared of Jaded, too (isn’t everyone?!). And I’m only confessing that because she doesn’t read this thread. At least, I sincerely hope she doesn’t.

That’s definitely why I don’t tag her. I value my existence too much. But just in case she does venture here in a momentary lapse of sanity… geez, she’s a wonderful person. 😁

I'm not really scared, just smart. No sense poking the bear (no offence intended Jaded!)

The absolute love of Jaded’s life is her adorable cavoodle whom she cherishes more than her husband (true story). His name is Bear… so maybe choose another figure of speech. 😝

Gee your family were doing well in the 70s with a trip to Hawaii.

I thought Lakes Entrance was pretty Cosmopolitan back then and as far as we ever ventured barring our all out campervan holiday in Merrimbula.

Sure beats Mordialloc

Can’t let that one pass, Jontee.  I feel compelled to defend the honour of my childhood and teenage stomping ground!

I haven’t been to Merimbula and its been decades since going to Lakes Entrance.  But other than a nice beach they just don’t compare to the Mordi beach precinct at that time. 

My memories:

  • A real Carnival; a mini Luna Park with a Ghost Train but sans the Big Dipper  The ‘Dodgems’ were the best rides!!  Always did love driving cars fast! 
  • The Shindig dance on Sunday nights.  Johhny Farhnam and the Strings Unlimited performed there occasionally.
  • Fishing off the Mordi pier if one was so inclined.
  • Parents buying fresh fish straight from the sea from Mrs Pompeii’s gate at the Mordi Bridge; it was an illicit business I believe.  Apparently the gate is still there.
  • Just about the best and cleanest stretch of beach on Port Phillip Bay being north of the Mordi Creek.
  • Trapezing up the Mordi creek to pick blackberries and catch tadpoles.

All in all the beach precinct was an idyllic place to spend one’s childhood and teenage years.  And in latter years a refuge in times of trouble,

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
