Just found the scoop of the year. For all those worried about bruising their fruit, Domayne have a "banana hanger" and at a bargain basement price of $11.95. Be quick because after this there will certainly be a run on them.

    This is dreadful doggerel verse I'll admit, but I offer it as a warning to you sicko born again banana evangelists.

    Banana Poem

    A long time ago, when the world was young
    Someone put some food on their tongue
    They tasted the food, and thought it was nice
    Most fruit liked it - but banana's thought twice.

    They held a meeting at quarter past eight
    Whilst the human's were getting home late
    They decided they didn't want to be eaten
    they said "No way, we're not going to be beaten"

    So time went by, and human's got old
    Banana's got ready, for their prophets had told
    That soon shall come the dawn of war.
    Where humans will rule the earth no more.

    The humans knew not of the evil banana's plans
    They made their cars, guitars and aluminum cans
    And the banana's began to take over the east
    While humans knew not, and kept having their feast.

    But time has run out, no more hiding there can be
    Or else the banana's will kill George, you and me
    We must take up arms, and fight to the end
    Because, believe it or not, a banana is not a friend.

    Still in Brisbane trying to work out how to get out of the scrape we're in but I'm hopeful of being able to get out and visit the cheap rent hotel that CS, DM et al stayed at when they snared Mitch Clark. I hear its a bit of a tourist attraction in Brizvegas.

    make sure you visit a banana plantation jack, (but only after you have recovered the tape of course)

    I must say todays narcotic rations given to our senior citizens are a credit to the cartels they came from.

    Hunter S Thompson would be proud of todays written contribution thus far.

    I have just read four threads.

    What a depressing lot.

    We are truly at each others throats at present.

    With the exception of this wonderful thread I think I need to find somewhere else to amuse myself over the next few weeks.

    Because Demonland is depressing the crap out of me.

    Feeling really sick to day, at one stage I thought I had a kidney stone. Now think it may have been a bad banana I ate.

    reminds me of a friend Reg, he always blamed a bad bottle of beer on all his gastronomic ailments (which were many)

    he didn't believe people who told him he couldn't live on peanuts (and grog)

    Hope your friend is feeling better.

    WJ and I are off the love boat now and on the Gold Coast for a few days. We will be dropping in to the GC Suns to see how things are progressing there. They are close to Ashmores Steak House where you can apparently get a great plate of Moreton Bay Bugs.

    It's actually Ashmore Steak and Seafood but if you're suffering from Bali belly, I'm not sure that Moreton Bay Bugs is necessarily what you need to add to the system.

    Poor old old dee is already depressed today. Don't add to his woes or anyone else's.

    I suggest you take my advice and watch that programme I recommended to you on SBS tonight just after 10. It should give most of us a lift.

    BTW, only four negative posts is light on for depressing news around here, isn't it?

    You would think WJ that after all my years on this planet I would be used to the "human condition" but alas some days I succumb.

    Fortunately on most occasions I throw it off when something positive happens.

    Thank god for this thread!

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
