They say penicillin cures Sisyphus these days. 

Anyway, the stories of Syphilis flying too close to the sun are apocryphal.

Personally, I try to leave no turn unstoned.  Happy Birthday to Keith BTW, a young 76 today and doesn't look a day over 90.

Hes put in a solid couple of weeks training.  He should head back to WA for the holidays and let his hair down.  

Hit the bars and clubs and show them your still king of Perth, Harley!

Hogan: (thinks) that sounds like a challenge!

He’s being well advised IMO. This is his last chance to turn his career around and make a decent living from the sport. A return to WA and a single poor decision could mean that it’s all over.

Maybe he is not being advised. Maybe he can make his own decisions, because, well, ,you know,  he knows where his career is at.

Opportunities can work two ways, positive and negative. Giving yourself every opportunity to succeed is one way. Removing the opportunity to [censored] up is another.

Bubona is the Roman cow Goddess who watches over and protects cattle.

Does she protect calves too?

 

Seriously though, this seems to be an indicator of his desire to leave no stone unturned - IF the fatted (or unfettered) calf comes to fruition then we could have unearthed a gem at little cost.

Not quite sure how my post morphed into what your post quoted mine as saying?

I'm starting to see the synergy. Hedonism at its most extreme.

The cave of the Golden calf was a famous night club in Pre World war 1 London .

"The Cave of the Golden Calf was a night club in London. In existence for only two years immediately before the First World War, it epitomised decadence, and still inspires cultural events. Its name is a reference to the Golden Calf of the Biblical story, an icon of impermissible worship."

"The building became a post office and can be seen in the background of the cover of David Bowie's album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars"

Absolutely loving the journey this thread is going on. I've never ever resorted to Dr Google so many times in a 2 page thread.

I know as the saying goes that you make your own, but surely we are due a bit of luck for something to turn out all right for once.

YES!

Can we somehow work the Illuminati into this... or does that only apply if we were to recruit Mason Cox without having to pay anything for him.

I googled the golden calf and illuminati together and it took me to some very strange places.

Could we save the Dees by writing  a new Dan Brown like novel?

In Hollywood you can hit it big by registering story lines for movies.. don't even have to write much........

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
