This frivolous thread went sideways with emotions and stuff. Original guess as to what I was before I became Skort:ย 

A skirt and suit fashion ensemble, pronounced as a .portmanteau?

A small Namibian boat, pronounced something like โ€˜skoytโ€™ย [censored] Elon Musk.ย 

A deliberately bad transliteration of the word for crazy in Khmer: sh-goot?

A play on the words โ€˜skew-it?

Some or all of the above?

ย

Couldn't have been the first (though 'skuit'ย did become 'skort'...); the word 'fashion' gave it away.

@Sir Why You Littleis paying homage to the Warner Brothers Cartoons i grew up watching (and still watch today!) I decided to Knight myself a few years ago, when Tony Abbott was throwing them around Willy Nillyย 

Still cannot believe that Abbott was Actually The Australian Prime Minister for a period of time. Sends shivers down my spine!!

Neither of those, EO.

Lyrics from a band called Mercury Rev (their name belies their music; they produce the sweetest songs not unlike The Flaming Lips).ย Also because I have a problem with indecision and oftentimes feel like itโ€™s me fighting me, ย hence civil war. ๐Ÿ˜

Wow. Thereโ€™s a band I havenโ€™t thought of for a while. My old band toured with them back in 2001.ย

This is such a mind-bending post. Did you just third person yourself? And 'why you little' I think most people would assume is a Simpsons' reference. I have a five-hour layover in Thailand soon, I think we should meet and discuss (can you please distract 'you know who).ย

We werenโ€™t on the whole tour! Just the Aus shows. They were an interesting bunch. Not exactly what youโ€™d call โ€œdown to earthโ€, but also not that difficult. Have got many a horror-story about touring with awful bands, but thankfully many more that have been great.ย

I think it was within 24 hours. Thereโ€™s two of us floating around as @Nashermentioned. All good though, itโ€™s only the best moment ever and all.

Here was me thinking Nasher was a big fan of my work knowing all my previous names before letting the cat out of the bag re. How to search for it.

It goes back a lot further than Homer. Although he was another great comedian (The First 8 Seasons especially)

Embarrassed to admit Iโ€™ve not read it. I have a copy of it. Just havenโ€™t got around to starting it yet. Gotta finish War and Peace first. Not joking. Itโ€™s a [censored] slog.

Unrelated: didnโ€™t know one can knight oneself.ย

Abstemiousโ€ฆ one of my favourite words since it contains all the vowels and theyโ€™re in order. Same as my friend whose surname is Alexiou.ย 

As for @Bitter but optimistic, methinks itโ€™s more a case of bitter and less so optimistic.๐Ÿ˜œ

@Jaded No Moreย  although she can sometimes still be a little jaded. I say that with affection. And Iโ€™m sure she would agree. ๐Ÿ˜˜

I always thought Jaded was a person whose name was Jade D. I know she got married recently, so I just assumed she took Mr No More's name as hers.

She's actually one of my favourite posters with a nice mix of logic and passive aggressive (and sometimes downright aggressive, but never abusive) posts.ย

You didnโ€™t watch Warner Brothers Cartoons?

At least 40 years before Homer and Monty

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itโ€™s time to discuss this weekโ€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverโ€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line โ€ฆ Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubโ€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubโ€™s perspective, and the teamโ€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonโ€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed โ€” roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.ย  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
