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

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

    A small Namibian boat, pronounced something like ‘skoyt’ [censored] Elon Musk. 

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

    A play on the words ‘skew-it?

    Some or all of the above?

     

     

    Couldn't have been the first (though 'skuit' 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 Nilly 

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

    I think you're derailing this thread.

    I always read @goodwindees as Goodwin Dees up until about a week ago. Guessing it’s a little play on words or nothing to do with Simon at all now. 

    Reckon yours was a good get; you must have been quick(*)? Like the owner of the DEES21 numberplates.

    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). Also because I have a problem with indecision and oftentimes feel like it’s me fighting me,  hence civil war. 😁

    Wow. There’s a band I haven’t thought of for a while. My old band toured with them back in 2001.

    The infinity of the internet delivers again: on a slow Sunday (though I am just about to head off to my own very, very modest band practice...) I've just checked MR's 2001 very-much-world tour schedule. Impressive, Mel! And supports my earlier DL 'rich tapestry' observation 😀

    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).

    I always assumed it was paying homage to Homer Simpson!

    We weren’t on the whole tour! Just the Aus shows. They were an interesting bunch. Not exactly what you’d call “down to earth”, but also not that difficult. Have got many a horror-story about touring with awful bands, but thankfully many more that have been great.

    I think it was within 24 hours. There’s two of us floating around as @Nashermentioned. All good though, it’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 I’ve not read it. I have a copy of it. Just haven’t got around to starting it yet. Gotta finish War and Peace first. Not joking. It’s a [censored] slog.

    Unrelated: didn’t know one can knight oneself.

    Abstemious… one of my favourite words since it contains all the vowels and they’re in order. Same as my friend whose surname is Alexiou. 

    As for @Bitter but optimistic, methinks it’s more a case of bitter and less so optimistic.😜

    @Jaded No More  although she can sometimes still be a little jaded. I say that with affection. And I’m sure she would agree. 😘

    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.

    You didn’t watch Warner Brothers Cartoons?

    At least 40 years before Homer and Monty

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
