    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 

    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

    The infinity of the internet delivers again: on a slow Sunday (though Iย amย just about to head off to my ownย very, veryย modest band practice...) I've just checked MR's 2001 very-much-worldย tour schedule. Impressive, Mel! And supports my earlier DL 'rich tapestry' observationย ๐Ÿ˜€

    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

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0โ€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win โ€” something they havenโ€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyโ€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearโ€™s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ๏ปฟA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.ย  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the โ€œFuchsias.โ€ They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
