Unrelated: didn’t know one can knight oneself. 

Neither did I until I tried it :)

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.😜

It’s funny, when I read one of BBO’s posts, I always “hear” the voice of the eunuch in game of thrones.

You didn’t watch Warner Brothers Cartoons?

At least 40 years before Homer and Monty

Homer and Marge. Simpsons debuted in primetime in 1991. Minus 40 years, plus subtract a few for working memory: Calculate your age as 96? Of course I watched Warner Brothers cartoons. Sophie Lee alone is considered to have caused a $64 billion budget deficit due to workers rushing home. 

Mine is a reflection of my very, one could even say extreme,  one eyed view of footy - but I do remain quite surprised that neither I when I set it up, nor any of the several other pedants on this site, have picked up on my misspelling.

Alexis Georgiou probably contains all the vowels you will ever need and in which way you choose to order them.

That is so facetious

Your sense of humour is somewhat different 

Foghorn Leghorn would have fun with you on the farm

Simpsons actually debuted in 1989 and originated on The Tracey Ulman show as 5 minute shorts

Is that a threat?

One can never have too many vowels (looking at you, Polish language). I reckon Polish Scrabble must be the opposite to ours. Zs and Ys and Ks would be worth jack and the vowels would be worth the most.

You’re possibly of Polish descent Skort, so you should start to learn the language. This’ll give you an idea of how you’ll go…

For me it was easy, it was the band who was playing.

Need heaps more information. The band that was playing when? Like at the exact same time as you chose the Dees?

@Slartibartfast Gotta know where this name comes from!

I used to be Baghdad Bob and before that Deefan.  I changed my name to Baghdad Bob when we were shocking, mainly under Neeld.  Many misinterpreted why I chose the name Baghdad Bob aka Muḥammad Saʿīd Al-Ṣaḥḥāf (comical ali, not chemical ali). He  was the information minister for Iraq during the invasion by the US led coalition and despite the terrible situation of Iraq at the time Baghdad was waveringly positive. I felt that we also needed to remain positive and hence the name. I kept it for a long time but when we won the GF last year the need for BB was past.

Slartibartfast, as has been pointed out, is probably my favourite character from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and he's famous for saying "I'd much rather be happy than right, any day". It seems a good philosophy to me.

Excellent, the legend of Bang Bnag Bang can live on!

The n is silent

So, the proper pronunciation is Bang Bag Bang

A productivity deficit maybe mate? Not sure Sophie Lee would see government spending outstrip taxation. Strange metaphor, but I like it!

Hi Skort. Would that be the same Sophie Lee that played the sax in the band Freaked Out Flower Children? I saw them a couple of times on a Sunday night at the Cherry Tree in Cremorne back in the day. I think she was dating the lead singer, Gumpy, before she dated Mick Molloy.

You lost me at Psychopathic Cowpoke. And pray tell the censored word after “chicken” is not what I think it might be. 
Maybe I’ll revisit this album one day when I’m bound and gagged and can’t leave the dungeon, for example.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
