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!!

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).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

I always assumed it was paying homage to Homer Simpson!

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

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
