Chook

Exactly. You can't stop the rain. All you can do is prepare for it by bringing a raincoat. If you're especially vigilant, you will know when it's going to rain, but that is all.

I believe that was me who said that. My point being that I would play him ahead of Bartram no matter what, at this stage. Regardless of their differing sizes, I would always prefer to have Macdonald in the side.

It appears you can add Nicholson to that list. Probably spent all his holidays training, which is exactly what I'd be doing if I were gunning for a position on the senior list.

What was your best time?

Since I saw it in another thread an totally agree: "Person X says hello."

Predicting a ginormous year for this guy next year. He's still young and by my reckoning is one of only a few senior players who have improved every year since coming to the club. With his results in the 3k time trial today, I really feel that he's set up to take his game to the next level. If I'm right, I hope you all remember that I called it. EDIT: PS, Bump

He'll be known as a giant something, all right.

Ew.

You can't, like own the air, man. It belongs to Mother Earth. Peace.

"Denham's heart beats cold and black for the Red and Blue"

That's an interesting perspective.

If only I could avoid worrying about chasing money while simultaneously chowing down on express-posted $17 muesli! Kidding. It's interesting how often you hear people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness talk about how that experience has helped them find out what's really important. I wonder why humans have a tendency to only really start living their lives once they've been tagged with a use-by date.

My thoughts are that leading a diverse group of young men, many of which you have barely met, is a very effective way of improving your leadership skills.

People have a psychological need to worry about something. It's advantageous to always want to improve your life, but unfortunately our lives have become so good (or easy) that most of the crap we worry about is totally irrelevant. Case in point.

The whole Austin Wonaeamirri-turtle association reminds me of the Mony Python sketch about Two Sheds Jackson. A man briefly mentions that he might possibly one day get a second shed maybe and the rest of the world gets stuck on that miniscule aspect of his life. Wona once mentioned that he liked eating turtle, so naturally he will never be known for anything else. I'll be sad to see him go. I always thought he was just too short to make it, but I s'pose that doesn't matter now, does it?

Sage words. Most people's morals are far too flimsy for that.

It's what's called a "truism." Something that is so obvious that it really need not be said. "Talls take time" is not necesseraly so universal as to be a truism, but it is generally well-known enought that it doesn't need mentioning.

WHAT? TOM SCULLY'S GONE? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!

Zing.

He's one of those players that innately realizes that a football oval is a 360 degree space. While many fast players operate as if they were tied by a line running from goal to goal, the really nimble players know that the best way forward is whichever way will get you furthest from your opponents - whether that be in an arc or a circle or even a diagonal line down the field.

This is my football. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My football is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my football is useless. Without my football, I am useless. I must kick my football true. I must kick straighter than my enemy who is trying to beat me. I must defeat him before he defeats me. I will. Before Stynes, I swear this creed: My football and myself are defenders of my Club. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my team. So be it, until there is no Enemy, but Victory. Go Dees.

I just finished watching it.

Who's to say it does, considering anyone who might have such knowledge is totally unwilling to divulge it, but not unwilling enough to avoid bringing it up in the first place?

I'm 150-200% happy with the comment you just made. A thousand points to anyone who gets that reference.

Now that it's our second date, could I get a kiss?
