What about Alpacas in Bandanas?

Let's not let a 'D' get in the rode of the theme. Could we get these ladies as the pre-game entertainment? Even Ben-Hur might be happy. I'm thinking that Instead of scarves, we could issue members with red and blue bandanas. And the players could wear them to look like badasses.

I think soon we might have to add No MN$ to the thread title.

Some of my friends think Cognac is fire-water. It does take a reasonable mouthful to lubricate and get over the volatility before you can really appreciate it.

Cognac. Might as well go out in style.

The drought breaks.

I've experienced lots of revolving doors.

Call me if you want a boot studder or doorman.

Was there ever a computer called the Banana? I know there was a Peach.

Jeremy Howe doesn't do it.

Andrew Walker's mark last night should have been penalised for the two hands planted firmly in his opponent's back.

Toby Greene should be asking for a million bucks a year.

At least we weren't embarrassed by Simon Buckley. He's a "former Collingwood" footballer now. "A former Collingwood player with a shocking driving record told a magistrate that his licence was essential in his bid to regain a spot at an AFL club. But moments later, it was again suspended. Simon Buckley yesterday pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended licence and at almost 20km/h above the speed limit in July last year. The 25-year-old defender - delisted by the Magpies in October - told the Melbourne Magistrates' Court he was an unemployed professional footballer and needed his licence to travel to games for his new club, Echuca. He was playing there "in order to regain a spot on a football list". Magistrate Duncan Reynolds said Buckley's prior drink-driving and speeding offences, plus this offence, illustrated his "apparent casual attitude" towards the value of having a licence. Buckley, who represented himself in court, said his licence was suspended last year after he had exceeded the permitted total of demerit points by accepting some of his brother's driving offences. Mr Reynolds warned him that falsely taking the demerit points of others was a serious offence. Prosecutor Senior Constable David Lee said Buckley was detected travelling at 99km/h in an 80km/h zone on the Monash Freeway at Burnley on July 31. Buckley, who played 13 games for the Magpies last season, told police he thought his licence suspension "had been sorted out". He had no reason for exceeding the limit. He was convicted and fined $1800, his licence was suspended for one month, effective immediately, and he was ordered to pay $107 in legal costs. A Collingwood Football Club spokesman said Buckley's delisting was "entirely football-related". Herald-Sun

Please keep reporting on bananas. We can't let this thread be overtaken for total pages by the "Tanking" one.

This thread doesn't have a topic. It only has one prohibited topic.

I see the Hun thinks it's newsworthy for Swan and Thomas to dodge a hold-up by walking past 45 minutes after it happened. What's the next headline ... "Swan and Thomas dodge collision by driving past road accident one hour later" "Swan and Thomas dodge drowning by swimming at beach on same day man dies" ??

Bananas are ripening very quickly at present. Must be the warmer weather.

I've got diesel.

You can play with Kim Jong-il. 18 holes-in-one.

It's worse if you've got a few thousand hectares of crop to harvest. But it will be over in a week. Bananas take about 9 months.

Is diesel fuel the new bananas? Can't get any D$.

Hopefully Watson is fit to bowl, and even more hopefully, he lasts the whole match.

Which thread will have more pages by Christmas ... this one or the Caroline Wilson tanking one? Odds?

Just make sure his girlfriend stays with him. (Ouch.)

He was found in a tent with a schoolgirl.
