Ok Crint. It's a long shot and I'm chanelling BBO here, but here goes: How many more Penfolds and Henschkes do you have hidden away there? Do you have a spare room, preferably with unhindered access to the cellar? And this is the BBO bit: will your wife do tricks for the lodgers? It would help by giving you some income to offset the cellar depreciation charges!

Monsieur (Herr?) Riedel will be most annoyed! A champagne glass when a 'proper' red wine glass would be a minimum requirement.

Well, there's low, and then there's subterranian.

BBO & Jazza, I think you guys have been well and truly told! OD reckons you're sad old farts. Can't get much lower than that.....

So at every other house the kids get to the front door and say: "Halloween! Trick or treat?" At BBOs house the say : "Hello - geez!! Quick! Retreat!!!"

And lemons are $1.20 each. We drop the spuds so we can draft more lemons. It's the circle of life. Hakuna mutada.

You're on the list R & Bluebeard. I like the thought of an alpaca hacking an ISP account. The 'lads' are growing in my estimation.

You're on the list Biff. Struggled to think what you've pulled. Certainly not punches.

And I sympathise re calf muscles. Done a couple of those in recent years, plus a hammy, broken ankle and broken toe. Field hockey is not a game for softcocs as I have realised.

Trust me, there's a fair bit of adrenaline when careening downhill at over 70kph on a bike, or when a car pulls across in front of you and brakes hard to turn left.

Further help required: who has pulled what? Redleg - a fetlock? Moonie- ??? Earl - a princess?? Deluded - ?? TSFKA - a pectoral?? The Fl og - a frogette? Biff - a script of yellow pills from the Fitzroy St pharmacy? R&B Bluebeard - a whisker? Fire away..... Edit - how could I forget our artistic amphibian? Edit 2 - ditto for Biff Edit 3 - ditto the Beard

Seems BBO may have pulled a brain muscle. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Crint has pulled a cork, Jazza has pulled a teat and DC has pulled a pensioner!

Ok I get it. A Kyneton Estate. Still - a Henschke though, no matter what the pedigree.

Hooley Dooley! Address details please Crint? Mt Edelstone? Abbots Prayer? Surely not a Hill of Grace?

Or back to DisneyWorld (Dee-luded).

Or the cellar (Crint).

Well I might be bro, but I think all the old folks have gone to bed by now. Or someone else's bed (DC) Or the stable (BBO) Or the dairy (Jazza).

Holy Barassi! It's true! You are the Optimus Primes!

Geez. You guys sound like you're from the Brut 33 era. Or - Norm Smith forbid - Hai Jakarta! I'll give you some credit and assume you don't go back as far as Old Spice (1st time around).

Happy Friday to all. Crint only drinks one colour. Let me guess - a Heathcote varietal again Crinty? I'm starting on the beers and working my way up. Surely one of them will go well with tonights home made pizza.

Apparently they're all looking forward to getting legless.

I'm still not clear on this. A hermaphrodite frog? A genderless frog? A super frogman frog? A Mattel Ken frog (with suitably located bump) How on earth did you pick up that hot country chic?

A couple of Japanese tourists in one of the Crocodile Dundee movies when they thought Dundee was 'Crint Eastwood'.

Good question Crint. Guess it's up to BBO to provide proof of his report of a father's physical assault of his daughter who is in BBO's class, but I'll take his word for it.

Yeah but unless there is some very convincing role playing going on, it looks like it's got pretty vitriolic. What was attractive about this thread (to me) was that it was some relief from the angst of the real world on other threads. That, and the characters in this stage play had developed some common ground, familiarity with each other and dare I say it, respect. The latter looks to have been dropped in recent days. But until then it was a haven, a parallel universe where only the good parts of humanity existed. Well, maybe with a bit of licence taken around various subjects such as alpacas, Burwood and bananas. I hope, BBO, it is all argy bargy as you say. Otherwise we may have torn a hole in the space-time continuum and rent the universe asunder.
