One step at a time BBO. Gotta win the week to be in the running for the monthly award ... though I admit you should be a shoo-in (or shoe-in* as some on Demonland insist on putting it) for that as well. * not a Mitch Clark reference.

I presume that this is your entry in the outrageously bad pun of the week competition and not some sort of mistake. We're polishing the trophy for you right now.

Or was that just Fat Phil?

Presumably he'll also need someone to do his soliciting for him.

Best of luck to all those bravely venturing out today. I won't get any further than where I left the remote last night. But here are a few things you might like to try on the way to the G (inspired by Old Dee's many references to wet tram tickets):

Ahh, I wondered which taxpayer it was.

I suppose that years of bitter experience and deep despair would help make a demon frog more resistant but I'm not sure. Ninth belongs to tigers, of course, not snakes. But a tiger snake might be eligible.

Not a good situation for a frog of any species.

No need for any of this. There's a banana plantation just over the rise from where I live. If someone can organise the black van we should be able to guarantee supply just by leaping over the fence. There might be a small problem with the brown snakes and death adders, but if you bring BBO with you he should be able to scare them off.

What kind of cross-species perversions have been going on in this genealogy?

I'd be happy to oblige but I have to maintain my distrust of anyone under 50.

Maybe it was a banana lounge and Redleg ate it.

Whoops, another case of mistaken identity. Edit: Speaking of which, it was Joh, of course, rather than Joe; but the quote sounds pretty much like him.

Do I detect a covert effort to extend this thread by discussing that thread here? Very clever. Who was TS, by the way? He doesn't seem to get many mentions on his thread nowadays.

Oh, sorry, since this thread was originally about $cully I just assumed Roberts was another one of those beat-ups with no substance to him ...

Didn't Sheeds say last night that, as an entirely fabricated entity, GWS has first claim on all fictional recruits and Melbourne can just keep their hands off Roberts?
