Official Match Thread Season 31, Round 14: Dragons FFC vs Mount Buller Demons at Ljp86's Lair

[Headless]

This is no place to not be stern.

It simply is not.

Some around here could learn to be stern.

It would be most wise.

 

[Bonz]

Does drinking beer count?

Of course drinking beer counts, do you think I am a heathen?

 

[Headless]

Oop!

 

[Bonz]

I've been physically AND mentally absent from this thread, my dog is basically doing my posts for me which probably explains a lot.

Strigoi and I say

"Woof"

 

[manangatang]

I've always preferred 2B. It's less likely to fade if your paper gets wet.

Do you write a lot in a building prone to unsanctioned moisture ingress?

I remember this game pretty well. 27 points down at three quarter time at home, Pie kicks seven goals in the last term thanks to a bit of a funny sim to help the Dragons get home by nine points. The match stands as valid much to the chagrin of the Warriors. Was a pretty enjoyable game I must say.

Sage advice, Less.

Take note of that serial_thrilla.

 

[Headless]

Do you write a lot in a building prone to unsanctioned moisture ingress?

One might suggest relocating to less moist environments.

One might.

Take note of that serial_thrilla.

Are we really taking the wisdom of a Headless person seriously?

You can't be a wise head if you don't have one.

Do you feel this is something serial_thrilla should take note of, Less?

Bit difficult if I'm in the changeroom

 

[manangatang]

Wisdom should always be taken seriously, T2B.

serial_thrilla - please take note of this.

 

[Headless]

Are we really taking the wisdom of a Headless person seriously?

You can't be a wise head if you don't have one.

Oh no.

No, no, no.

I'm just not sure that this is whimsical and soul-enriching. Although I might describe it that way were I being dishonest.

 

[Headless]

Do you feel this is something serial_thrilla should take note of, Less?

A wonderful suggestion.

I would blame the BigFooty posting system for my lack of alerting serial_thrilla in this post, but you know what they say: "no, BigFooty's posting system isn't to blame!"

Ha ha! A bit of an oldy, but a goodie - particularly in these circumstances!

Remember that, serial_thrilla.

This evoked a deep belly laugh from me.

An oldy but a goodie; and you've always said that.

I just thought you should know.

serial_thrilla may benefit from remembering this.

 

[Headless]

Bit difficult if I'm in the changeroom

Yes, change rooms are notoriously difficult to exit.

 

[manangatang]

Yes, change rooms are notoriously difficult to exit.

Notoriously so.

They're like the human equivalent of an "Opera House Net".

 

[Matt_352]

Shut up

Chill out

 

[Headless]

Notoriously so.

If I can be earnest for a moment - and I can - I can see many similarities.

I just hope others can, too. serial_thrilla, you would be well-advised to take notes here.

Pecan?

 

[Headless]

Oh, quite right. Quite right, yes.

Always adapting. Always improving.

It's a cautionary tale.

We can learn a lot from yabbies. And I've always said that.

It's one of your oldest and best sayings.

An oldy, but a goodie.

Or should that be oldie? Perhaps you could consult your notes on this, serial_thrilla.
