Official Match Thread Season 40 First Preliminary Final - Dragons FFC v Mount Buller Demons FFC at Ljp86's Lair

[Strigoi]

I wish you shipped to North Carolina...

Australia Post is so slow that stuff would be rotten by the time it arrived.
I sent stuff to Mr. Strig for his birthday when our relationship was a long distance one. It took 3 months to get to him. It toured Australia first.

Never complain about the US Postal Service. Unarguably the best in the world. 24/7/365 can’t be beat. They don’t even have mail delivery every day here.

 

[Strigoi]

That's my experience as well. Young cats turn into psychos around a Xmas tree lol

Pupils as big as plates, ears down flat and back…frightening.

 

[DragoDelph]

Try again.

 

[Strigoi]

Prelims are scarey

Scary good!

 

[Strigoi]

May the hooded plovers give you wide berth for your beer time Jim

Great. Another Australian critter one has to watch out for.
Seriously - is there anything here that doesn’t want to kill you?

 

[All Aust]

Aye. The adrenaline will shoot, you will and harness and shine.

I have Friday off so today is basically Friday, except for being Thursday obviously but brings with it a kind of phenomenon where it feels like a Friday. I wonder what Friday will feel like?

I wish it was friday afternoon right now

absolutely cooked and I still have to work tomorrow, plus take the kid to see FNAF2 tonight

I’ve brought Friday forward to right now.

Some dork at work is organising “social fun afternoon” where the theme is show us your moves. I had to choose between colleagues gyrations over Teams or sulking with cold beer. It didn’t take me long to reach my decision

You picked dancing right?

Hmmmm. A fair bit. Oz Life expectancy however is pretty high. I guess we avoid / evade pretty well. We probably do better that big media tell us at medical treatment.

Vale Steve Cropper. A legend of US music.

This is the path that I would tread.

 

[Braklet]

Now listen here, can you please keep your trash pandas under control?

Raccoon goes on liquor binge and passes out in toilet

The suspect broke into a liquor store in the US state of Virginia, ransacked several shelves and ended up face down in the bathroom.

Our slightly overweight brown tabby cat lies on the floor just like that raccoon.

I don't know whether that's wee or sweat

Is that one of those stupid “team building” affairs? Ugh. I absolutely hated those. I spend many hours a week with you, I don’t want to “socialize” with you as well.

They always say to dance like no one is watching.

 

[Strigoi]

How’s winter going, Braklet? Any snow/freezing rain that far south yet?

It’s a scorcher here today - 91F. But the weather is fluctuating greatly from day to day. Weird.

No frozen precip, yet. Chance on Friday, I noticed they brined the freeway I drove earlier.

Hate freezing rain and ice storms.

Respect the raccoon. They are nothing to be reckoned with.

When I still lived at home, we had our garbage can off to the side, about 10 feet from the small front porch. I heard a ruckus outside one night, put on the porch light then opened the door and poked my head out. A raccoon was standing up on his back legs and removing the garbage can lid. We stared at each other for a minute or so. I just shut the door. He was not skittish, did not run away…or even flinch. I left him to his task at hand.

A bold critter, to be sure. He was huge! Didn’t want to take a chance at making him mad. They can carry rabies. He was quite beautiful, too.

Yeah, but does he quaff like a legend when he breaks in to a liquor store?
