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

[Braklet]

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.

Many moons ago, my brother had a guinea pig that we kept in a large cage on the back porch in the summer. One night, my Dad heard some noise in the back yard, so went out to investigate.

He discovered a VERY large raccoon had opened the cage and was scrambling to grab the guinea pig as a midnight snack.

Dad yelled at the 'coon, who turned around and stood up on hind legs as if to say "you want a piece of this?"

Dad grabbed a shovel, and gave the 'coon a mighty whack. He scurried off to the back lot with his apparent harem in tow.

Don't mess with raccoons.

 

[Braklet]

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

No, but she and her sister have trained us to dispense treats. The big one also likes to trap me in bed by lying between me and the edge.

What sort of weirdos do you end up recruiting into the Sweet FA?


Wait...

 

[DemonJim]

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?

Pre-Saturday without the friday feels (unless you are working on the weekend)

Wait...

The worst type.

A happy Friday morning to my fellow Demons and the Dragons.

And to everyone, may your Friday be quick and may you quaff to a new weekend!

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

I lied, it was whisky not beer.

 

[moginie]

And a very good morning to my fabulous Buller comrades and hello Dragons!

It's the calm before the storm. In five days my home will be descended upon by toddlers (and thankfully their mum). I say "calm" but in fact it's anything but that. It's a fury of cleaning and preparation.

Whatever you do today, don't get flustered.

We need to talk about a best Speakeasy.

Today is the commencement of Christmas related lunches and dinner / parties.
Foods and drinks and all those "responsible" emails.
What is responsible protocol for the photocopy and send of butt cheeks?

 

[thewizardmelon]

Are you allergic to fun or something?

This right here is why we have a no melons policy at the Dragons

Hey T2B_ serial_thrilla it’s Rebecca Day!

Also, so crazy that you guys hate melons. Everyone loves some good melons.

General awareness all.
Bush / Rural Fire Season has already started here in WA. Alerts and already one death in the South West of the state.

Just read a Company report from a crew who with a farmer extinguished a small fire. The cause...

A Magpie flew into a powerline, was electrocuted and lit the paddock below.

If you have intended on measures to minimise fire risk, now is the time to get to it.

In short, Gralin admitted that the Demons are not very good at qooty, and that sante and nahnah actually a pair of seagulls.

Tarkyn_24 and sausageroll begged to return to the Demons next year, and jmoo wan expressed interest in joining the Furies.

Also Headless is a robot driving instructor whose best friend is a pie.

Incorrect.

I begged for Tarkyn_24 to return to the Demons and the Demons begged him not to.

The son of the guy who died earlier this week is a friend of mine. It was tragic.

(If someone who's better at designing logos than me is reading, please help. This provisional logo is up there with my Dragons rebrand.) For far too long, cricket has terrorised the Sweet summer. For far too long, we've suffered those horrifying words of "oh, marvelous effort, that" and...
