What do you do when your favourite past-time also happens to be your job as well as your crippling addiction? Write about it whenever possible.
I have been addicted to EJW since approximately the start of last season, while the private and professional impacts of destroying most of my vital organs to maintain this addiction have been met with scorn from friends and family, my desire for the S23 EKA medallist is unwavering and for the first time I wish to share that passion with all of you.

Where do you start? At the beginning of course. This thread actually reminds me of the time I had my first drink. I remember it was at the Warrnambool Surfside Caravan Park on a mild New Years Eve when my mother said that I can have some Stones. I felt like a real cool guy, despite the fact that Stones didn't really carry the same street cred that Woodstock or Red Bear did at the time. This, like EJW's first thread, was the opening of my account... A blank canvas. So much potential. So much promise.

Quite pleased with his return of 19 likes for his opening thread, EJW struck while the iron was still searing hot. His next piece came approximately three days after his first. This was a different beast though, now there were pictures. The boy was taking important steps into manhood and I think the perfect reflection of this is none other than Stones Mac. The natural progression, more standard drinks and more sass than before. The thing with Stones Mac though is that it isn't as well liked as the original, this is reflected by only 8 people giving EJW some love on his second go.

"brahj, you cheeky bastard, this thread isn't about drinking at all... ooooh but you're going to pick the low hanging fruit and allude to the fact that you'd have to be drunk to sign with the Demons. Classic."
Well, yes. Superior comedy aside, you have to question how many days EJW had been drinking for before he decided to close his own signing announcement thread by answering questions that he submitted to himself. That's why this thread reminds me of the spirit that I can no longer drink because I drank way too much of it once and threw up so hard I was spewing bile, now I start dry retching whenever I smell it... Come on down, Johnny Walker (Red).

The Morton Bay Fig was very much on the front foot this time around. This was EJW's scathing commentary of the supposed "Boys Club", which we all know is a myth. While the post itself included the word "tannin" quite a lot, this was anything but fun in the sun. It was common knowledge by this time that EJW had made himself quite comfortable within several BigFooty PM's titled "Gentlemen's Club", while a lot of the PM's were a front, the venom that EJW dished out was very real and the after taste was quite... bitter. Hey ooooh.

I was going to say that this was a rather lazy media thread, but quite frankly I feel like it's been a struggle for me to even get this far in this thread. Not a shit thread, but far from his best work. This is a media piece that is just there, a reflection of most of the other threads that will drop to page 2 after a week and a half (assuming Haro won't be necrobumping in a year's time looking for old men to buy him drinks), that's why this thread is Tooheys Extra Dry. The best beer? No, but if you were offered one at a party you wouldn't answer by enquiring about the location of the Methylated Spirits.... unless you were miggs.
