So Carey has signed a three year deal worth over a million a year. Do you realise that with the proposed shortening of quarters to 15 minutes, and assuming he'd play 25 games in a year that would mean he'd be earning $40,000 an hour? The rest of the Kangaroos squad must be on about $500 a year each just so the club can stay under the salary cap... Oh, no that's right, one rule for the Kangaroos and one rule for the rest of the teams, I forgot... stupid me. That's a shitload of money though isn't it? Still, it must cost him a fortune each week for all those steroids I guess, but I wonder if the ugly prick will use some of that dosh to get himself a decent haircut for once. Perhaps then he'd get on the next Who's Who A-list.
Now that's a strange concept isn't it, an A-list? What does the A stand for? Arseholes? I mean, wasn't it Groucho Marx who said "I'd never join a club that would have someone like me as a member"? I'll tell you this for free, if by some freak of the social order I happened to find myself lobbed up on an A-list with the likes of Sam
Newman or Tony Lockett then I'd be handing in my resignation pronto.
I mean Lockett??? The guy's a thug, fair dinkum. Remember when he hurled his crutch at a pre-pubescent Eddie McGuire all those years ago? ****in funny eh? But only cos it was McGuire. It truly was the act of an enraged animal. Now maybe he was a bit pissed about having a camera shoved up his arse as he headed into that Doctor's surgery,
but he seemed happy enough to have cameras following him around towards the end of last season as his retirement loomed ever closer
didn't he? He might come across as a bit of a thick bastard but he knows the smell of money when he sniffs it doesn't he? Yeah, yeah!
Just as well Live and Kicking has bit the dust otherwise, sure as eggs, he'd have been on it alongside those other semi-humans Dunstall and Hawkins. Thank you God for small blessings...
Anyway, apparently the editors at Who's Who wanted to include more people who are in the news on their A-list this year than the usual
array of Moet-sipping, goat's cheese nibbling inbreds they normally select. So where's Michael Knight then? That back-stabbing,
cancerous growth has barely been out of the news all year has he?
Pissing off American high school brass bands, flogging off premium tickets to all his rich mates and passing the buck on to all his
staff... the rotten prick. Hardly suprising when he's been working alongside Richo though is it? I mean, you'd hardly be expecting the
most transparent and accountable procedures when Richo's involved would you? I heard that when Bob Hawke was offered one of them
premium tickets he said he'd only accept it if it was behind Richo so that the cherry-faced assassin couldn't stab him in the back again. Not that Hawkey's the most honest of chaps either mind you, but there
you are...
Mark Philippoussis was included on the basis of his post Davis Cup party performance alone, however that porker Susie Moroney was left off because although she enjoys a smoke in the company of bearded old men she has a tendency to go on post-party drives in her pyjamas. Also the people at Who's Who thought that the stresses of being
included on an A-list might have been the final straw that tipped her over that suicidal edge... Well, put her on the list I say!
I suppose I'd better get back to the football before some anal-retentive self-proclaimed moderator decides to spout off at me with some clap-trap about off-topic postings though, so did anyone see the breakdown of the seating arrangements at the Docklands Stadium? There's so many of them that patrons are to be seated at a table and
given a menu before they choose which gate to enter. Surely the people in charge of such things are having a lend of themselves aren't
they? I mean the average footy fan has difficulty deciding whether or not to have sauce on his pie, so by giving them seven seating options you'll just scare them away. No wonder people are so upset about losing Waverly. There the only choice was whether to sit in the wind or the rain.
And apparently the Melbourne Storm will be plaing some games at the MCG this year. The cheeky bastards! Still, it serves the AFL right for trying to keep them out of the Docklands. Actually this off-season has been quite bizarre with the amount of debate about
stadia and who will play where and when hasn't it? But the most bizarre one was here in Adelaide yesterday where some councillors
decided to register a protest vote about the proposed permanent lights at Adelaide Oval. Apparently each of them thought that they'd try to create some righteous persona for themselves by taking a stand against the ruining of "the best vista in South Australia" as one of them put it. Each one thought that they would be the only ones to vote against the proposal, so imagine their suprise when the result was 5-4 against. Stupid w***ers! Seriously, who votes these half-wits in?
Seriously! I've never met one person who has voted in a local council election. Counting must take stuff all time, as there would only be as many votes as there were candidates. Reckon I might stand for council at the next election you know, I mean if Justin Madden can get a guernsey then I'm a shoe-in.
Anyway, that's what I reckon...
