What does "hyphonetically" mean?

It's actually hyphᴔnetically -

(adv.) correct pronunciation, whilst standing on one's head, of a proper name that includes at least one hyphen.

At present I'm not venturing away from my desktop at home, reading BF and listening to SEN / 3AW / 5aa for the latest on Essendrama and glancing incessantly at the TV news and then at my new Nancy Kwan avatar which HaroldOliver seems to think might in fact be me...

No trams running. Taxi routes screwed up. Long walk to the MTR. Call me a couch potato.

I well remember the Beijing Spring of 1989. Got involved here in the protest marches myself that Sunday, June 4. Those were hairy times - considering Beijing was going to take over here eight years later.

This time there are a number of the same parameters in place. We need cool heads at the top of all participating institutions. Hopefully, boredom will set in, an interim deal will be reached and the streets will clear. The most worrying parallel between 1989 and now is that the students, those innocent young minds who always mean well, are in a position to again have their cause hijacked by older heads with ulterior motives.

Stay safe mate, I know you've faced worse before but I hope everything stays sane over there.

Could you create a thread with all these in please mate, so funny reading them!

I listened to Rowe today for the first time since April and I was shocked. Good satirical comedy requires some exaggeration and now I don't think that's possible when doing him. He seems to actually believe the 19th Man is a living, breathing tax-paying person, not just a second-hand concept. No-one can be as funny as he is stupid. It's just not possible.

Classic case of laughing AT him rather than with him.

It's one reason why folks like Hitler and Jesus Christ are difficult targets for satire.

Here's some more from Homer

Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives sermons at church? Captain what's-his-name?

Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else -- and it hasn't -- it's that girls should stick to girl's sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.

You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don't work in real life -- uh, Christianity.

You're everywhere. You're omnivorous.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions, you musta been out taking a whizz.

Just heard some of Pendlebury's speech and he saying thanks to the fans which is fair enough, but he then went on too say they get 75,000 each week to there home games. Fk they're as deluded as what Essendon are. I reckon there last 4 home games they struggled to 40,000 at the games.

Bit harsh comparing him to the goings on at Essendon. Pendlebury is entitled to talk up their attendances and their 'game day experience', fair enough. Of course when it's a Victorian 'blockbuster' the audience draw is entirely due to them, not to who they are playing. It's annoying, it smacks a little of hubris, it's somewhat delusional, but it's not on the scale of the disease at Essendon these days.

Was only saying they're as deluded as Essendon as they think they own the AFL because of the 'THEY'RE COLLINGWOOD'. Wasn't trying to compare the 2 clubs at all.

Fact is it was Adelaide Oval that saved the AFL attendance figures this season, and probably will over the next 3 or 4 seasons as well IMO.
Collingwood aren't the AFL, never have been and never will be.

Caller puts up Newton + 16 for Geelongs pick 13 trade proposal to trade for Ryder & he says 'I can't see Geelong giving up a first rounder for Newton' is he deaf?

I'm still laughing about that. And none of them go 'wait a minute'.

And none of them know how Delisted Free Agency works.

 

[finbarr]

It's fair to say we have the most clueless, out of the loop football media in the country. I reckon the rugby league states get greater insight out of their local scribes.

 

[Seanybruz]

My biggest media shakes head media moment of the week has to be a joint effort from the likes of KG, Cornes, Jars, Wildy, Bone, cRowe & Dillon all sinking the boot into free agency saying it's a blight on the game but overlook the fact they got Eddie 'pocket' Betts as a free agent!

So it's only a blight when clubs like Melbourne lose overrated players like Frawley despite being overly compensated with a top 5 pick or Saints choose to move Goddard on but it's all good when they get an AA out of it?

Free agency has it's positives/negatives but what about the good news stories for players that stagnated at their clubs like Monfries & White who made the move & are now playing the best footy of their careers?

Melbourne are set to lose Frawley to Hawthorn: it's a bleeding outrage it is!

Port Adelaide looked set to lose a handful of players across 2011-12: well duh what do they expect?

This morning on 5AA Rucci and his mates were talking about how we would go about picking up Ryder in the draft if he became a delisted free agent.

Wildy "Why would Gorringe go to Port? He has a much better chance of getting a game at Adelaide"

Mind you their call in audience includes the guy who just said Norwood beat Port in the GF because Norwood had superior fitness to an AFL side is the level they are pitching at.

 

[Killer Power]

Has been quality listening this morning while doing the gardening. If i facepalm any more though i may need to enforce the concussion rule and sub in the wife.

Hahah. A bunch of depressed kids got rolled by less than a kick on a hot day after coughing up a 5-goal lead in the first 10 minutes.
