Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Thanks, 9 years old. I wonder if he plays club footy and if so whether here in SA?
Actually there was a lot of other good stuff on the same page. Not sure why I didn't follow that closely at the time.

I was at a club function not too long ago, and KT said a few things about Tex. Tex is that good and we're in a real fight with the Bombers to sign him as a father-son. Our new Academy structure will help our cause.

I loved Tredders first Rachel Leacher!!

.... we're in a real fight with the Bombers to sign him as a father-son .....

Thanks, we're probably safe for now. I don't think documents are legally binding until signed in cursive.

How many Rachel Leachers has he had?

Some footy players have probably signed in crayon.

pastmyprimus posted this about Tex being part of the James Hird Academy.

I think my uncle is in the James Hird academy. That's the one where they give them a methadone tablet every day yeah??

As long as the 'X' is legible it is binding

Unless Kerry has health issues, ch 10 or fox sports will pick him up with an offer too good to refuse.

My favourite of his million stories was when he was playing a Sheffield shield game NSW v SA at Adelaide Oval and he was staying at that hotel on corner of Hindley st and Morphett st think it was called Baron Townhouse.

Roy Orbison was staying at the hotel and Kerry, Dougie Walters and a few others kept sending him bottles of champagne. After about the 5th bottle he came down to meet the people giving him the champagne, in his silky purple dressing gown. I can't recall how the conversation went, but Orbison was a very dry and serious fellow and Kerry and others were trying to crack gags with him as it was after midnight and they had had a few, but I do remember pissing myself laughing ad imaging Orbison there with them, as he went on about it for 10 minutes or so. He kept referring to the purple dressing gown for the rest of the day.

You probably had to be there...

Does Tex Wanganeen get a free iPad if he pledges to sign for us instead of Essendon?

There's a decent chance that I'll be coaching him next year. If so, blackmailing him into choosing us wouldn't be too much, would it?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Yep he just went on and on, I can't remember all the things he said, but I know I was in stitches. Purple silky dressing gowns and Roy Orbison are permanently attached in my mind due to that story.

The family would be offended if you didn't try. However 'active coercion' might be the more politically acceptable phrase.
What league are you involved with? I understand you may not want to say that.

I'd be coaching his school team, Pulteney. I'm hoping the football co-ordinator lets me coach!

I prefer the one about Linda Ronstadt and the doorman at The Baron Townhouse but Kerry didn't tell that one.

Michael Hutchence was a lot of things but a good actor wasn't one of them.

Was he good at anything? Couldn't even manage having a wank without killing himself.

Was still a better option than Kym Wilson.

Kerry O'Keefe. Honest. He may not amuse those who recall the authority, the eloquence of Alan McGilvray, the honeyed tones of John Arlott, or even the schoolboy humour of Brian Johnson, who famously noticed that "the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey". But I love O'Keefe's name-dropping and, what inevitably follows, his laughter, which starts as a deep, wheezy throat-clearing before quickening to a stuttering cackle.

True or not, KOK's tales - of sitting up half the night with the "Big O", Roy Orbison, drinking beer and discussing wrong 'uns, flirting with Mick Jagger's wife, Jerry Hall, and having his spinning fingers deliberately crushed by the Queen - took the minds of English supporters off the cricket

I've never heard the Frog in the bank joke before...
But that was GOLD

It is a top standard dad joke. But Kerry is/was one of those raconteurs who turn such material into something memorable.

Skulls retirement. I'm devastated.

KG hates him - that alone makes him a legend.

Thinking about bumping some old threads.

Just to be a ****.
