Universal Love TRTT Part 6: The Undiscovered Ken

[Schulzenfest]

A mate of mine accidentally scheduled his wedding on Grand Final day a few years back. He asked me if I’d skip his wedding if it clashed with Port making the Grand Final. I told him I’d skip my own wedding if it clashed with Port making the Grand Final.

 

[Trewth]

I’ve made it clear to everyone I even remotely care about that if you schedule something at the same time Port play then you’d be silly to expect me there.

the catering at the MCG is half decent, why not do both?

 

[philthy05]

Well ****. I just got asked to be a groomsman in a wedding I strongly don't support. So many conflicts. I don't feel like it would be right if I said yes given how I feel about it.

Destroy it from within

Like fagan at the crows

I know a guy who scheduled his own wedding date on his own footy grand final


He went to the grand final

Good work


I don’t even have to do that though

I’ve garnered such a reputation that people have no expectation for me to do anything unless at my whim.

I've got a tiered system in my mind for events clashing with Port games with different standards applied to pre season fixtures, home and away fixtures, finals and grand finals.

The latter would pretty much only include the imminent death of an immediate family member.

Valentine's Day came late for the shit-faced couple down John St this morning...

"Tell me ya luv me," he begged.
"Get f@%ked," she snapped.
"Carn, babe. Tell me."
"F@%koff, ya dog campaigner."
"What? Dog? I'm no f@%ken dog."
"You'se a f@%ken dog CAMPAIGNER!"
"F@%K YOU! I'll knock you arse over head, ya dumb bitch."

She spiked her backpack on the ground.

"You wanna go? Let's go, campaigner. I'll smash yer f@%ken head! I don't f@%ken play! CUMMMMMAWWWWN CAMPAIGNER!!!"

20mins later u can hear a different kind of screaming

If I learnt anything from travelling India as an Australian, it's that even the slum-dwelling, street vendors, barefoot and covered in the grime of an old and dirty city, looked down on me for my 'convict heritage'. They're obsessed with it and it's strange.

Add a brutal colonial law atop existing caste system divisions and it's not so strange that some folks less than a century later still look to pigeonhole other folks into 'categories' on first contact.

Edit: wow I didn't know India still uses caste-based quotas for government jobs, university places, etc. had thought Malaysia was the only major country that still legally enshrined and practiced that sort of quota by community type discrimination.

Yep you know death is a oncer so no GF. Weddings - 50% chance it wont last, so you dont miss the GF.

Hahahah, me too. Had a huge argument with a member of a club I'm a part of on Saturday.
Kids
Footy (home games)
Club
Other
Work
Footy (away)

No negotiation, that's my clear priority!

 

[raman]

It does clash actually, lmao. That was the biggest issue when he initially told me the date.

And it got worse when he later told you the fiancee?

If it doesn't clash with footy, you don't have a choice.

I got married the week after the 04 grand final. The ramifications of a draw hadn't even crossed my mind but halfway through the third quarter when the scores were very close my best man, who was sitting next to me told me I needed to start thinking of a backup plan for my best man - he wasn't joking

 

[Steve Dore]

Haven't seen pm #malcom this emotional about something since... I dunno. Has he ever cared about anything before?

If little Johnny Howard was still PM he'd be rushing back the death penalty just for Steve Smith.

I’d have been telling my fiancée she needed to start thinking of a backup plan for the groom.

There’s a 100% chance the wedding Feel is talking about won’t last if he’s to be believed, so I wouldn’t even miss a regular season match for it

 

[jordz82]

Long time between posts for me.... any you guys going to Gomez tonight?

 

[Doctor Feel]

I said no, let's see how it goes. Pretty sure he knows I hate that shit and was expecting me to say no but figured he'd ask anyway. So I think we'll be all good.

Also what the **** is Gomez?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Are they going to be at the big panthers club?

If I died and my family organised the funeral to take place during a Ports GF I’d haunt their dumb arses until they died.
