There's been a new record set for manic message board depression the last couple of days.

I never knew it was possible for so many people to say the same thing so many times.

It's really not that drastic. A couple of weeks ago we were sitting clear on top of the ladder. Now we're just outside the 8 on percentage. We're better placed than we've been for a couple of years. ;D

Go you Mighty Tiges. It's time....well it's overtime but that's a minor detail.

Eat Em Alive.
 
OK rosy,what comes next? Will it be the Parrot routine. Or will you go for the Nudge Nudge Know What I mean line. We are playing like Monty Python's Flying Circus at the moment but without any of the originality or flair.
Hey rosy,I just realised it has to be the parrot routine.Frawley's dead. He hasn't fallen over because Miller has glued his feet to the perch. "Nice plumage though guv." If we have any more leg injuries instead of operating,they should just amputate. Then we could be the Knights Who Say Ni. We couldn't play any worse if we were legless anyway
 
Damn! now I'm going to hear that tune in my head for the rest of the day.

I keep joining in as the chorus - da dum da, da, da, da, de, dum - sorry, not good at writing music but Monty P aficionados will get the picture - er, tune.
 
It was a big toss up whether to don my fake beard and join the public stoning but that would take too much energy.

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

It's only a flesh wound. ;D
 
Bright Side of Life

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Sometimes look on the light side of the Tiges
[whistling]

If the board seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s that’s to *smile* and whinge and moan but still have fun
If you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just read Digglaffs posts and giggle that’s the thing.

And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Try to look on the light side of The Tiges
[whistling]

Message boards are quite absurd
And we all want the final word
You must face the fact that sometimes you’ll feel low
Don’t worry if we don’t win.
It doesn’t hurt to give a grin
There’s always next season anyhow
So,...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]

Richmond played like *smile*
When you think of it
Our game plans a laugh, our kicking’s a joke. It’s true..
It’s not much of a show
But we’ll be laughing when they go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.

Always look on the bright side........
 
Unfortunately in this case, there is no bright side. Its a sad sad tale. My dad summed things up best when someone screamed out in the last quarter 'GIVE US SOME HOPE RICHMOND' and he replied with 'We will have hope once Frawley is gone'.

I sat there open-mouthed because he has stood by him the entire time and we have faught like cats and dogs over that issue. Everyone is now realising the situation and what needs to change.

How can you look on the bright side when we are every chance to lose to Geelong this week?

MANDY: Ohh, I hate wearing these beards.
BRIAN: Why aren't women allowed go to stonings, Mum?
MANDY: It's written. That's why.
HARRY THE HAGGLER: Pssst! Beard, madam?

HARRY THE HAGGLER: Stones, sir?
MANDY: Naah. They've got a lot there, lying around on the ground.
HARRY THE HAGGLER: Oh, not like these, sir. Look at this. Feel the quality of that. That's craftsmanship, sir.
MANDY: Hmmm. Aah, all right. We'll have, uh, two with points and... a big flat one.
BRIAN: Could I have a flat one, Mum?
MANDY: Shh!
BRIAN: Sorry. Dad.
MANDY: Ehh, all right. Two points, ah, two flats, and a packet of gravel.
HARRY THE HAGGLER: Packet of gravel. Should be a good one this afternoon.
MANDY: Hehh?
HARRY THE HAGGLER: Local boy.
MANDY: Oh, good.
HARRY THE HAGGLER: Enjoy yourselves.



OFFICIAL: You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our Lord, and so, as a blasphemer,...
CROWD: Ooooh!
OFFICIAL: ...you are to be stoned to death.
CROWD: Ahh!
MATTHIAS: Look. I-- I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.'
CROWD: Oooooh!
OFFICIAL: Blasphemy! He's said it again!
CROWD: Yes! Yes, he did! He did!...
OFFICIAL: Did you hear him?!
CROWD: Yes! Yes, we did! We did!...
WOMAN #1: Really!



[silence]



OFFICIAL: Are there any women here today?
CROWD: No. No. No. No...
OFFICIAL: Very well. By virtue of the authority vested in me--
[CULPRIT WOMAN stones MATTHIAS]
MATTHIAS: Oww! Lay off! We haven't started yet!
OFFICIAL: Come on! Who threw that? Who threw that stone? Come on.
CROWD: She did! She did! He did! He! He. He. Him. Him. Him. Him. He did.
CULPRIT WOMAN: Sorry. I thought we'd started.
OFFICIAL: Go to the back.
CULPRIT WOMAN: Oh, dear.
OFFICIAL: Always one, isn't there? Now, where were we?
MATTHIAS: Look. I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying 'Jehovah'.
CROWD: Oooh! He said it again! Oooh!...
OFFICIAL: You're only making it worse for yourself!
MATTHIAS: Making it worse?! How could it be worse?! Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!
CROWD: Oooooh!...
OFFICIAL: I'm warning you. If you say 'Jehovah' once more-- [MRS. A. stones OFFICIAL]
Right. Who threw that?
MATTHIAS: [laughing]


[silence]

OFFICIAL: Come on. Who threw that?
CROWD: She did! It was her! He! He. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him.
OFFICIAL: Was it you?
MRS. A.: Yes.
OFFICIAL: Right!
MRS. A.: Well, you did say 'Jehovah'.
CROWD: Ah! Ooooh!...

[CROWD stones MRS. A.]

OFFICIAL: Stop! Stop, will you?! Stop that! Stop it! Now, look! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle! Do you understand?! Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say 'Jehovah'.
CROWD: Ooooooh!...

[CROWD stones OFFICIAL]

WOMAN #1: Good shot!
 
You really scare me sometimes, frick. :)

I can just picture you there typing away at the puter, while an old black and white telly sits in the corner showing old Monty Python movies running from a Beta video set up.

All the blinds closed, house plants long dead, bed unmade, dirty socks strewn about the floor....Hang on, I just had a flashback to me university days there for a sec. :D
 
Well done, Frick!

Hey, I just noticed that Hanno's frick wasn't touched . . . no, let me put that another way - when Hanno wrote "frick" the swear filter didn't *smile*. Does that mean it's fixed?

Oh, goody, frick frick, frick!
 
Great pick up, Roar.

Let's try the other famous one: half back flanker, half back flanker, half back flanker.
 
Woohoo Roar - the swear filter likes me again!

I was beginning to think it was a little anal retentive!!

BTW Hanno, i didn't actually type all that, i looked it up and pasted it. The last time i saw The Life of Brian was an the Moonlight Cinemas summer before last.

There i was lying on my back on my blanket staring down past my cheekbones at the screen. However, one scene in particular had me laughing so hard my cheekbones had risen into my eye-sockets and i couldn't see sh!te - but i could still hear it - i was in tears!!

and the scene in question..........................



PILATE: Oh, yes. Thwow him to the floor, please.
BRIAN: Aah! [whump]
PILATE: Now, Jewish wapscallion.
BRIAN: I'm not Jewish. I'm a Roman.
PILATE: A Woman?
BRIAN: No, no. Roman. [slap] Aah!
PILATE: So, your father was a Woman. Who was he?
BRIAN: He was a centurion in the Jerusalem Garrisons.
PILATE: Weally? What was his name?
BRIAN: 'Nortius Maximus'.
CENTURION: Ahh, ha ha!
PILATE: Centuwion, do we have anyone of that name in the gawwison?
CENTURION: Well, no, sir.
PILATE: Well, you sound vewy sure. Have you checked?
CENTURION: Well, no, sir. Umm, I think it's a joke, sir,... like, uh, 'Sillius Soddus' or... 'Biggus Dickus', sir.
GUARD #4: [chuckling]
PILATE: What's so... funny about 'Biggus Dickus'?
CENTURION: Well, it's a joke name, sir.
PILATE: I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called 'Biggus Dickus'.
GUARD #4: [chuckling]
PILATE: Silence! What is all this insolence? You will find yourself in gladiator school vewy quickly with wotten behaviour like that.
BRIAN: Can I go now, sir? [slap] Aaah! Eh.
PILATE: Wait till Biggus Dickus hears of this.
GUARD #4: [chuckling]
PILATE: Wight! Take him away!
CENTURION: Oh, sir, he-- he only--
PILATE: No, no. I want him fighting wabid, wild animals within a week.
CENTURION: Yes, sir. Come on, you.
GUARD #4: Ha ha haa ha, ha ha ha. Hooo hooo hoo hoo. Hoo hoo...
PILATE: I will not have my fwiends widiculed by the common soldiewy. Anybody else feel like a little... giggle... when I mention my fwiend... Biggus...
GUARD #1: [chuckling]
PILATE: ...Dickus?
GUARD #1: [chuckling]
PILATE: What about you? Do you find it... wisible... when I say the name... 'Biggus'...
GUARD #3: [chuckle]
PILATE: ...'Dickus'?
GUARD #1 and GUARD #2: [chuckling]
PILATE: He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? She's called... 'Incontinentia'. 'Incontinentia Buttocks'.
GUARDS: [laughing]
PILATE: Stop! What is all this?
GUARDS: Ha, ha ha ha ha ha...
PILATE: I've had enough of this wowdy webel sniggewing behaviour. Silence! Call yourselves Pwaetowian guards? You're not-- Seize him! Seize him! Blow your noses and seize him!

Well obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally.
It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
