ToO, that emoticon of yours is truly hypnotic. After staring at it continually for 10 minutes I feel I understand 'sal paradise' more clearly now. [just wish the room would stay still!]
As for the originator of this thread:
sal paradise said:
Greetings comradeos,
Man them Mexicano's can GO!.
So what's the jump? - What does THIS year promise AND do the new Tigers know TIME.
I want to sing - I want the anthem that IS tigerland to pull me out of my shoes - EVERY week.
Blow.................yes that IS my bag.....yes.......
From his opening line it is clear that 'sal' is of the left persuasion.
The reference to 'Mexicanos' hints at a Queensland origin. They, Queenslanders refer, to everyone south of the Q border as 'Mexicans' - a quaint Q custom only matched by their penchant for using 'but' to indicate the end of a sentence, which this poster has cleverly avoided doing, so as to throw us off the scent.
'So what's the jump?' could be a modernism for 'what's the go?' or 'what's the news/good oil/buzz?'
'What does this year promise', is fairly straight forward but thereference to 'TIME' is unclear. Perhaps Michael's suggestion of an anagram.
'I want to sing', clearly a happy soul, see also. 'I want this anthem that IS tigerland', probably a Tiger supporter who wants to sing the club song [i.e. wants Tiger victories so as to sing song].
'pull me out of my shoes', wants to kick his/her shoes off to dance around while singing club song.
'EVERY week', wants to kick shoes off and dance around singing club song every week [read: every week of footy season]. In PRE lingo: hopes we have a good year 2005.
'Blow, etc', for some reason words like 'bong' come to mind and, here, I think caution should prevail else the narcotics squad might appear on the scene.
In summing up, one of our northern cousins, who possibly votes Labor, wants to know how we are going to go this year. Will 'sal' have many opportunities to kick off the old thongs and dance about chanting 'Yellow & Black' in 2005? This will surely 'blow' his/her mind.
Of course, on the other hand, it might just be gibberish.
