[The Human Keg]

This bloke is supposed to be a Hawthorn supporter and he's writing this?

I liked this but, though.

There’s always one though brothers.

One time I was at a Collingwood game about two years back i remember it very clearly like the centre of the washing machine when you open the lid and it keeps spinning round you can see the middle even if the sides are a bit blurry.

There was this bloke who just keeped on talking rubbish nothing bad just the usual stuff supporters go on about – “bloody umpires”, “bloody Hawthorn players”, “bloody false teeth ive lost them again” - you get the drift.

Anyway his girlfriend started was talking about getting a breast enlargement and wanted this bloke to pay for it.

He keeped saying no it was too expensive.

Then I turned around and sayed I knew how she could do it cheaper.

He sayed how is that and I sayed “wipe toilet paper between her breasts and they will get huge”.

He sayed that wouldunt work and i sayed “well I guarantee it will, it worked on her bum”.

He didunt take that too well, so we blued for a while and got kicked out
It mightunt of been the smartest thing to say but if you want brains don’t come knocking on my door brother. It was fun but.

I declare genocide on anyone who uses but at the end of a sentence.

 

[Optimax]

sayed wtf? i dont even use that and i suck at english, and dont end sentences in but either?

he is right if you want brains dont go find him

I'm off to collect my Nobel prize for litreature. I mean, I deserve one compared to that. BTW it was obviously Micheal Voss masquerading as a Hawthorn supporter. Funny.

Shouldn't you be like " threatening grammarcide" (no...this is not knocking off your Granma) but?

I thought it was pretty good. Obviously a pisstake.

Yeah its original, and as well worded as a Charles Dickens novel....

Chance Batemen and Jared Roughhead were training. Chance got involved in some circle work, but Roughhead had a sore groin so he watched from the sidelines. The ball went round and round and then suddenly Chance was bumped by Xavier and fell to the ground, landing at Roughhead's feet. "Are you hurt Chance?" cried Roughhead in a high pitched squeal. "Of course I am you b****!" replied Chance with tears in his eyes. " Three times I went round and you didn't wave once to me!"

Perhaps it's a bit of "President Jeff's" litery work!

Very good Subtemperate I got a laugh out of that one.

You cant declare genocide on individuals, but. That would be homocide.

 

[kaness]

That was hilarious, not quite sure just how to take it though... People that stupid always seem as though they play on the fact. I really wonder...?

 

[Somebody]

Collingwood supporters understand footy and while they don’t like to lose they are not like Richmond supporters who turn on their own players.

I don't think that he has read much of Collingwood forums like bigfooty, Nicks. As far as turning on players and forgettign how good they have been in the recent past, many collingwood supporters have the dismal attention span of.... well, the average (TV -addicted) citizen.
If he thinks most of them have a good understanding of footy, that only shows his is just as bad.

"But" is the least of it.... the question is, what species of writing beast is it? If it's some kind of pastiche it's been hopelessly executed. What troubles me is that it's actually on an official Herald Sun website. It's not even funny in crude way.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Agree with Timmy, it should be homicide but, though.

 

[Jabso]

I think there is something in an individual's genes that makes them so stupid that they use conjunctive words at the end of sentences, and hence they in some small way belong to the same race, which would qualify as genocide.

 

[Pie eyed]

The whole piece was obviously written purposely in "dumb bogan" by someone who is probably well educated. The last part regarding the breast enlargement is a joke as old as the ark.

It's a subtle and not too well disguised dig at Collingwood.

Nope, saying "but" at end of sentences is done for style, which would be obvious to anyone who doesn't have "something in an individual's genes that makes them so stupid". It's pure snobbery to criticise it because it's not "the queen's english"

Personally I like it and it's probably uniquely Australian.

I'm not a grammar nazi there are only two things that bother me:
1. The but at the end of the sentence because it just sounds horrible.
2. People who say "Tim Lane is bias" instead of biased.

You'd have to kill the whole of Queensland but!

No, it's Irish too. For discusiion on this point, see Easy Fix Grammar thread in The Nest.

And I like it. I think it adds an additional shade of meaning - the sense of something unresolved.

Question is who ripped off who?
