Excellent work on BFNAAK and Zondor, Jimms. But could you footnote the meaning of some of those really uncommon (to me) words, such as malapropism and elide?

Much appreciated.

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

FunkyZ and his Hamish McLaughlin cartoon, piss myself laughing whenever I see/hear of L.Nixon

Tef's get Kane Cornes obsession

Arthur Cloke's wagers on people being related

Whether the Shinboner Spirit is alive or dead threads that get posted fifty times a year

I miss these too

 

[year of the roo]

It was St kilda's mods at Chadstone, wasn't it? Kildonan and some other.

 

[Ted]

jschwag and his sponsorship of the Queen Mary

Suggestions that we could trade our first two draft picks so we can get LMac with our third rounder

i didn't do zondors. someone from adelaide did it

And here's me thinking you've got a doctorate in ''using fancy words''.

4. The photos of Alan Obst walking up and down the grass hill at Arden St carrying weights. Followed by 6 months out of the game with a torn quad.

The weights got turned in something like "it wasn't weights, it was a piano" or some such.

what was the whole hallways thing? didn't it come from an article about daniel wells last communicating with laidley with a nod in the hallway?

It was an article near, or possibly at the end of, JYD's coaching tenure and encompassed his waning relationship with players, including Wellsy, and how little he communicated with them.

JYD said, in the article, he had a good relationship with the players and cited, as evidence, the fact that "only the other day" he had bumped into Wellsy in the corridor and they proceeded to have one of their best ever conversations (thus highlighting the very inadequacy in question).

I assumed, given how effusive it was, that Zondor had written it. But, it does say "suspected of being a Tender Touch patron" when in fact he is a "confessed patron of...", even detailing preferred services.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

A few things I haven't seen mentioned...

1. "Shut up and buy a membership" - G.Walsh

2. "Make it happen Euge"

3. giantroo 's first 6 months on BigFooty. Also this post by gokangas during that time (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/anyone-baught-ruffle-tickets.333117/#post-7691243)

Too soon, but thanks for doing your bit. :stern look Unless of course you're referring to me being the only BF poster to have trademarked their own font colour.

In any case, I thought Nate7's departure post was the folklore, or at least it being one of a few "I'm done" posts over the years that have become folklore, most notably the premiere such post, by pharro.

So, Jimms for wiki purposes, "I'm done" is an OP in a thread that announces a poster's intention to depart BF due to "irreconcilable differences", usually moral, with the broader BF community. Such posts are usually met with derision for grandstanding with the implied preference that the poster simply slip into obscurity instead of eulogizing. The ironic twist, of course, being that such posters often, even invariably, return under either their original BF name, or with a new one or, in the case of pharro, with a couple of them.

Speaking of pharro, I believe he may have been the original subject referred to as part of yet another 'folklorish' meme, "inner scrotum". This one may have been started by one of Zondor's aliases, given its hallowed status as one of our more common malapropisms, for inner sanctum, of course, referring to posters that have real or alleged intimate connections with central, usually off-field, club staff.

I thought it was Hawthorn's. The old memory's cloudy on that though. TOD may recall.

How long was Nate actually away? I disappeared for a while myself shortly after, and when I got back, Nate was in the thick of it again. Surely a record for a non-alias return.

Approx 3 weeks!

Thought so, ta nimchief.

Was it the 2009 season where we got beaten by 70 points by Geelong at KP and Laidley got up at the post match press conference and declared "we won't be the last side to come down here this year and get touched up by 70 points"

Geelong's remaining victories that season were by 34, 46, 2 and 40 points.

[NiceCunnington]

Got a feeling it was way earlier than that. 2006 maybe.

Not sure 'rock, paper, scissors' has got a run yet.

[NiceCunnington]

Urmoe watching the first three quarters of one of our VFL practice matches at Princes Park then flying to Canberra to catch the second half of our NAB Challenge match. Something like that. Provided reports for both IIRC.
