Official Match Thread Season 30 R14: East Side Hawks vs Sin City Swamprats at The Eyrie

[por_please_ya]

Well if it isn't my favourite Hawks poster with an underscore in their username! How are you? Ready to lose by a double digit amount of goals on Sunday?

Well I don't agree with that last part but since we can't make finals anyway it doesn't matter!!
I'm thinking I might hit the hay instead of researching my opponent. It's nice feeling so carefree about a game!!

StalaCtites grow from the Ceiling
StalaGmites grow from the Ground.

Basic letter association.

Hello, wannabeeaglesbutslightlybetterthanfalcons. How is s30 treating you?

I always remembered it like, stalactites hold on tight, and stalagmites are like termite mounds.

Anyone else going trick or treating this weekend?

I will set rabbit traps under the front door towel.

Trick.

 

[Ant Bear]

My local one is a shocker, the amount of verbal alterations people have had with me (largely not my fault) is crazy, feels Americanized

People change the words that come out of your mouth? This is witchery...

Ah, the Rats. Does anyone important still play for you guys? I know at some stage you had that second rate ShaunDuggan

After my glorious return to FF last week, another win here is inevitable, I enjoy kicking goals against this mob.

This is a timely return, see if you can stick around for another week or so

 

[Ant Bear]

Yep. There will be 4000 people at Bunnings on Saturday morning.

Sausages?

I’ve been around all season. I just can’t manage 25 posts per day anymore, I got a real job and a forward line of kids

I know right! Ever since we signed projectv I can sleep easy knowing that we're going to win week in, week out

 

[Ant Bear]

Looking forward to a great week against the hawks!

Hawks not even your good friends?

Way to insult them without them even realising it!

Sounds like you're as tired as I am. I'm about as tired as the Mount Buller game plan (I can't believe how much they've fallen off the cliff this season!!!).

 

[Power Raid]

now tired is something I can relate to

3 hour cycles of feeding the new bub, change nappies (mine and his) and settle before ground hog starts again

 

[Ant Bear]

Not sure I am ready for cricket discussion just yet. I am still working out what the best time to go to Autobarn on the weekend will be.

I thought it was a funny prank pouring some Melbourne water into the Bathurst water treatment plant. Put a real rocket up those Welshies!

 

[GremioPower]

I've never been able to get into cricket, just not my cup of tea

 

[GremioPower]

Hi Swampies. I'm a little late to the party...

Fashionably late.

“OMG!” (my youngest son)

[He actually grabbed my phone and typed it.]

It’s my birthday. My kids just love that their dad’s birthday theme is always the same.

This year, we haven’t decorated the apartment. 2020 has been an odd year. So odd, my siblings are coming to celebrate with me.

My mom is so excited, she decided to invite her sisters, my cousins, their kids, and grandma, and do a costume party. My plans for a small barbecue were unceremoniously defenestrated.

Growing up in a community of ventriloquists was... challenging

Reminds me of the story of a man who goes on holiday to a country town. He carries a box into the pub, goes over to the piano and asks the pianist to "take a break". He then announces to everyone present, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to make you so glad you visited your local pub today - please meet my piano playing lizard."

You can imagine the scornful reaction. Everyone returns to what they'd been doing, but unperturbed, the man reaches into his box, places a small lizard on the keys, and tells it to start playing. Immediately, the haunting sounds of the slow movement of Mozart's 21st piano concerto fill the room. Those present sit transfixed, and at the end of the performance, there's a deafening round of applause. The bartender shakes the man's hand and says, "That's the most incredible thing I've ever seen."

The man says, "You ain't seen nothing yet." He reaches into the box, and pulls out a snake. He places the snake on the piano stool, and orders the lizard to start playing. The lizard complies, and there's another gasp from the audience, as the snake bursts into song. At the end of the performance, the crowd goes wild for a second time. The bartender says, "I'll give you $10,000 for the two of them - I'm seriously impressed."

Sounding somewhat guilty, the man says, "You can give me five grand for the lizard, but I couldn't make you pay for the snake."

The bartender says, "How come?"

The man says, "Because the lizard is a ventriloquist."

That seems a tad excessive.

Hey Falcons are pretty cool, have a look at this absolute beaut of a vehicle

 

[Chipmunk]

So Hawks - after the last 2 weeks, will you be Jekyll or Hyde this week? I don't know which is the bad one (bit like the difference between stalactites and stalagmites: which one points up, and which one points down?), but whatever it is, can you please be it?

My way of remembering it is stalactites hold tight to the ceiling (so from the top down), and stalagmites might get up there (so from the bottom up).

 

[Itsmyshow]

That seems a tad excessive.

It really is.

I would just like to say, mature aged students suck
