Official Match Thread Season 30 Round 8: Gold City Royals vs East Side Hawks at The Golden Throne

[The Filth Wizard]

Since you did me in earlier this thread.

Remember that time you flew to Perth for my Bucks, only for my wife to leave me 6 months later?

I do. Also had the best chili scramble I've ever had in my life.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I am happy you feel safe enough in this thread to admit this.

I wish they gave Jason Segel his own show based on his Forgetting Sarah Marshall character.

TBH wasn't that in a way 'The Muppets'?

 

[Noobz0r]

I do. Also had the best chili scramble I've ever had in my life.

Where??

 

[Marlowe]

By the way Marlowe... I Think You Should Leave.

F*** me what a show. I watched the whole thing on a plane trip over to Perth last year to see Noobz0r, Blacky and miggs with Quivorir.

I was almost crying with laughter the whole time.

This:

I remember watching the whole thing in one sitting by accident because I thought there were more episodes. When it was over I was sad as I was overjoyed.

The spine surgery sketch.



"We gotta fly Jeff Chris down from Indiana to mix it professionally!"

 

[Marlowe]

TBH wasn't that in a way 'The Muppets'?

Guess I gotta watch The Muppets.

 

[Marlowe]

The poker scene in Suits nearly destroyed me.

Because it was so good or so bad? I don't remember a thing about Suits any more except that the chick is royalty now, so props to her for that hall of fame level move up the social ladder.

His show Detroiters is meant to be great too.

Season 2 is supposed to drop at any moment.

It was horribly contrived.

 

[Chipmunk]

It was horribly contrived.

What about the poker scene in Casino Royale?

I will attest to that - Detroiters is a quietly underrated show.

Guess I gotta watch The Muppets.

To add to this, I actually watched the Shaun the Sheep sequel today, Farmageddon. Very manipulative but effectively touching film. Makes ET look like Shaun the Sheep. And I downloaded the Dora the Explorer movie from the same director, James Bobin, who co-created Flight of the Conchords. It's all connected... well, sort of. Not really.

 

[Noobz0r]

What about the poker scene in Casino Royale?

Between the ages of 16 and 20ish my mates and I had regular poker nights. At one of these the host rigged it so the opening hand mirrored that scene in terms of the hands we had. It was fantastic.

Favourite Loonerty Contribution #1: His Vigilant Efforts To Educate About Statistics & Probability

In a complex game like Qooty, it can be easy for ignorant folks to buy into common misconceptions like the Gambler's Fallacy, but thanks to Loonerty applying his Masters of Statistics he can use his extensive knowledge of probability distributions, statistical independence and other mathy nerd stuff to rightfully debunk the nonsensical notion and crush any lingering source of optimism of a team experiencing a long losing streak.

But if I keep betting on red but double my bets every time I'm guaranteed to win!

Honestly, this is elite.

 

[CakeEater]

I do. Also had the best chili scramble I've ever had in my life.

Where from Filthy?

 

[Noobz0r]

Where from Filthy?

Sappore in Belmont. Best cafe in Perth.

Favourite Loonerty Contribution #2 : When He Channels Disappointment Into Creativity

The SFA is full of disappointment and heartbreak so I always admire people like Loons who find ways to channel all that negative energy and turn it into a positive force of creative expression! A prime example of this is when Loonerty was understandably disappointed in a shockingly disappointing 36th place finish in the Beez one season and instead of moping around, feeling miserable, rage quitting the league or deleting his account. Loonerty decided to focus that energy into creative projects that brought the league more enjoyment - showering the SFA with many insightful and fascinating stats like which letters in usernames had the most kicks in a particular round, the correlation between underscores and underscoring, how does your username length impact your win/loss rate? And many many more stats!

On a positive note it just means we get to do it all again
