I think we need to finish up this week’s practice with a little goal kicking, just to make sure we’re on top of things. 👍

Since it’s a chilly day today, we’ll get our blood pumping with some weights

um…wait…let’s try that again…

Geez, I’m hungrier than I thought.

We’ll all head to Drunkee’s now…

I started answering these and got about a quarter of the way through before getting supremely bored. I figured that if I was bored writing it, everyone else would be infinitely more bored to read it.

Actually, I'm at home sick (although in a remarkably similar position on the couch to where I normally work from) and have hit a deeper level of boredom, so I'm gonna do it. Sorry to anyone that bothers to read it.

What do you like better: waking up in the morning or going to bed at night?
Waking up in the morning. Going to bed is giving up.
Would you rather be a giant rodent or a tiny elephant?
A tiny elephant, which incidentally is a pretty good description of my post-covid physical form.
What would you do if you had a million dollars?
I'd stop looking at getting a new reproduction of those Hofner Beatles basses and just get a vintage one. Don't really care what happens with the other $993k.
If you had to eat a worm, how would you cook it?
What good is a worm if it's not a self-cooking worm, eh Matera92?
What is a weird habit that you have?
I like to smile at strangers when I walk around the neighbourhood.
If you had this week to do over again, what would you do differently?
I'd step in earlier and de-escalate a massive family feud between all my in-laws that lead to my brother-in-law announcing that he was never going to talk to my sister-in-law ever again and that his children weren't ever going to see her children again, plus some deep dark family secrets being revealed. That'd be nice.
Would you rather go without television or junk food for the rest of your life?
Junk food. I have no self-control and eat way too much of it (see my answer to question #2). Plus, TV is basically high art these days.
If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?
The best lives possible for my daughters; Greater perseverance; Some bloody peace and quiet whenever I want it
If money were no object, where would you like to go on vacation?
Those over-the-water huts in Bora Bora, although to be honest, Covid is more of a barrier than money to that right now.
Where is the most interesting place you have ever been to?
Berlin was an absolutely fascinating place to visit and I'd strongly encourage everyone to go there. The distinction between East and West is still very obvious and there is so much history to ingratiate yourself with, it'd take months to truly explore and understand it.
If you could make any vegetable against the law, which one would it be?
Are olives a vegetable? They're probably a fruit, but I'm gonna bend the rules on this question so I can say olives. Olives. Is that your final answer? Yes. Or maybe eggplant.
Would you rather not hear or not see?
Not see. If I couldn't hear, my life wouldn't be worth living. Although Dr Karl did say that when Mozart had gone deaf, he would hold a pencil in his mouth and hold it to the piano to "hear" the vibrations, but bypassing his ears. But that feels like it's cheating the question a little.
Would you rather wrestle a lion or fight a shark?
Fight a shark. Mick Fanning has proven that it can be done. You ain't coming out alive from a wrestle with a lion.
If you were sent to live on a space station for three months and only allowed to bring three personal items with you, what would they be?
An acoustic guitar, a Kindle and a Far Side desk calendar.
If you had your human body, but the head of an animal, what animal would you pick?
Well, a dragon, obviously.
What is one favorite thing you do by yourself?
Play a grand piano and sing at the top of my lungs.
If you could read one person’s mind, whose would it be?
My wife's. Life would be so much easier.
What is your favorite smell?
The smell of summer rain is intoxicating.
What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
My patented double-decker sandwich of vegemite, strawberry jam, honey, cheese and sprinkles. What a strange 7yo i was.
If you could be one character from a book for a day, who would it be and why?
Willy Wonka, for two reasons. One, obviously, is to eat as much chocolate and as many lollies as possible. The other is to try and work out what the actual hell is going on in that factory. Those oompa loompas are maniacs, I bet.
What does a perfect day look like to you?
Have a nice long sleep-in, then eat a croissant and bacon and egg roll for breakfast. Play at the the beach with my family for a while and then take the SUP out to surf on some perfect knee-high waves that no-one else is bothering to catch. Lunch is a vermicelli salad, before jumping on the tram to the SCG to see the Swans win a pulsating, high-scoring game and then hitting the hallowed turf afterwards for kick-to-kick. My parents would take my two daughters for the rest of the night and my wife and I would have a lovely Italian meal for dinner, followed by seeing a great local band supporting of one my favourite musicians (e.g. Beck or Iggy Pop or Aldous Harding or Sufjan Stevens etc). Get home to an empty house and make love passionately before falling asleep knowing that another sleep-in awaits.
If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be?
If I'm not going to get judged for animal cruelty and it's not going to rip my face off, then a chipmanzee.
If you could be in the movie of your choice, what movie would you choose and what character would you play?
Well it can't be any of my favourite movies because I'd absolutely ruin them. Maybe I could be the kid sitting in the barber's shop in Coming To America (that grew up to be Cuba Gooding Jr). That would've been pretty hilarious to be involved in.
Would you rather wear your pants backward or your shoes on the wrong feet?
I'm wearing soft fabric shorts right now and I reckon they'd be just as comfy back to front.
What three words would you use to describe yourself?
Gregarious, captivating, generous
What is your favorite song?
Heroes by David Bowie (not the radio edit though, as that misses the build-up of tension before he finally starts singing up the octave)
Would you rather be able to talk to animals or know how to talk in every language?
Talk in every language, without a doubt. Even the smartest Chimpanzee would be less enjoyable to talk than even a French-speaker.
If you could be a sound, what would it be?
A wet, juicy fart. Because it will absolutely disgust some people and make others laugh with delight.
If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
I've had a similar debate with friends for year around only having one country's cuisine for the rest of your life (Vietnamese, by the way) ... but one food? I'll go with chicken.

Ewwwwww - the Swamprats? Did you know that 50% of their income comes from milk production?

Worm doesn't taste like chicken, tastes like worm.

About a month :) (so within a week or so of your request)
I even swapped your wing/guero's wing around so that you'd get the premiership wing :D
