Official Match Thread Season 35 | Round 4 | Sin City Swamprats vs East Side Phoenix @ Underground Stadium

[por_please_ya]

That sucks porps and not the first time I’ve heard of public service not following correct procedures. I was going to send my previous work place to an icac investigation for hiring a family member without correct procedures and for lying on a conflict of interest form. Hope everything goes ok I know how stressful these situations can be.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.

And yes I remember your situation and was really frustrated on your behalf. Glad you got out of there!

 

[BloodySwan]

It’s confused because you have a hotdog in a roll not between two pieces of bread

That'd be a lot of bread!

2 sausages & onion and sauce between 2 slices of bread of definitely a sandwich!

If all else fails, just set the place alight as you walk out.

response from AI

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide a positive response to this statement. Setting a place on fire as you leave is a reckless and dangerous action that can cause harm to people, animals, and property. Not only is it illegal, but it puts the lives of firefighters, residents, and bystanders at risk. There are many other options available when dealing with difficult situations, and setting a fire should never be considered a viable solution. Instead, it's essential to seek help and find constructive ways to solve problems without resorting to destructive behavior. If you are struggling with a problem, please seek help from a professional or trusted friend or family member. Let's all work together to create a safer and more peaceful community.

From CHB position on the ground, A challenging feat is surely found, To score 10 goals in AFL play, But with some tips, you might just sway.

Turnovers are your friend, it's true, Intercept the ball and quickly pursue, Transition it into the forward line, Create scoring chances, oh so fine.

As a defender, you're far from the goal, But long-range shots can be your role, Practice your kicking with precision, And you might just make a goal-scoring decision.

So take heart and give it your all, With these tips, you may just stand tall, As a CHB who kicks 10 goals or more, And leaves the opposition feeling sore.

Is a burger a sandwich or is a sandwich a burger?

 

[BloodySwan]

Is a burger a sandwich or is a sandwich a burger?

Yo, what's up, my homie? Let me break it down for you real quick. Now, some people might try to tell you that a burger is just a type of sandwich, but I gotta tell you, that's straight up whack. A burger is its own thing, it's in a league of its own.

You see, a sandwich is any kind of food that's made with two pieces of bread and some sort of filling in between. It could be a PB&J, it could be a turkey and cheese, it could be a Reuben - you get the picture. But a burger? A burger is a whole different animal, my dude.

A burger is a patty of ground beef (or sometimes other meats) that's been cooked up and placed on a bun. Sure, you can put all sorts of toppings on it, but at its core, a burger is a burger. It's not a sandwich, it's not a wrap, it's not a taco. It's a burger, plain and simple.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love me some sandwiches. I've had some epic sammies in my day, and I'm always down to try something new. But you gotta give the burger its due. It's a classic, an icon, a true American staple. So let's not try to lump it in with the other sandwiches, alright? It's its own thing, and it deserves our respect.

In the swampy depths, where the mist lies thick, Lives a creature sly and quick.

The swamprat is its name, with fur as black as night, A nimble spirit, quick to take flight.

Rice bubbles with cream, forget this perception it can only be eaten for breakfast & just go for it.

Up your game, coco pops and cream is the bomb

I'll go safe with rice bubbles and then go all out on coco pops

So a taco IS a sandwich? That makes total sense.

I feel they are either ALL sandwiches or NONE of them are

What!?! A taco is 1 wrap, how can that be a sandwich? I think you could argue a quesadilla is a sandwich though

 

[philreich]

Good game, let’s play how short of a time can I pop into work without them noticing I bailed for the day?

Apparently I'm actually more productive when I'm not in the office......

 

[philreich]

Sorry I haven't been around today everyone. Work has been stressful. In a nutshell I applied for my supervisor's role as she's retiring. Got interviewed yada yada. I didn't get it but I still haven't been formally told... I found out through two other colleagues, both of whom didn't realise that I didn't know yet. I sent an email to my Director and Supervisor about it. Got a reply from the former with some weak excuses why, and turns out the correct recruitment process hasn't been followed in terms of when they were supposed to let me know -_-
I have a meeting with the two of them tomorrow morning and I'm a little freaked out. Want to be assertive and calm and get my point across effectively. It's going to be hard
Wish me luck.

A situation like that would be the perfect time to win Powerball - you could have gone to the office briefly this morning to tell them where to stick their job!!!

For some reason I suddenly thought of the time my wife (she wasn't my wife at the time - if she had been, I might have ended up in jail, because she was about 14 at the time ) went to McDonald's with her family. She ordered a Fillet O' Fish - when it arrived, she happened to notice that it said on the box, "This product is 100% Australian beef." It appears they don't make fish like they used to......

Love David Thorne!!!!!!!!!!!!



I quite like Simon; he's like the school teacher that would pull you aside after class and list, for an hour, every bad aspect of your personality and why you will never get anywhere while you nod and pretend to listen while thinking about how tight Sally Watts jeans were that day and wishing you were at home playing Choplifter on the family's new Amstrad.

I worked with Simon for a while at a branding agency called de Masi jones. Simon was employed to bring in new clients yet somehow managed to be there for several months without bringing in a single one before leaving to pursue his own projects.

The lack of new clients could partly be attributed to Simon being too busy writing angry emails to other de Masi jones employees such as: "When I worked at Olgilvy in Hong Kong, everyone called me Mr Edhouse and said that I was doing a great job. Not once did the secretary there call me a w***er or have her grotty old g-strings poking out the top of her fat arse everyday making me feel ill."

Simon once sent me thirty eight angry emails in a single day because I asked him if he owned more than one tie.

Subject: Logo Design

Hello David,

I'd like to catch up as I'm working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I need to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I'll also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website.

If the deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.

Simon

Dear Simon,

Disregarding the fact that you still haven't paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment.

Please find attached pie chart as requested. Let me know of any changes required.

Is that supposed to be a f***ing joke? I told you the previous projects did not go ahead. I invested a lot more time and energy in those projects than you did.

If you put as much energy into the projects as you do being a dickhead you'd be a lot more successful.

Dear Simon,

You are correct and I apologise. Your last project was actually both commercially viable and original. Unfortunately the part that was commercially viable was not original, and the part that was original was not commercially viable.

I'd no doubt find your ideas more 'cutting edge' if I'd traveled forward in time from the 1950s, but as it stands, your ideas for technology based projects that have already been put into application by other people several years before you thought of them fail to generate the enthusiasm they possibly deserve. Having said that, if I had traveled forward in time, my time machine would probably put your peer to peer networking technology to shame; not only would it have commercial viability, but also an awesome logo and accompanying pie charts.

Regardless, I have, as requested, attached a logo that represents not only the peer to peer networking project you are currently working on, but working with you in general.

Regards, David

You just crossed the line. You have no idea about the potential this project has. The technology allows users to network peer to peer, add contacts, share information and is potentially worth many millions of dollars and your short sightedness just cost you any chance of being involved.

Dear Simon,

So you've invented Twitter. Congratulations. This is where that time machine would definitely have come in quite handy.

When I was about twelve, I read that time slows down when approaching the speed of light so I constructed a time machine by securing my father's portable generator to the back of my mini-bike with rope and attaching the drive belt to the back wheel. Unfortunately, instead of traveling through time and finding myself in the future, I traveled about fifty metres along the footpath at 200mph before finding myself in a bush. When asked by the nurse filling out the hospital accident report "Cause of accident?" I stated 'time travel attempt' but she wrote down 'stupidity'.

If I did have a working time machine, the first thing I would do is go back four days and tell myself to read the warning on the hair removal cream packaging where it recommends not using on sensitive areas.

I would then travel several months back to warn myself against agreeing to do copious amounts of design work for an old man wielding the business plan equivalent of a ******ed child poking itself in the eye with a spoon, before finally traveling back to 1982 and explaining to myself the long term photographic repercussions of going to the hairdresser and asking for a haircut exactly like Simon LeBon's the day before a large family gathering.

You really are a f***ing idiot and have no idea what you are talking about. The project I'm working on will be more successful than twitter within a year. When I sell the project for 40 million dollars I will ignore any emails from you begging to be a part of it and will send you a postcard from my yacht.

Dear Simon,

Actually, you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken me a few hours and fifteen years experience. For free. With pie charts.

Usually when people don't ask me to design them a logo, pie charts or website, I, in return, do not ask them to paint my apartment, drive me to the airport, represent me in court or whatever it is they do for a living. Unfortunately, as your business model consists entirely of "Facebook is cool, I'm going to make a website just like that", this non exchange of free services has no foundation as you offer nothing of which I wont ask for.
