Happy Goalkicking gab213 Day

Ramping up my pre-game preparations starting with a small snack

Checking the padding on the goalpost making sure it's secure. This is very important as I spend half my time leaning up against it

The final touch, suspending my hammock between the posts, very important as I need to take multiple power naps during the game

It always makes me uneasy when I see Pugsley doing handstands in the vicinity of the goalposts......Bad Boy!

 

[gab213]

I don't want to make any big statements BUT I believe whoever wins this game will play in the grand final next week.

Big call, I know. I will stand with my convictions.

Can you give us a margin?

 

[Kilroy]

Hmmm! Might be worth watching.

 

[HARPSichord]

Can you give us a margin?

I can't see it being any bigger than 150 points either way. You can quote me on that!

4:30 pm AEDT … but knowing philreich he’ll probably be late.

Better late than never

hehehe… it is that really painful time of year where there are heaps of end of school year concerts and speech nights. From long experience attending such events I have some interesting equations

• I hour of school concert = 24 hours of watching grass grow
• school speech night causes an interest in placing pins in one’s eyes and driving tent pegs into one’s ears
• speech nights and concerts are affronts o public decency and should be banned.

Having carefully reviewed the selections and form of both teams I am predicting the Gumbies will smite the Bombers everywhere except the scoreboard. Bumblers to win by 3.

Any chance of a belly dance if we win?

Only after a bowl of hot curry.

Just like the Titanic going down

The 5 minutes your kid is on stage is great.
The rest is awful

my favourite Oz punk band came from Gippy and was called Rrr, Rrr Rural and my Tractor won’t start.

No need to be an octopus about fish

 

[GWS Goose]

Only 2 1/2 hours to go

 

[Mop]

Time ticks ever closer

 

[Mop]

We await.

 

[gab213]

We await.

Don't know how much more of this excitement I can take:

4:30 pm AEDT … but knowing philreich he’ll probably be late.

I can guarantee it'll be 4.30pm somewhere in the world, by the time I start posting.
