[philreich]

If you'd invested your ClarkMonies wisely you'd be retired by now.
But alas you're stuck posting game threads for $13 dollars a day for the next 40 years.

Being married does slow things down a little......

Just got the complete Benny Hill series on DVD . Boy oh Boy what a treat it is.

As funny and offensive as Port Adelaide in finals under Ken, philreich

Love Benny Hill:

Woman: Sir, do you think I've got the body of a 17 year old?
Benny: Yeah give it back - you're putting wrinkles in it.

This week, we’re heading off on a noble mission to entertain the Roys at their retirement home! They’ve been waiting all week for our visit, so let’s make sure we bring everything they love. I’m talking boiled lollies, crossword puzzles, a nice set of dominoes, and maybe even some warm milk for those sleepy pre game naps.

We’re not just here for the Qooty, but to brighten their days and maybe challenge them to a few rounds of bingo or bridge. Before we beat them on the field, we can try to win at their favourite games too.

So, let’s give these old timers a show, they’ve got the wisdom, but we’ve got the energy to keep them on their toes! Join the match thread and let’s give the Roys a week of entertainment they’ll never forget... if they can remember it!

Let's start with a little bit of humour:

An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution. His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.

As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about, 'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'!!

Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.

While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.

Finally realising what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news. As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.

'They're not hanging Wright tonight,' she said.

He whirled around and screamed, "FFS woman don't you ever let up?"

It's 10 v 12 in this game, so a harsh critic might look at this fixture and declare, "Big deal", in context of the season. But if one has a closer look at the ladder, there's only 4 premiership points plus percentage separating 5th and 12th, so there's still plenty to play for, for both of these teams.

Let's look at the players from each team, who starred and embarrassed themselves in the last round:

Roys

Who’s hot

3KZ is Football: 34 possessions, 5 marks & a goal

SpecialBruce: 32 possessions 9 marks & a goal

Who’s not

Roylion: 1 handball

Mooch: -3DT, 1 free against

Bears

Who’s hot

Millky95: 24 possessions, 8 tackles & 4 goals

Cap: 22 hit outs, 27 possessions & 5 tackles

Who’s not

kane249: 3 possessions

Art Vandelay_: 3 possessions & 1 goal

Who wins?

Who knows - my tipping recently has been about as reliable as an American presidential election promise. I'll say the Bears will triumph by 7 points.

Captains: please post your team sheets by 11.59pm AWST on Thursday!

I’m HOT
