Official Match Thread Season 38 Round 17: Ophidian Old Boys vs Las Vegas Bears @ Spotswood Oval

[Braklet]

The big question is how early does this phenomenon start? Surely not before December 1st

I hope not, a quick bit of Googling doesn't reveal anything in the news. Yet.

 

[Chipmunk]

We've an annoying phenomenon in the States, where some radio stations switch to a Christmas-music-only format.

Mariah and Wham are already in the top 100 in the UK!

Christmas music is great but I prefer to just listen to it on my own terms

I’ll even listen to my favourite ones in July much to Chipmunk ’s horror

Barring music, everything else Christmas related is December related to me but I understand going the full month ie from late November onwards as well

I miss Ned

Same here, he was a great poster who was the best at the argy bargy style of posting.
Ned_Flanders hasn't been seen on BigFooty for over a year so it appears he is lost to the place

In some ways more an indictment on modern musicians that they can't come up with something more playable to the masses.

I actually have a few Wham albums. I'm not embarrassed to admit that i like a few of their songs.

Everyone talks about George Michael, but there was Andrew Ridgeley and Pepsi and Shirlie the female backing vocalists as well!

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Jimmy Eat World are quite possibly my favourite band ever, i don't play them often enough here!

Anyway i love their version of Wham's last Christmas.

Given what happened recently on the SRP board he loved, I don't blame him

News just in from a senior's pole vaulting event in Helsinki, where ex world champion Sergei Bubka cleared a massive 6.2 metres at his second attempt. However he was then beaten into second place by a Mariah Carey record, which cleared the entire stadium!!!

There's a lot of good new music, but way too much of it seems to stick to the "synthesizer + excess bass + Auto-Tune" formula. Boring!

I really hate that sound that started to come into vogue around 2012/2013. Imagine Dragons would be a good example of what i'm on about here.

That sound is all over the Scripts latter albums as well i just hate it! Pop music has been in bit of a rut for the last decade and a bit imo.

Turbo can hold fire on that until the back to back flag grand final winning celebrations.

Waiting for a Xmas song from Tigerturbulance

A guy I used to work with had a female Chinese colleague who he couldn't stand. Her first name was Ning, but he affectionately referred to her as Fish Head. The year he retired, I texted this to him:

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a Fish Head free year
Good tidings we bring
To you without Ning
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a Fish Head free year .

 

[Robertio]

Rooty giving you the sad face...

I haven't even seen an A&W since the 1970s, they used to have a couple of stands on the way to the Colorado River, in Twentynine Palms IIRC.

I'm not a huge float fan in general, prefer to keep my ice cream out of my beverages.

I did try a Guinness float once, Robertio.

Only once mate, how do you make Guinness float?

Yoko will give it a go

Yoko will give it a go

Wasn't she awful?

Wasn't she awful?

She certainly was. Nails on blackboard stuff.

Put the can in an inner tube

Turbo leaves her for dust.

I just dumped some vanilla ice cream in mine, but didn't think it was that great.

These people make it a bit more complex, not sure it would help.

Guinness Float

The perfect finale to a dinner party, this Guinness float is decadence in a pint glass. The rich, velvety and complex flavors of Guinness stout are complemented by a creamy scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce to create the ultimate adult milkshake.

I'd rather have the Guinness and the ice cream separately.
