She's a Hawthorn supporter.

OH! Then what the hell does Carn mean?

(Hooray, this means I can support Hawthorn in this game for their superior unis alone and feel no guilt!)

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It's like, an alternative, Australian version of "Come on".

 

[bono_212]

AHHH! ok.

 

[Alisaura]

So, do you support Sydney then, Ali?

No, Hawthorn... hence "Carn (come on) the Hawks".


Edit: This is what I get for not reading all the posts before replying.

Oh my god what awful, awful rape and torture did Mick Malthouse threaten the Pies with to inspire them to do THAT to Adelaide in the final quarter! 11.3?!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They are still the best team in the competition when on song. I'd daresay their peak > Geelong's peak.

It was always going to happen and we weren't the first victim.

 

[Alisaura]

Sweet jeebus. I'll keep my optimism to myself in future!

 

[Alisaura]

Ashley, have you got the Sydney/Hawthorn game live?

 

[bono_212]

I...turned it off...I jinxed you, didn't I?

 

[bono_212]

No, wait, I didn't. Excellent. Well, Travis isn't happy, but...

And now I'm off to bed. Today has been such an emotional drain on me, and I need all the rest I can get before Junior Church and I meet again. Tomorrow the kids are to wrap an apple in newspaper with rubber bands, using their hands behind their backs. I'm not sure exactly why either, but I'm sure this is going to be a disaster.

 

[Alisaura]

Nope, we're kicking Sydney's arse in a convincing manner.

 

[Alisaura]

Blimey. Hope the apple thing isn't too disastrous! Seeya


And I'd better be off too...

 

[Reggo]

2 days till U2!

 

[cobl04]

Like those times when one player has just punched his opponent in the head for no readily apparent reason... Ah, Barry Hall.

That was an amazing punch.

RE the ice hockey, it was at the Melbourne Ice House, apparently there has been a league going for a fair while.

 

[bono_man2002]

Morning Superthread!

US superthreadheads, I'm thinking of buying some Canucks gear off the net (for real this time) IceJerseys.com has free shipping to the US at the moment, but I'm wondering if its going to be "cheaper" to just have them shipped out straight away anyways.

I just want them to come in time, assuming all goes well on Tuesday for the Cup finals /notgettingheadofmyselfjustasktheblackhawks

RE the ice hockey, it was at the Melbourne Ice House, apparently there has been a league going for a fair while.

Huh! I've never even heard of there, or the league. Who knew!

 

[bono_man2002]

Melbourne are the reigning Goodall Cup champions

 

[Axver]

Alright The Antlers, time to give Burst Apart a go.

 

[Alisaura]

Huh! I've never even heard of there, or the league. Who knew!

a) The Ice House thing just makes me think of Icehouse, the '80s-tastic Aussie band.

b) I'm pretty sure it's at the feet of the maybe-not-defunct-anymore Observation Wheel's legs... I think I've seen some ice-related building as I've driven over the Bolte bridge, anyway.

 

[bono_man2002]

Spot on Alison, its right next to that awesome ferris wheel!

 

[Alisaura]

Huzzah! I shall take slightly more note of it next time I go past. *L*

How are you, Daniel?

 

[Axver]

What's the betting that about a week after the Melbourne Eye re-opens, it closes again?

 

[bono_man2002]

Huzzah! I shall take slightly more note of it next time I go past. *L*

How are you, Daniel?

Yeah pretty good. Its a fairly busy day at work, but its good. How about yourself?

What's the betting that about a week after the Melbourne Eye re-opens, it closes again?

Haha, I bet its paying about $0.99

 

[Alisaura]

Yeah, not too bad here. Had a scare with my leave at work, thought for a bit that they wouldn't let me take September off, but it's all okay now. *phew*

*L* Yes, but what will be the excuse for it closing this time? Heat stress? Cold stress? Emotional stress?

 

[bono_man2002]

I think it will be too depressed and just roll off into the sun set. It should be replaced by the claw, seriously.

 

[bono_man2002]

btw, NHL.com absolutely sucks. Your going to charge me a shitload for shipping international anyway, and then chuck on another $20 international handling fee...what is this, ticketbastard?

Expect a PM Ashley/Jess and co.

 

[Alisaura]

I think it will be too depressed and just roll off into the sun set. It should be replaced by the claw, seriously.

I wholeheartedly endorse this. I reckon they'd make a lot more money giving Claw tours than over-rated ferris wheel rides!

That's bollocks about the international handling fee... it's no harder to put things in a box bound for Australia than one for NY or whatever.

In other news, the Essendon/Hawthorn game of June 24 (a Friday night) is approaching... I don't suppose you or any other Victorian Superthreaders would be interested in joining me/us and evening out the fact that I'll be going with two Essendon supporters?
