Another mystery message left on my phone: "Listen, mate ... it's easy and quick money ... but it's just not worth it ... don't even think about it."
No idea. But this week I won't be putting that ten dollars on the Footy Bet. Just to play things safe, you understand.
Well it wasn't me. But if you want to give me some dough, go ahead.

You still owe me for the television.
Cash will be fine, thank you.

Lucky you didn't do it. Look at those poor 9 kids who did.

Dodged a bullet there.
Wa-Hey! Bullet. Good one, me.

How can I put this? Its in the mail.

I once sent cash in the mail. Two dollars for a pair of those X-Ray specks on the back of a superhero comic book.
I never got them.

And a Charles Atlas weakling-to-macho book.

Another mystery message left on my phone: "Listen, mate ... it's easy and quick money ... but it's just not worth it ... don't even think about it."
On The Footy Show last night they were talking about Benny Cousins and Michael Gardiner and their recent "publicity".
Then they went to the team lineups. "Yada yada yada and Gardiner is out with a knee injury…" and then Brownie loudly pipes up in the background while the graphic was up "Free trip to Bali!"
Eddie ignored it but I reckon I could hear a few muffled titters of disbelief. It didn't quite fit in with anything, but it was as good a time as any to yell it out. It was one of those jokes that got progressively funnier the more I thought about it.
James Hird and Spider were also on fire. Yep, that's right. James Hird.
Peeps over on the Big Footy forum reckon Spider should be the regular novelty bogan panellist, not Fev. I kinda agree.
Er, carry on then.

I don't watch The Footy Show, nor do I much like Nathan Brown (assuming it was him, of course), but that's gold.
I definitely prefer Spider over Fevola. For some reason, more than likely his hair, I hate Fevola.
Gardiner is a big blouse, too. Sadly, though, he's in my Dream Team and costs me big by not running around like a tit and picking up soft points.

Yes, Nathan Brown.
It was also revealed that Captain Kirk of Sydney likes to pash other men when drunk. Brownie and Hird both being recipients on the most recent Ireland tour.
Hird said that Kirk licked his whole face. Oh, and he also threw a TV at him in the hotel.
-See what yer missing, Big Tone?!

The smart money is on West Coast putting on a Power-like run of form together because Cousins will have no face after a random knife-falling incident and Gardiner will be driving over the border with a pokie machine full of meth in the back of his ute cos he's doing it for a favour.

I ask you: If it really was the wrong number, how did he happen to get yours? The probability of getting your number by dialing random numbers is very close to zero.
Posted by: jorgen | 12 May 2005 at 15:08
Maybe it was a number close to another. I used to know a person whose number was one numeral different to a radio station's talk-back line and she used to get many, many wrong'uns.

Well, you can try that story on the Judge.

He'd buy it, I'm sure. I've got a pretty face.
