I will support whichever team does not contain Jason Akermanis.
Is that due to a general hatred of a wanker, or for a particular reason?
I can't say I know the feller, but I mistook him for the mayor of Wank City.

He is without a doubt the least likeable person playing in the AFL today. (Since the retirement of Wayne Carey.) Just an insupportable showoff, and the trouble is he rarely suffers the bitter penalties of hubris because his team always wins! Hence, yesterday v. enjoyable.

Just noticed a flash ad on tv.zap2it.com. McLeod's Daughters makes its US debuts on the WE channel this Saturday Oct 2.
The show isn't my cup o' tea but it excites me to see an Aussie show on US television (albeit a small[?] cable channel). Especially since it's filmed just outside of Gawler, which is about 35 miles from Adelaide, and not in an eastern state.
ETA: Just had to email the site and correct an error on their "Aussie Slang Dictionary". They have: "Nappie - Short for napkin", which is a tad incorrect. A "Nappie" is actually the Aussie term for a "Diaper". :)

Well, it's still short for "napkin" jimi, just not the dinner table kind.

Watch out Hugh and Russell, here comes ...
Mel Brooks's comment in a Playbill interview that he would like Australian comic Bert Newton to appear in his movie version of The Producers musical has raised questions about whether -- as previously announced -- Will Ferrell will appear in the movie. In the recent interview, Brooks remarked, "An Australian chap named Bert Newton plays Franz Liebkind in the show Down Under and he gives the best performance of that role I've ever seen, frankly. ... I'd love Newton to be involved." However, Ferrell was reportedly in talks to play the role of Liebkind, the writer of "the worst musical ever written," and Brooks had announced that he planned to expand the role for him. Asked about Brooks's comments Thursday, Newton replied only, "Well, it's the first I've heard of it, and what a thrill." In Brooks's original 1969 movie, Liebkind was played by Kenneth Mars, who later appeared in Brooks's Young Frankenstein. On Broadway, the character was played by Brad Oscar, who received a Tony nomination for his performance.
... Bert Newton?

Ha ha, that's fantastic! I've always believed Bert should be a worldwide celebrity...

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Wake UP, Europe!
I've flinched away from the Hitchhiker's discussion, behind a sour memory of drunkenly exclaiming "Yes! I know where my towel is!" to a hall unfortunately full of strags at an SF convention.
Then there was something about Port Adelaide and athletics.
Nothing. I have nothing on that topic.
Bert Newton -vs- Will Ferrell, however … Is this really a question? Bert rules.
