New Book - Best on Ground

#319038

Penguin have just launched a new book on the game - Best on Ground.
16 writers were asked to write about the odd religion called 'barracking' for their club - thankfully Fremantle were represented by the Docker Doyen (Sean Gorman).

The book is available on-line as of next week (and should be in our favorite bookshops very soon), rrp $32.95 (or about 5 of those cups of half strength at Subi).

Oh, I forgot to add...It's possible that Gormski might find time to sign a book or two. If you're interested, place a slab of Emu in the back of my ute at Shark Park on Saturday or Subi on Sunday - when it's full I'll run the idea past him.

A 'slab' of Emu? Is that Prictorian for a 'carton'?

Are you one of those 'wise men from the East' that those paranoid knobbers from up the road keep talking about?

If so, I'll see you at the Darby.

Haven't you heard of a Slab before, Nighttripper?

Hunnas and Clickas even wrote a song called Slab.

So the Gormatron likes a a few shandies on a warm arvo? Might get a bit hot at the Derby this weekend - I hope he brings his stubby holder.

Rumor has it that the Gormeister's bringing a ukulele - a few of those 2 pint long-necks and there might be a song or two. Keep your ears open around the main entry gates at Subi on Sunday.

Hopefully he'll belt out a few verses of his less successful project - an album of songs about the Krakouer brothers.

Oh Jim and Phil were brothers
they brought the VLF to it's knees
but what no one was ever sure of...
was that a racist ad for cheese.

They could run as fast as the wind
They could move with reflexes of a cat
But now they've put all that behind them
and bloody hell, hasn't Phil got fat.

[second chorus]

oooohhhhhhh......

The Krakouers they were sumfin'
for all of us to see,
but when they nailed poor Jimmy
they threw away the key.

Now Phil just kept a trying
while Jimmy stuck it out,
but no one really noticed
until Andrew came about.

So Gormie wrote their story
and Jimmy was let out,
and Phil stayed on in Melbourne
ate Maccas to potato out.

Guy, I do know what a slab is, and Hunnas were quite within their rights to sing a very fine song about it, being from Melbourne.

It's just that when yer in Dubyay you should speak like someone from Dubyay, which means using the correct terminology for a package containing twenty four beers. It's a carton. And there is nowhere more Dubyay than Bazzo as polly would understand.

I once asked for a carton at a bottle shop in Northcote and was cruelly mocked for being something akin to a hillbilly.
