Slangathon
Here at The Terrace, we’ve decided it’s time one of our valued and loyal readers get something back for nothing. Not that anyone pays to read this, but that’s another story. We’re offering you the chance to win the very popular 2009 Footy Almanac. Courtesy of editors John Harms and Paul Daffey, it’s the ideal companion for a mojito on Corio Bay beach during the festive season. You can relive the glory of our Grand Final victory no less than 5 times (there are five reviews of the game).
Don't judge the book by its cover - we all know he is a knob.
Here’s a teaser to get you salivating:
“Saturday. Early arvo. I am having a couple of nerve-settlers in the cricketers Bar at the Windsor. It’s full of Geelong supporters. We farewell a bloke in his motorised wheelchair about to make his way down Spring Street. Cheers. It’s like Albany in 1914. I walk. A Japanese tourist, a beautiful women in her mid-twenties, has unwittingly worn a clinging blue-and-white hooped top. Geelong fans are stopping to have their photo taken with her. She is utterly, uttlery perplexed…”
To WIN, all you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post with some rhyming slang that ties in with Geelong FC (player, place, anything). Here are a couple to get you started:
- Buddha Hocking – Christmas stocking
- Gary Ablett – Panadol tablet
- Max Rook – Rookery nook
- Austin McCrabb – VB slab
The winning slang, judged by Harmsy this Friday (we haven’t asked him but are hoping he’ll do us a favour!), will take home the bacon. Or Footy Almanac. Well, you know what we mean.
Happy slanging,
The Terrace
