And the winner is Sydeney!
The winner really isn’t Sydeney, but it would have been nice to see if Juan Antonio Samaranch got the gist of our rhyming slangfest. Unlikely. Speaking of presidents, did anyone read the article about Edwardo McGuire and the torrent of abuse at the latest Collingwood AGM? Great stuff.
And is it really true that Cameron Cloke is the key to port power’s premiership campaign for 2010? Ho ho.
Anyhow, on a more serious note, Harmsy has been poring over the swag of slangathon entries in an attempt to pick a diamond from what he described as “a superb field”. Some of the better entries were:
Jamie Lamb – (Christmas) Ham
Jimmy Bartel – (Cosy) cartel
James Kelly – (New York) deli
Scratcher Neal – (Potato) Peel
Cameroon Mooney – (Psychotic) Looney
Billy Goggin – (Kid’s) Toboggan
Rod Blake – (Well-done) steak
James McLure – (Salmon) Lure
Dwayne Russell – (Love) Muscle
Andrew Bews – (Geelong) News
Paul Couch – (Money) Pouch
David Mensch – Bench
Joel Corey – (Morning) Glory
Reg Hickey – Sicky
Spiro Malakellis – Well, that’s just too hard.
Matthew Scarlett – (Toe-poke) starlet
Micky Turner – (Slow) learner
Brett Spinks – (Round of) drinks
And the winner is…’Jimmy’ with: “i don’t know about you – but I was a bit Ian Nankervis (nervous) when she was all tied up in the last quarter on Sept 26……”. Great work, Jimmy. It was a tough call and you got extra credit for your fine sentence construct. Your Almanac will be in the post – once you tell us where you live!
For anyone who wants a special Terrace deal on the Almanac (we can’t remember the discount but it was a sweet deal!), contact the Footy Almanac @ footyalmanac@bigpond.com for more details.
Yours christmasfully,
