Cricket and BBQ in the park - UPDATED

Hooray for ‘stupid organisational questions’, it’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one who worries about these things.
Not that I was in the slightest bit concerned about cricket accessories, just in general.

Horray for your ass.

And, indeed, for your mutha.

have some faith, my ass is on the muthaf*cka.

Can I ask a stupid orgainsiational question – is anybody planning on bringing a bat and a ball?

Yes, I know somebody probably is, but I’ve been to events where the planning didn’t quite reach that stage…

Yep, the “turn up, burn meat, drink beer, get bowled out repeatedly” plan I’ve got seems much simpler…

Sounds exceedingly complex

I was politely reminded of this event last night when I called Thumper to ask him to come to an exclusive event – the kind of event that could have those permanent name etched in stone/bust statues of us opportunity for Thumper and I.

We will try our damnest to arrive, but may be late, or drunk, or late and drunk.

I suspect the latter. We might also need to arrange police immunity to make it past all those booze/drug driving/speeding bust spots that are planned this weekend as the event is interstate.

sounds delightful!

I’ll bring a pavlova, shall I?

Hooray!

“I’ll lead the left-wing cheer squad, with bursts of passion undermined by apathy due to exhaustion.”

Love it Jey!!!!!

So, looks like it’s going to be beer/wine and dominoes (the game – not the pizzas!) in the park then?

I’ll lead the left-wing cheer squad, with bursts of passion undermined by apathy due to exhaustion.

perhaps id be better serving as a non-biased, incorruptible umpire in the hair model.

well for me i’m only agile when I fall over… I do it so quickly with the grace of a 3 legged elephant.

“I am suprisingly agile for a fat bastard.”

Same here; but only when I’m after food or beer!

AD, that might be okay while you’re batting, but bowling and fielding could be a bit of a bugger.

hold on isn’t menzies considered a lefty these days given how far right john the facist has moved the liberal party.

“Incidentally, how are we making up teams. “The rabid right wingers” verses the “limp-wristed lefties”? With JB running between us as a libertarian?”

The “Menzies” vs the “Whitlams”?

AD, that might be okay while you’re batting, but bowling and fielding could be a bit of a bugger.

me vs everyone.. I reckon that is fair.. have had enough practice from this site.

Nah – bonfire’s more of a rabid with asymetric hippy tendancies.

From memory, you’re a firm believer that the world was much better in the fifties, before the femmo-softo-lezzo-crats took over. So you’d be in with the rabitds.

Bonfire: You are on the recumbant cyclists team.

which team am i on ?

I think that last criteria applies to everyone.

Incidentally, how are we making up teams. “The rabid right wingers” verses the “limp-wristed lefties”? With JB running between us as a libertarian?

Fine, I’ll hold the beer in the field. But don’t expect me to run after the ball or try and catch it as I will not risk ruining my makeup, chipping a nail, breaking a sweat or, more importantly, dropping a beer.

And there’s always the empty beer case at one of close in fielding position that adopts the name boonie.

Sacred beer holding can be called “fielding” if the teams are large enough…

I’ll join you in the sacred beer holding, Lurker Girl.
I don’t do sport.

I can’t play cricket for shit, but I’ll come along and hold the beers. And, in true blogger comment form, will criticise you all and tell you that you are crap at something I know nothing about.

Thanks for the invite!

Melb, Vic?

Only if you call your kid “Taneeshar Nevaeh Bitterman”.

Don’t. Think of the children.

you mean faggs, Vic.

I’d be a goer for that weekend – be good to meet some of yous! 🙂

But, alas, if my next child hasn’t been born by then, then it won’t be far off, so such excursions will be off limits.

I look forward to being tagged a bogan parent by some of you pompous fags however, when the birth announcement appears on the CT.

You’ve been told Kerces!

After mistakenly thinking that was a good weekend to go to the coast and subsequently been corrected, I shall also attend said criket game. As long as I can field in the shade.

My partner works for CSC, he’s out at Barton atm though.

I should be there, with all my allergy safe food – hooray!

I promise to come. Yes, honestly. I’ve given my excuses in the past (no, excuses aren’t necessary, but some of us were brought up to believe it’s polite). But this time I promise, scouts honour, to make it.

hahaha…classic.

I had a few of them shouting the other day…

It’s a very interesting place, you get all types hanging out at the shops. I’ll never forget an incident where a big hairy bogan working on one of the building sites stomps into the takeaway run by the little Indian guy, with an unopened longneck of VB in his hand (bought from next door), and says “I got 2 bucks, give me 2 bucks worth of chips”! The shop guy says “chips are $2.50”, and the big guy shouts “I just told you I only got 2 dollars ya curry muncher”, to which the little guy shouts out (in his accent, of course), “THEN GO TO THE BLOODY BANK”.

Damn near pissed myself laughing.

Great standard of locals we get around the office hey? Woodstock bourbon cans for breakfast!

Cool…I’m with CSC.

Hey JustBands, I’m with a private sector consulting outfit in AusIndustry house, next door to CSC.

Ah yes, how could I forget the handcuffs.

So long as she doesn’t have a meatcleaver in the other hand, we should all get out of there alive.

don’t forget the handcuffs

I’ll know that it’s time to run when some 40-something approaches with a video camera in hand.

> … and I look over that park from my office window!

My building is right behind the little supermarket/grog shop…who do you work for?

come on Mr evil… once in a lifetime opportunity. Literally.

ah BRC Special Care Unit

That is certainly true, AD – maybe I shouldn’t go to the cricket in case she turns up?

Some forms of desire should be kept well hidden and/or locked up!

both

Does she play for the inmates or the patients now?

ah but she can with you… given your previous suggestions of desire towards her..

AD, you can’t play touch when an AVO is in place!

Yes, but the problem is that she doesn’t let go of the ball(s). so perhaps a game of touch is in order.

“i heard crazychester bowls a mean googly.”

Yes, but the problem is that she doesn’t let go of the ball(s).

as usual there really is no need to offer excuses.

i heard crazychester bowls a mean googly.

Where’s my citation? :P~

I can’t come either – going to be in Sydney that weekend for a wedding.

its the last metal for the brain. I have never been to one because I am not a massive ‘metal’ fan… but I feel I should at least go to one and why not the last one. if I don’t go.. I will play cricket.. and will bamboozle everyone with my slow paced non-turning offies.

I already know that jesus wants pump my ass full of love… I just aint ready for that kind of conversion. Amway is more evil than any religion I know…

you can always stop by between sets AD.

AD: Metal For The Brain or Cricket In The Park – how could you not go for Cricket In The Park?

Anyway, I’d like to meet you so that I can show you how Jesus or Amway could change your life. 🙂

that isn’t the same date as metal for the brain is it??

… and I look over that park from my office window!

I won’t play golf that arvo, so see you there.

Bugger – I fly off to holidays that day.
Count me in for the next one though.

Sounds great, but I don’t respond well to drinking and exercise – hell, I can’t stand exercise!

But the lying around drinking sounds very good.
