mully cup

Coming into last week we thought Danny Subasic had the Mully Cup in a lock despite stiff competition from Kaon Bell (you see what I did there?).

And then Jim’s Mowing burst onto the scene and national news headlines. It had the classic cars v. cyclist elements BUT with breathtaking video.

It proved an irresistible combination despite a late charge from the Klansmen of Gungahlin.

So congratulations to Jim’s Mowing taken out a hard fought Mully Cup for June by a comfortable margin.

For those who’ve forgotten here’s Canberra’s most prestigious trophy, taken from a rear view to highlight the rat’s tail.

(The Mully Cup is awarded monthly to the entity stimulating the most comment on this website It is named in memory (if not in honour) of Justin Mully Williams who both improved our world, and set the record for comments, in his departure)

We were promised a new, or at least renovated, cup. All you’re doing is creating a new lane around the rim. In my day, cups commemorating bogans were lovingly maintained by skilled craftsmen.

I heard that one too. I think the custom is to add/build up the existing base of trophy, particularly those of a perpetual nature. How about you glue that sucker to the table?

Why is the current cup now held together by a huge wad of what appears to be snot, or sperm?

My first reaction to this post was a huge WTF? However, closer examination of the pic in the OP does indeed reveal a rather over exuberant application of either Selleys Aquadhere, or semen, in affixing the Woody can to the base.

I sincerely hope it’s the former.

Chuck a giant owl on it!

Should there not be a Mully Cup handicap for mentioning cyclists?

indeed. June!

I think dpm was referring to the part of the article that says “…Mully Cup for *July* by a comfortable margin.” (emphasis mine)

Also, taken -> taking / for taking (?)

Is that some sort of Nerf Heavy Weapon in the background?

squad weapons are where it’s at.

That’s a quality looking nerf gun in the background JB…:)

Well done everyone. A classy performance by all, if only somehow we could have got climate change and religion into the same story we’d get some sort of Mully Armageddon.

cue monthly comment from someone complaining about honouring the cups namesake… how many posts will it take?
