It took me a minute to figure out what footy season was.

I mean, if there was a whole season for flirting with your date under the table with your shoes off, nobody told me.

Go Pies!!!

Also, the Toyota ads are a blatent rip of Phoenix from the flames

Thanks for that, seanyboy. I'd forgotten all about Fantasy Football. We got them during France '98 but then everyone lost interest in "soccer" again and FF disappeared as quickly as it came.

It's always disappointing when something Australian turns out to be "an homage". At least we can still be proud of AOL (Australia On Line), Australia's Funniest Home Videos, Australian Idol, and our other great contributions to world culture.

(I've got a funny feeling Miko's made it impossible for me to take football commentary seriously ever again.)

But hey - Go Pies!!!

I expected a modicum of approval/disapproval there. Or at least a small amount of astonishment that I have an AFL preference.

Well, as my Mum used to say, if you can't think of anything nice to say...


...you're probably a Pies fan. (My Mum, of course, never said anything of the sort having for one thing never heard of the Pies, though she doubtless would if she had.)

But now that you mention it, why any AFL preference at all? I know Channel Four used to show aussie rules games years ago. Do they still? And, yeah, why Collingwood? My guess would be some sort of Toon connection, but you're a Lancastrian or Manky or similar are you not?

And here I was expecting a bunch of regressive fetish videos with adult babies wearing footed pajama bottoms.

You people disappoint me.
