FLOORSHOW PROMISED
Feisty commenter T-SAW (to use one of his many titles) sends a cheerful email:
G’day Timmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay,
I saw your post about the proposed celebration at the Bellevue on Friday and your attendance along with that of some other wingnuts. Well I thought in the interests of community spirit that I’d pass along the details to some mates who used to be, amongst other things, BLF members. They were very interested in it and intend on bringing a group to join in the festivities on Friday. They mentioned something about what those blokes did to the channel 7 cameraman is gonna look like a massage when their done.
Anyway just thought I’d let you know what a fun evening your in for. Be sure to have a good time. Might stop round with a camera in case there’s any action.
Ex-BLF members, you say? Scary. That union was deregistered nearly 20 years ago, so I guess we’d better be alert for any punchy pensioners. (By the way, how dare T-SAW libel unionists! I encourage former BLF members to sue him over these disgraceful violence claims.) Meanwhile, GoughFest celebrations are also planned in Melbourne, Queensland, Western Australia, Texas, and the UK.
So T-SAW’s resorted to threatening you with violence?

Posted by Spiny Norman on 2005 11 09 at 02:17 PM • permalinkI haven’t laughed so much in years. T-SAW’s very, very lame attempt at intimidation and Tim’s response are indicative of what is wrong with the left all over the world.
It’s always the same - some dickhead makes an incredible statement, which is dismembered in an ato-second by someone with clearly more intellect and the ability to (heaven forbid) apply facts and common sense.
There is, however, some potential benefit in T-SAW’s plan. If, and it’s a big if, he has managed to crack the secret to getting anyone associated with the BLF to get off their arse and actually do something that would involve physical exertion, something that the ACTU and Government failed to do for all those years, he might consider running for President of the ACTU.Posted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 2005 11 09 at 02:50 PM • permalinkIf I fly all the way from Virginia, can I hold Wronwright’s jacket while he punches the shit out of T-SAW?
Posted by Stoop Davy Dave on 2005 11 09 at 03:16 PM • permalinkWow, what a pathetic turd. I hope he finds the help he desperately needs.
Not having been around here for 20 years, did Tim do something to piss off the BLF, or this some weinie “my construction worker mates can whip your friends” playground taunt? How immature, in either case.
Wish I could be there (damn ocean). I haven’t laughed at ass-whupped Neanderthals being cuffed by the cops in a long time.
No way a Union member would do work on a Friday night!
Posted by Quentin George on 2005 11 09 at 04:00 PM • permalinkFirst we non-Aussies had to ask ‘is it pronounced Guff or Ghow?’ and now we have to ask, ‘what’s the BLF?’ And does it stand (kneel?) for Ball Licking Fags? (And that’s something that Pommy private school cricketers do, isn’t it?)

Dont worry Tim - Drago’s offered to ‘keep the peace’, although he’s a little confused about this ‘BLF’ thing. He asked if it was ‘like KFC? cooked chickens?’.

Wonder if we can get a discount for 2 tickets, Dave? I’d like to fly out from Virginia, too. But you can still hold Wronwright’s jacket - I’m sure he’s an unselfish guy who would be willing to let me share in the shit-punching-out.
:-D

Posted by knuckleheadwatch on 2005 11 09 at 08:06 PM • permalinkT-Saw really exemplifies the left.
They effectively say “We can’t beat you with rationalism or logic so we’ll resort to physical force.”
I take it as a compliment when the left want to get punchy because they are admitting that they have no argument and know that we on the right are more intelligent than they are.
T-Saw, hope to see you there mate. I’ll look forward to hearing your well thought out reasons for Australia becoming a socialist paradise.
Anybody know if Wayne Sanderson is coming??Posted by Hank Reardon on 2005 11 09 at 08:19 PM • permalinkIn the unlikely event some BLF members showed the simplest answer would be to invite some workers comp insurance assessors with cameras along. Perhaps Tim could email T-SAW back advising there will indeed be an insurance assessors workshop on camera angles next door.

Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 11 09 at 08:53 PM • permalinkOk, we can all go over to Australia, together. We can even get some black leather jackets with the logo “NEOCON” emblazoned across the back. But I get the first smack down of T-SAW. I am from Ohio after all.
By the way RebeccaH, I voted yesterday the way you
ordered me as if I’m a neocon flunkie or somethingsuggested. I have no idea what Proposition #1 was, but I voted Yes anyway. Rebecca says vote for #1, I vote for #1.I did vote NO to Proposition #2, the repugnant attempt by MoveOn.org and People for the American Way to change Ohio to make it easier for the Democrats to take the state in 2008. I’m very happy to report that Proposition #2 was in fact defeated. YES!
The only downside to that is the fact that Hillary will now have to virtually live in Ohio in 2007 and 2008 in order to have a ghost of a chance to take the state. Since the Cincinnati area was responsible for giving Bush the Presidency, she’ll probably be spending her time around town. That will not be a good thing.
Posted by wronwright on 2005 11 09 at 08:53 PM • permalinkUh, in case I didn’t mention it previously, Cincinnati and the adjoining counties in southwest Ohio was responsible for giving George Bush the votes necessary for him to win the 2004 US Presidential election.
Ohio. We did that. Cincinnati specifically. Bush owes us. In case anyone here might possibly forget it, I will from time to time
bragmention that Ohio, the 14th state admitted to the Union (or 15th, maybe 16th, hell I don’t know), gave Bush the electoral votes that made him President.Not Texas. Not Kentucky. Not Tasmania. Not even Florida. Ohio. The Buckeye State.

I’d like to go, too, as long as we don’t go anywhere near Melbourne cuz, well, the burning bin thing. I’m not saying it was me, just, y’know, can’t really go there is all I’m saying.
And if someone would hold my coat, I’d appreciate it. I’m not going to brawl or anything like that, I’d just like someone to hold my coat. And buy me a fizzie.
I’m lucky. I just have to take me falsies out, put ‘em in me pocket and punch on :)
Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2005 11 09 at 09:36 PM • permalinkTwo-thirds of BLF (now CFMEU) members hated Whitlam as you’d expect from any self-respecting laborer toward a big-headed, windbag lawyer. Because of their militant unionism, these blokes are on collosal wages, with even the shit-kickers on $80,000 a year. Most of them detest politicians of all stripes, but a few CFMEU members of my acquaintance were huge Jeff Kennett fans, because he kept getting things built. The same blokes support Howard and Costello because they keep the economy rolling along, not bankrupting it on useless causes like Whitlam did.
Hey, Tim, have you considered slapping on a Kheffiyeh and charging the little terrorist with hate speech?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 11 09 at 11:03 PM • permalinkNo “BLF” attack will happen on Friday night.
Unioni bravery won’t allow anything to start unless the numbers are at least 5 to 1 in their favour, & the attack is a surprise one from behind.Posted by Steve at the pub on 2005 11 09 at 11:06 PM • permalinkI like the black leather jacket idea. Throw in some spiffy boots and I might even get a kick in at T-sop.
Yay, Ohio! Not to worry about Hillary hanging around. She’d want to bring Bill with her. Ohio fathers (half of whom come from Kentucky or West Virginia anyway) are mighty protective of their daughters, and well… it just wouldn’t be pretty.
Don’t know this guy T-SAW, but he does seem, on short notice, to be a bit of a c*nt. Would that be accurate?
Calling him a c**nt is both much too polite, and an insult to the noble c**nt.
Believe it or not, he gets even more despicable than in his email to Tim.
All the union wankers I know are face down and drooling by 7:00pm on Friday nights. I think in order to kick one’s ass you have to be vertical.
Posted by swassociates on 2005 11 10 at 12:00 AM • permalinkThe Bellevue Hotel:
It’s not young, it’s not funky and I have to say it smelt a bit funny. The Bellevue has captured the parental front-room feel perfectly. I kept expecting my gran to appear and offer me a small sweet sherry. It obviously appeals to the more mature drinker who doesn’t care about fashion or the latest DJ beats. Thongs, shorts and beer bellies appear to be handed out at the door and that was just the women. This is a real local bar for local people.

I really do think he has issues with women too.Keep taking the bromide dearie.

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 11 10 at 01:47 AM • permalinkrazor, no, the Browns stand no chance whatsoever. The Browns used to be a great organization. Then the owner moved the team to Baltimore in the heart of the night in exchange for a very large pay off by the city. It caused quite a scandal in Cleveland and the latter sued the owner for breach of contract. They settled by the Browns changing its name to the Baltimore Ravens and the NFL awarding an expansion team to Cleveland which became the new Browns. Unfortunately the new team has been playing since that time like a expansion team meaning it has basically lost most games.
If you’re looking for a team that can take on that damn team from hell, the Steelers, you would do well to choose the Cincinnati
BunglesBengals. It appears that 2005 is their year. Finally. About time. It’s only been 15 years since they’ve gone to the playoffs. Fools.Posted by wronwright on 2005 11 10 at 01:51 AM • permalinkunfortunately the Browns haven’t done much since Schottenheimer coached ‘em back in the 80’s and almost made the superbowl… u have a long wait for them to become competitive by the sounds of it Razor… bit like me with the Dolphons…
Does anyone remember that sack of shite Norm Gallagher who used to head up the BLF??? now there was a colossal w@nker who could hardly string two words together… this T-saw is just following Norm’s example of butchering the english language….
Free Norm . . . with every purchase over $10. I remeber those days fondly.
I became a Browns fan back in the late 80s when I saw their fans wearing dog masks in the doghouse and the team got voted as the worstdressed team in the NFL. I thought they were my sort of team. I also hoped that the combination of sporting socialism (the draft) and the cyclical nature of teams meant that I would be on a winner. Unfortunately, I now feel like a St Kilda fan probably does. I won’t change because I believe in loyalty and noone in Perth knows who the Browns are (except my best mate who follows the Steelers - bastard!).
by the way, i’m in Perth Razor, so that makes three of us who know about the Browns…. :o)
and enjoy the drinks fellas… i have to say i watched that @sshole Keating laying into Kerr the other day, getting laughs from the audience about having him put under house arrest… so brave talking about the long dead like that… I felt like punching him in the mouth even more than i usually do!!!
PubTAB is open…
T-SAW has mates: 1500/1
T-SAW shows at Bellevue Hotel on the evening of the 11th November, 2005: 3550/1
T-SAW’s mates are intimidating, uniony types: 3200/1
T-SAW and/or mates are able to use a roadmap to find venue if not aware of site: 234250/1
(Caveat emptor - the above bet should not be factored into the final equation, however - if T-SAW is surrounded by union heavies, of course they’ll know where the pub is)
T-SAW shows accompanied by mates at Bellevue Hotel on the evening of the 11th November, 2005: 13040/1
T-SAW and co manage to find the Blairite party in the crowd and then have the balls start something: 7890000/1
All of the above occurs and the BLF boys tear Blair’s Bruisers a new one: 4350000000/1
I think I’ve been a little generous in awarding the odds.
Posted by James Waterton on 2005 11 10 at 02:31 AM • permalinkRazor #54,
The persistent crumminess of the Browns has nothing to do with their dead-of-night move, sleazy as that was, but with the fact that the Denver Broncos stole Cleveland’s soul in the 1986 AFC Championship game, when John Elway beat them with “The Drive,” and in the 1987 AFC Championship, when the Browns beat themselves with “The Fumble.”
#76 Rigged! It’s all rigged. You’ve been way to generous to T-SAW on those odds James.

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 11 10 at 02:50 AM • permalink#73, Razor (Andrea, forgive me, this is way O/T, but Razor needs an emergency plan)
I understand your desire to remain loyal to a storied franchise with a long history and 15 Hall of Famers, and who were considered always tough and a lot of fun to watch, especially with those lunatic fans in the Dog Pound. I got the same problem, and I try to keep some perspective by picking another team to root for while “my” team, the SF 49ers go through their agonizing climb from the cellar (I don’t know if they’ll win another game this year).
I like the Patriots and the Colts, and have for some time, but if I were an AFL Midwestern/Central (now North) Division fan, I could do worse than to take a look at the Bengals, as wronwright suggests. They have been up and down several times. Right now they are having their best season in a long time.
It’s fun to watch a team like the “Bentgals” have a good year for once, and young QB Carson Palmer is having a career season so far (I am biased as he came from one of my old schools, the University of Southern California). I know it may seem like treason as they are in the Browns’ division (you might look at the Colts and the Broncos instead), but they’re good, and they have good personnel. Rudi Johnson is an excellent running back, Chad Johnson can catch the long ball & check out Odell Thurman, Middle Linebacker, for a real defensive playmaker. Your Browns will be back one of these eons, but until then you need to have a team that makes you feel good.
one of my uncles was a BLF brickie in Sydney during the time of Jack Mundey’s “green bans” on building works in
slumsheritage areas around The Rocks.The way he tells the story, at first, he and his brickie mates couldn’t understand what the hell Mundey was on about, stopping construction projects not for industrial reasons (like more pay for less work, the usual stuff), but for “heritage” and “conservation” reasons.
Then the young feminist and uni student sheilas (hey, this is my uncle, a brickie, talking) started turning up to the pubs the brickies drank at and all of a sudden, were interested in rooting brickies. My uncle wasn’t going to complain about that. Mundey was getting a lot of that action.
Posted by Oafish and Infantile on 2005 11 10 at 04:05 AM • permalinkFree? Booze? A rowdy night of merrymaking in faaaaabulous Paddington? I’ll be there! If anyone’s looking for me, I’m the bloke who’s 6’9” tall. I don’t want to play internet tough guy but I’ll advise any geriatric ex-BLF members to apply for private health cover tomorrow morning if they’re planning to show up tomorrow evening.
Well, she will on Friday.

You would think that T-SAW would have been ahead of us but then again he might have been born yesterday.

If I fly all the way from Ohio, at my own expense, do I get to punch out T-SAW? I think that’s only fair.
