Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 18 Gumbies FFC v Sin City Swamprats at The House of Gumby

Plain rice and home brand parmesan is the bomb. Yes, I am still 10 years old.

When I met my wife I'd she cooked, this would be the sort of meal she'd have.
Shed cook 2 minute noodles and add garlic and think that was a nice meal.
She ate out most nights.
I owned a house with a few mates at the time which she eventually moved into.
She was shocked at quality of dinner we'd have.
We're not talking degustation, we're talking pasta bakes, stir Fry's, chicken and rice with some sort of jar sauce. Pretty sure that is why she married me.

Good question.
Could always start with the fallback option- Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars' Billionaire.

If you could monetize your charm and charisma you'd be a billionaire

philreich I didn't do a marathon in 2022, nor 2023, or 2024.

THIS, is a running joke.

It's funny you should bring up marathons, have I ever mentioned I've ran many.
In fact I'm running the Berlin marathon next year.

I'd be more than happy to do the Berlin marathon.......if organisers were to allow me to do it in my car .

Thought that was heading in a slightly different direction for a minute when I saw "pants"

I know it's uncharacteristic for a Swamprat.

A battalion of soldiers is deep inside a South African jungle. Suddenly they come to a crocodile-infested river, and the officer in charge tells his men that he needs a volunteer to take a rope across the river, and tie it to an overhead branch - which would enable the rest of the men to make their way across safely. As you can imagine, there's various howls of protest, such as, "I'm too young to die", and, "I have a wife and kids at home - they need me."

Finally a young corporal says, "OK I'll do it." He strips down to his bare essentials, takes the rope, and starts swimming across the river. To the astonishment of his onlookers, the crocodiles aren't coming anywhere near him. He gets to the other side and climbs the nearest tree. He attaches the rope securely, and within minutes the rest of the men are safe on the other side of the river. The corporal is an instant hero: plenty of slaps on the back, and even a call for him to receive a bravery award. But the officer in charge is skeptical, "You got body odour, soldier?"

The young corporal smiles and says, "No sir - it's like this: I've got 'GUMBIES FFC FOR SFA PREMIERS S38' tattooed on my bum, and not even a crocodile would swallow that."
