My 9th grade Australian History class, trying to remember the dates of Cook's 3 voyages to Australia... Carlton to Carlton (1768 - 70) Carlton to North (72 - 75) Hawthorn to Carlton (76 - 79) Ok, a little bit of football tragic as well as serious Carlton tragic, but not bad 25 years later. |

You have the theme song as your mobile ringtone. I might have to change it - I'm getting too many howls of derisive laughter. |

..you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours doing data entry for a database outlining the history of your football Club... ...then go nuts everytime anyone changes a format that you've just updated through 1097 of all player biographies in that database... ...then go apesh!t when you can't get anyone at the Club to commit to taking over the website as a freebie gift from you and about 100 others... ...you decide to go cold turkey on Carlton forums for a fortnight or so to give you time to edit years 1905 - 1930 and make sure there aren't any spaces between the games links and the bottom of the page... and ...you think The Tyrant is a good bloke in real life. |
