THERE’LL be lots of ribbing up Boort way over the next few days ... the town’s No 1 Cat fan is sure to be the subject of jibes and barbs ahead of the AFL Grand Fnal. You see, Big Al was down at the G last Friday night to watch his pussy cats book a spot in the big day of the year. And back home, some of his mates were optimistic early in the evening that they would be able to send text messages of glee when Collingwood was looking the goods. Those messages from Lanyon and Co and are currently in the drafts folder in anticipation of hitting send about 5pm Saturday.
FAMOUS local cohort has been reported as delving into the photo albums of a mate and unearthed a classic 80s picture of a tanned and bronzed young bloke. According to text messages received by OTF, said photo subject claimed he wanted to be known as Casanova. Further banter between mates settled on Ken, from Barbie fame. In case you don’t know, Ken’s full name is Kenneth Sean Carson Jr. Ken is from Willows, Wisconsin, and has a fashionable line of clothing and accessories (although he made his debut wearing only a swimsuit).
AND did you know Barbie - Barbara Millicent Roberts - is from the same town. She was launched in 1959 and Ken arrived on the scene two years later.
NOW back to the photo subject, he was pretty chuffed to be compared to super full model Ken. Even stopped outside Bridgewater Post Office last week to show photo to friends as they rattled the brains to determine the year. One big clue came in the clothing. Must have been mid or late 80s, the brown suit had been replaced by blue.
DID you know: In positive settings, brown suggests warmth, safety, and reliability. It’s dependable and honest. But in other contexts, it can feel dull or too serious if not balanced with light or texture.
