Not dead, but still reeling from the weekend, afraid the ol' kilbot is a bit rusty when it comes to such periods of excess consumption. Now it's back to quiet and reliable Melbourne where the people drink their gin in glasses, not buckets.
Thanks everyone for coming out and saying g'day, it was great to see you all, flattering even. And thanks to ma and pa kilbot for the plane ticket (happy birthday mum!).
Hopefully next time i'll be over for a bit longer.

Yeah, you may be right, Benazir, but that sure doesn't stop me from feeling bitter that Pretty Boy Cousins got more Brownlow votes than State Captain Peter Bell. What a rort.
Let's just let this years figures speak for themselves:
Kicks
8. Peter Bell Fremantle 336
32. Ben Cousins West Coast 282
Marks
49. Peter Bell Fremantle 106
Ben doesn't rate …. not in top 100
Disposals
3. Peter Bell Fremantle 570
13. Ben Cousins West Coast 498
goals
66. Peter Bell Fremantle 20
99. Ben Cousins West Coast 17
Handballs
8. Peter Bell Fremantle 234
12. Ben Cousins West Coast 216
Tackles
23. Peter Bell Fremantle 70
Ben doesn't rate …. not in top 100
equal on frees
20. Ben Cousins West Coast 26
21. Peter Bell Fremantle 26
Not to mention
Bell = Captain of State Side and All Australian
Cousins = default vice captain and loser
Also, I would love to know how the Dockers can travel to Victoria, beat Melbourne by 30 points and only have one vote getter. The umpires really are fools sometimes.
But I would like to congratulations to Adam Goodes for being a worthy winner, and for taking his Mum along. What a champ.
And well done Mark Ricciuto, you are a good honest bloke.
As for you, Eddie, you make me want to retch. I wish I could like Nathan Buckley, but you have tainted him with your smarmy ways.
Go Brisbane.
A message from Mike over at Grouse!
Many of you have probably seen the Badgers animation that's doing the rounds at the moment. It's undeniably pretty neat, and deserves its fifteen minutes of fame before we all get so sick of it that we'll start killing badgers on sight…
Well, some kind soul has decided to help out a bit, and register the domain badgerbadgerbadger.com, and put up a copy there. Unfortunatley, this appears to be little more than an attempt to cash in on a fad and line their own pockets. There's a lovely little PayPal “Donate” badge on the page which does not go to the creator of the animation.
Please, don't pass that address around - and above all do not send any money via the link on that page. If you're feeling generous and want to thank someone for amusing you for a few minutes, go to the creators site and donate via the link there.
I'd be really grateful if anyone reading this who has a blog or anything could make a little note of the situation. Don't let this asshole get away with this. You're free to copy the above text verbatim if you like.
