Someone told him there might be a “Men Of Rugby Calendar” fundraiser next year and so Boony has set his sights on being Mr March.

Comment on Battered Prawns rumoured to be buying Big Prawn by Bungers

Bungers — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:39:55 +0000

No such a bad idea, for in 1995 IT WAS our clubhouse. Or so people thought. We had a picture of the Battered Prawns in front of the Big Prawn and with some digital editing on the facade of the building, the signwriting miraculously morphed into “BALLINA BATTERED PRAWNS GOLDEN OLDIES RUGBY CLUBHOUSE”. This picture graced our rugby songbook for the Christchurch World Festival. The only team that believed this was our clubhouse were the “Japs” from “Fukuoka” Rugby Club. Mind you we did have them on the drink after Slipper Lomax introduced them to “boat races” and superman outfits.

We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where was I… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn’t get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…
