Well, we're coming up to the end of the Celebrity Cranker Week - Celebrity Stand -ins for the inimitable Jako. (By the way, how are you coping with those ankle-biters, old cobber?)
Heading the best loved Crankers this week is ........... Drum Roll Please MAESTRO ........................................................................................................................................................................................
BIGGDADDY. (Applause and Cheers).
He started off with one of his incomparable Graphics:

Then followed it up with a tall tale about bulls appendages and bodily fluids ............... and a Big Dad's failure. An epic tale belonging to a long line of valiant Ozzie failures ... Ozzies gallant in defeat ... stretching back all the way to Gallipoli.
For that effort - the BD got 69 TUs.
Next in the Celebrity Cranker Stakes was Sharks who got 53 TUs ......... ........................................................................................... Theme from Jaws please MAESTRO:
What caught my eye in Sharks post was his original research for a new and valuable Sentiment Index based on the number of post on the XJO correlated to market bottoms.
Here's his graphic portrayal of Fear and Loathing on the XJO:

Speaking of Fear and Loathing ....... another post that took my eye ..... today ...... was the offering from Timmmmmbo. He showed a clip from the Hunter Thompson based cult film "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" - with an addled writer hunting and pecking on a typewriter - and compared that to our XJO Legend - Maxi. All in good fun I hope.
Maxi deserves his own movie. He is one of the great Ozzie characters.
Meanwhile - back to the Celebrity Crankers. RB and MemeFX. They were neck and neck for third place (or should that be the "wooden spoon").
RB pipped the Meme 28/27. Close enough for a tie?
Anyway - kudos to all the posters who keep this forum alive and kicking - in bull times and bad.
Meanwhile - Jako - have you survived? Ready to Crank up Weekend Charting and Chat?
Looking forward to seeing you back.
RB.
