Honorary Life Membership It is a quaint island custom and our fave time of the year. Who needs a grand final, phffft! This is like giving out lollies. Every year we choose 20 distinguished or extinguished dignitaries who receive free life membership of the Whitsunday Warriors. Honorary Life Membership entails promoting the club both far and wide and under the sea too. As a special treat this year we are giving out a prize to whoever is the first person who can identify correctly our 20 life members. All you need to enter is to be able to read, since the prize is a book. Here are our inaugural 18 lifers, followed by two more that you will need for the lucky draw: . <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/37495-Base01.jpg" />
And the two supplementary numbers are: <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/80k22-Dig019.jpg" /> <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fp9ws-Dig020.jpg" />
And here is the prize! Our lucky contestant will receive this rare first edition book, posted free to anywhere within the Great Barrier Reef. You lucky devil, you. Remember! The only stipulation is that you must be able to read. To enter, all you have to do is post your guesses on the ORFFA chat. .<img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/x62b9-mawson-in-bed.jpg" />

I thought I did pretty well, considering I didn't study. Should've got the Cohen one though. You gotta admit though, he does look like Michael Corleone in that photo.

Despite being busy with the draft, I put the interior decorators on the boat back to hell, disinfected all the dunnies and The Hook Island Resort now has a bar! So come and drink with us! I put up all the money and Hornsy has put up all the charm, so she's a 50/50 partnership. We are also the exclusive sales outlet for Bear's pies sent freshly across from Lobster Bay Bakery. Don't eat too many or you won't be able to play footy. But drink as much as you like! . <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fk942-tiki-bar02.jpg" />
Thank god the Tiki Bar is open Thank god the Tiki torch still shines. Thank god the Tiki Bar is open Come on in and open up your mind. . <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/3o0w2-tiki-bar01.jpg" />
At the Tiki bar T. What about this new move urging players to fill a “brain bank”? H. Not such a bad idea really. Ruckmen are obviously exempted. T. The 8.5% interest is a bit stiff though. H. The rate on borrowing think brains will be even higher, although I hear staff at Champion Data will get a decent discount. T. And then we had that bloke drive a tractor right through the middle of the ORFFA draft yesterday. H. Don’t want to discuss it really. T. Well, I hate to say this to you H., but I think CR is horribly wrong and making a huge mistake. H. Yeah? T. I mean blaming his fiancée for not doing her homework. Geez, they aren’t even married yet and they are already into it. Why doesn’t he just postpone the whole deal until 2015 and Mum and Dad can go off and have a nice holiday all relaxed without having to worry about a thing? Except you of course. H. I think it’s the principle. T. Well that’s all well and good, but you don’t have to go out and buy new invitation cards. You just get a sticker printed with the new date. Crikey, who ever remembers what cards looked like? H. I still think it’s the principle. T. Speaking of principles, what about all this pressure on Primus? H. Boring really. People have got to understand the basic fact that a primus works under pressure. You have to pump it furiously before you light it. T. I thought it was your shout? H. In principle, it's yours.

Further conversations at the Tiki bar... X. Nice pyramid we've all built. T. Indeed. A Beauty. X. In less than two weeks, too. T. Fantastic. X. What was that problem near the end? T. One of the builders apparently was worried that his block was out of order as it wasn't tall enough. X. Was he upset? T. Very upset, called his mum apparently. X. Well, you can't fault a perfectionist, I suppose. Asset to the organisation really. X. How did it work out? T. Well by that stage everyone just wanted to go home and seeing how one block pretty much looks like another at that stage of a pyramid, one of the others guys agreed to swap. X. Who was that other bloke, the one that just came in and yelled obscenities? T. Strange that - He's a fantastic bloke ordinarily, but every so often he gets delusions of being the Head Teacher. Starts telling everyone that 'he's the Principal of the thing'. X. Still, nice pyramid. T. Another mint julep? X. Please.

Well, it seems we are going to have to open up shop again. A terrible typhoon was raging since last Monday and there was quite a draft, I can tell you, so we shut up shop until it all blew over. Now everything seems strangely calm and quiet. When the neighbours said somebody had cooked up some trial matches for this year, we had to wake up Juddy and get the squad doing some jumping over dead cuttlefish on the beach. Fortunately, the new Thunder Dome is now finished and will be ready to host the Birdsville Battlers at 5pm on Sunday 13 May. The draw committee in their wisdom did not advise us that it was our home game, but they implied as much. So it's been hurry up and be busy to have everything ready in time. . <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/07v90-thunderdome_by_eReSaW.jpg" /> Since we wrapped up the rights very early in the year, the match will be broadcast on both Channel 7 and Foxtel, as well as internationally on ESPN Sports.
OFFICIAL PROGRAM 0600 The Birdsville Battlers and staff drop anchor in Nara Inlet and are ferried ashore by whaler. 0700 Breakfast of lobster pies and daquiris on toast are served at the Tiki Bar. 0830 Tour of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and fishing. Please provide your own dynamite. 1200 Lunch, fish, of course. 1400 The Tiki Bar is open for business. 1500 Afternoon nap. 1600 Thai Oil Massage for the Coach and players + meet the press. 1700 Game time. 4 x 15 minute quarters. The Tiki Bar will be open for players during the 2 hour half time break. Team Whitsunday Warriors DEF: Grant Birchall, Jackson Trengove, Alex Silvagni, Alex Johnson. MID: Chris Judd, Rory Sloane, Michael Barlow, Travis Boak. RUC: Todd Banfield. FWD: Tom Hawkins, Steven Motlop, Aaron Cornelius, John Butcher. I/C: Morris, McKenzie.
