Lanky's Hawaiian Trivia

stunet started the topic in Tuesday, 23 Apr 2024 at 08:35 am

Ol' mate Lanky Dean is back in Hawaii. He's been sending through random photos: weird waves, good surfers, guys mowing the lawn in their thongs - all sorts of stuff.

This photo came captioned:

"Who's board is this?"

My response?

"The green gun makes me think of Winton but he never had those sponsors.

"Brock also rode green boards (or had green on them, he was born on St Patrick's day) but he mostly rode for Gotcha.

"Tom Carroll rode for Quik and O'Neill but never at the same time. Doubt he would've ridden Willis bros as he was on Rawson's from a young age.

"Liam rode Willis bros but never those sponsors.

"Dunno, Marvin Foster? Mickey Nielson?"

Wrong. The red buzzer lit up and made the 'buh-bow' sound.

Pops Friday, 21 Mar 2025 at 12:49 pm

^I am so confused, but thanks for the welcome.
Still been keeping loose tabs on the forums, but too busy between work & the 2 microgroms to get drawn into the debates...

GuySmiley Friday, 21 Mar 2025 at 01:08 pm

I am so humbled at winning this prestigeous honour, first time I've won anything since the meat tray at the Port Noarlunga pub in the early 80's.
Keep em coming Lanky.

cheers @mattlock, just had a look, I'll give it a proper solid listen over the weekend.. half of adelaide is going to melbs at the end of may for the drones and don walker!

mattlock Friday, 21 Mar 2025 at 09:44 pm

That would be a good show.
Liddiard goes alright. The albumn he did with Spencer is great.
My beloved wife and I were once lucky enough to see Don and His Suave Fucks as part of the Cabaret Festival. They had made a little venue with curtains on the actual stage of the Festival Theatre.
We had a little table with a candle on it and a lovely lady bringing us drinks.
Don was about 4m away and he played my wife's favorite song of his. I thought my heart was going to explode for her.

basesix Friday, 21 Mar 2025 at 10:03 pm

awesome, that sounds like a sublime memory ..
saw tim rogers do a sorta autobiographical cabaret playlist / sorta tim-needs-a-project-NOW-to-keep-him-on-the-straight-and-narrow stageshow called 7 deadly sins at that festival..

mattlock Friday, 21 Mar 2025 at 10:18 pm

Cool basesix.
I think Kate Ceberano was the festival director, if my memory serves.

Lanky Dean Saturday, 22 Mar 2025 at 02:01 pm

Not going to mention the building in the reflection.

stunet Wednesday, 9 Apr 2025 at 02:12 pm

I interviewed him, or tried to, for an article in 2017 and something was clearly amiss then.

Hopefully he's getting the care he needs.
