Cassowary Crossing

Bloody barnstorming return to Brainstorming, you lot. This one took me yonks to adjudicate, with so much quality gear, turning Yankee titles into their Ocker versions.

Not only did we get the Tolkien trilogy via CRD:

Mateship of the Clacker

Coupla Towers – Bewdiful

F*** Me, the King’s Back

But we also got Mary Poppins’ mouthful, courtesy of Mauve:

Beauty! Mallee Madge has biscuits Eskies, yabbies toasters. (Brilliant, and tenfold brilliant if original. Who needs brollies if we can reach these heights with raw wit?)

Plenty of small & sweet morsels too, like

Bingle [Crash] – marmaloid

Mates [Friends] – Mr X

Ooroo [Cheers] – moi

And a special mention to The Too Rights, Too Rights, Too Rights (X), which CRD re-translated into The Yeah No Yeahs, giving the contest a dash of Vicky Pollard too.

But time for trophies. And here we go:

Bronze Bilby to Mr X for Redblackboke [Spiderman]. You can almost see the McHappy merchandise.

Silver Snag to maramloid for Bog In, Hit the Piss, Bloke, Sheila [Eat, Drink, Man, Woman]. While technically a Taiwanese production, the Anglo title has copped a ripper Aussie mauling.

Golden Gumnut to CRD for Beverly Hills 2209. One subtle numerical shift and the migration is complete. Sleight-of-hand genius. Look forward to CSI Menai any season now.

Fan-bloody-tastic work, Stormers. Siya, and Have a Good’n.
