welcome to erroltips 2010
February 25th, 2010KEEP SCROLLING DOWN KIDS, THE REGULAR POSTS ARE WAITING FOR YOU BELOW!
Why yes, it IS that time again. After the overwhelming* success of ErrolTips 2009, we’re putting on our tipping pants (note: we may not actually be wearing pants) and starting that shit up again for another year.
We even had a proper meeting to figure out ways that we could improve on last year’s ErrolTips Experience (TM). Because, um … last year’s winner was southsydneyrussellcrowe – we like to think that’s the real Russell Crowe – and he still hasn’t collected his prize. It’s possible that’s because he’s in France. It’s also possible that he wasn’t especially keen on the idea of hitting the town with the Errol girls and drinking Smirnoff Blacks with a straw while we rock out at the Judgment Bar. CAN’T IMAGINE WHY.
We have to change the prize this year regardless because in the last six months the Judgy has turned into a pub police state. Drinking there is like a trip to old East Germany, except with fewer trench coats, uglier carpet, and LESS FUN. The bouncers don’t even wear Hawaiian shirts anymore! Instead they wear threatening vests that say RSA Marshall and patrol the floor looking for anyone with balance issues or sleepy eyes so they can promptly evict them.
This is clearly ridiculous, because who goes to the Courthouse unless they actually are blind drunk? No one’s stopping by the judgy at 7am on a Saturday morning for a coffee and a chat. If I was sober, I would totally stop and think, hey, maybe I have better and more productive things to do than drink a schooner at dawn while chatting to a man with waist length hair and a teardrop tattoo on his face.
ANYWAY. We have new revamped prizes that we hope you’ll enjoy. The winner of this years comp will take home their choice of:
1. a not-yet-ripe banana
2. an Oh Errol stubbie holder
3. the Mystery Box.
No, there is no cash prize, because there is no joining fee. Bloggers don’t have money and we didn’t want to price ourselves out of the competition. Also,we’re not materialistic and we do it for love and blah blah whatever. Now get your asses over to footy tips, sign up and join in:
There will be weekly updates talking up the winners and mocking the losers, plus, of course, the mystery box. Heh, box.
* May not have, in fact, been overwhelming.

At least the prizes are better this year.

…We should also start a Fantasy Competition!
Hi oherrol girls. I haven’t forgotten you and I did try to get in contact last time I was back down under but to no avail. I won’t be back before xmas so until then keep trying to get more famous and consequently increase the intrinsic value of my prize. Does it ever expire, ie. can we rock out when we are in our 60s?
PS I am not Russell Crowe.
SHOOSH. let me keep thinking you’re rusty pls.
Have your say!ive joined tipping, fully expecting 2 loose as i do every time i join a tipping comp. The bunnies & my parra boys screw me over every time & not in a good way. Lets just say if i pick bunnies 2 win they will loose & my boys break my heart over & over but i can never tip against them. May i suggest prize for last place cocktails at wests. Oh yeah using twitter name 4 tipping
