Buzz's Erection Party

Next time you are invited to a party and Mike Sabey offers you a lift – don't take it! Sabes doesn't own a car, it's a boat, without a roof, without a motor, without anyone who knows how to sail it. Sallie, and Grandpa and Leonie were put on Mt Martha watch, this photo shows them looking out for Buzz's flagpole so Mike knew when they had “hit” Mt Martha. Leonie, was clearly having the time of her life

The host's pose in front of their new erection. Wendy was kind enough to bring a rock over for Buzz to stand on. Buzz was dressed by the new fashion house “Bling for Geriatrics.”

The guests were a little baffled by the living room décor, but Buzz was insisting he wanted his party to be informal. Grandpa kept himself busy all night “looking for that something special.”

Hobes was so impressed with the house, he wanted to move in. Susie only had eye's for the sailors who kept handing her drinks and even a bunch of flowers

Susie then rushed in and told all the  girls to drink up and give those nice sailors a reason to come and visit. “Don't be nervous, I'll hold your hand…….”

Bernie and Bill had a 3 hour conference on the wind conditions needed for Buzz's new flagpole, apparently it is installed in the wrong spot

Hobe's unlike the other boy's went straight for the girls and was doing okay, he showed early form having picked up a couple of decent strays…….

... when wouldn't you know it, the competitive streak in Cunningham comes out and he picks up three, including a couple of wind blown sailorettes.

Crickey, no wonder their wives are more interested in the sailors, although Mike was keen for everyone to admire his new nose hair trim

Wendy was overcome by hay fever until she worked out it was the flowers

Foster had everyone in fits over his joke about what happened to the owner who flew an upside down abo flag next to a pink elephant and the Australian flag. It didn't end well!

Mike tried to comfort Wendy when the insulted local abo community started throwing stones at the house, Buzz was quick to lock the front gates

Grandpa, having finished searching the cupboards, went for quality not quantity, although this photo shows he was clearly worried about batting out of his league

Sabes, dressed as Where's Wally, assured the Gnome and Buzz that flying an upside down abo flag on top of a pink elephant and next to the Australian flag  wasn't sending a message that the Australian Aboriginal population was doomed and just a bunch of piss pots.

Bill Melbourne had Susie Hoban and Wendy Collie riveted about his calculus on the amount of wind it takes to flutter a flag

Not finished with upsetting the local aboriginals the Gnome asked Muzza to do his Sachmo impersonation while he sang “What a wonderful world,” Gordo thought it was the national anthem so he stood to attention.

When the party got in full swing, it was decided to declare war on the whole world. This collection of flags is saying: “When it comes to riding bikes, the Marauders are on top of France, Korea, the Abo's, Norwegians, Gays and you're all a bunch of fat elephants compared to us”. At the time it made perfect sense.

Buzz was very excited about the new Parlee being hoisted. Here Cunningham and Lawrence are asking if Fitzroy's and Lawrencia can put bikes up there as well.

The guests knew it was time to go home when Buzz, Wendy and the catering team entertained with a rousing rendition of “I do like to be beside the seaside.”
