This brazen and chilling attempt by Brendon Grylls to introduce tractor pulls by stealth to the metrocentric area cannot stand. A truck pull is just the thin end of the wedge. Don’t forget Brendon that we metrocentrics are the ones that put our hands in our pockets to buy all the crap that you bumkins grow. If you want to criticise metrocentrics, don’t speak with your wallet full. And don’t start pushing your perverted country “entertainments” on us. Tractor and truck pulls, along with the satanic B&S’s should stay in Corrigin where they belong. I urge all city types to get out there and in an effete way NOT pull that rope. Perhaps the occasional “meh” could also be voiced. Can this really be the solution to the ooshta deficit in the city?
now that’s gonna pull us right out of dullsville.
m’eh…
I note it’s going to take three days to pull the truck.
The city will be positively oozing ooshta.
a three day pull?
Well, three IS a w…
Anorgasmia of the highest order. No wonder WA’s sexual satisfaction rates are appalling.
A rope? With *these* hands? Are you kidding?
Buddy of mine swears the Jizz in my Pants guy is Brendon Grylls.

I can’t see it myself.
There is a truck pull in one of the Hard Yakka TV ads from 20 or so years go. Instead of having both hands on the rope, one chuckle head decides to pull the SHIRT of the fella in front of him.
Anyone else remember / get a laugh out of that?
You mean this ad ?? :-)
Indeed I do. Cheers, I was just about to Google for it.
I also noted with glee at the time that the young buffed body double at 0:04 turns into a somewhat weathered 45 year old at 0:21.
it was all smoke and mirrors, not one real tug on the truck at all.
Filmed at Mt Whaleback, Newman, early 80’s?.
Yeah, definitely “not one real tug.” You can spot the special effects in some parts.
My fave Hard Yakka ad was with the two chaps on the hand powered outback railway maintenance vehicle thingy. Late 70s / early 80s?
You can see that first one here, BR. In fact, you can see them all.
Huge. Thanks.
Perhaps this was the kind of “Entertainment” Dr Karl had in mind.

Then again he could just get The Filth to perform in Northbridge – but maybe that will INCREASE, but there is rthe added benefit of four commissioned rozzers being able to do their own security :-)
If you’re trying to prompt another fabulous rant from Klag O’Calamminity, more power to you Frank. I wish I knew who Klag was.
I assumed it was Bill.
I’m not sure they’ve thought this one through.
It looks to me like the participants (the ‘pullers’ if you will) would end up walking very slowly across Riverside Drive. Like lemmings, our rustic friends would end up being skittled, one by one, by metrocentric Audis and Peugeots rushing cityward from the western suburbs.
On second thoughts, maybe they have thought it through. Carry on.
What about suck starting trucks? I’m sure plenty of Metroc’s could do that. That would have made a worthier challenge.
Is Brendan Gryllth nickname ‘tugger’?
on closer inspection of the banner, the pullers are actually trying to push the rope back into the front grill of the truck. That will work.
I notice the banner suggests the event is sponsored by Youth Focus, which I understand is an organisation aimed at preventing youth suicide.
With the country, which is flushed with tractor and truck pulling events, having significantly higher rates of youth suicide than the city, which has long realised you can actually drive the horseless carts where you need them to go, perhaps the cure is actually the cause.
Is the tractor pull a covert attempt to reduce the discrepancy between city and country youth suicide rates by increasing the incidence of youth suicide in the city?
Is Brendon Grylls trying to cull our youth so he can stay sweet with our pediaphobic Premier?
RD082 a reference to RaymonD O’Conner and his failed government of 1982 and the rounding up and driving into the river of all those kids born since he was kicked out of office to appease the ghost of Charles Court?
well, if they pulled the trucks like this guy it could be more “ooshtified” with out a doubt!
A line of metrocentrics either suck starting trucks or sucking the chrome off truck towballs – now that would be one in the eye for Grylls.
I seem to have come across this post by accident.
i would imagine you come across a lot of things onnie!
I wonder which is more active: your imagination or my favoured hand?
Re: Your impending visit to our fair state and its related challenge – I am more than happy to be your first recorded lap rocket.
I don’t wish to discuss which is the favoured hand Big O but I was wondering if you are in fact David Byrne?
