“Slamming” Sam Kekovich is a former AFL player turned media personality. He’s a 58-year-old bulldozer currently best known for spruiking lamb in an aggressively deadpan fashion each Australia Day.
He’s fantastic. Once a year I get to fantasise about bumping into Sam – repeatedly as he hurls abuse at me – at a barbeque in some remote location. In between manly, erudite chats mind you.
Thanks to Sam, I was fully engorged with national pride over the Australia Day weekend, so much so I neglected to post.
Saturday we just sweltered but on Sunday Mick and I got the bus to Nielsen Park, where we found a spot on the sand, then went for a swim among the small children with violently coloured inflatable paraphernalia, fleshy couples, family groups and the occasional beefy Mediterranean dad.
It was overcast, but we lasted a couple of hours, long enough to blow $15 for average fish and chips and get a little sunburnt. Mission Vaucluse accomplished.
I didn’t take photos (that whole small children within camera range = pervert thing freaks me out – you should see the size of some of these dads [awesome, just quietly]).
