Every good knock has to come to an end. We will fight on to bring Boon back through reverse boonjaneering, but in the mean time here are some submitted photos from Tom and Matt to remind us of the good times....
If you have something you'd like to add to the Boon shrine, send them in. I'll put them up when I can (and while I've got space!). And if you are feeling particularly sentimental, why not follow along with Trappers and build an Appreciation Cabinet so Talking Boony can spend the rest of his days in a prized position in the pool room.
Talking Boony - A Homage
From Tom on Australia Day:
Alas, farewell sweet Boon…we had many fond moments together…

Well maybe next season VB can bring out a special 52 can carton they can call “the boon” a homage to this 5’2″ piss tank with a talking boonie that counts down the amount of stubbies to go to even near the record of a thirsty Tasmanian. R-I-P BOONIE 2006
has every one stopped posting as a wake to this 4″ pisstank,coz im not gonna give up on him ,he commands our respect (and tinkering)
for he may have drunk his last can and bowled his last over
it dont mean he has his throat cut to tell us how much he enjoyed our mateship,LONG LIVE KING BOONY!
The Boony I used for these photos (above as Tom) is now forsale – http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8779455403
I can supply the original 8MP (3-4MB) photos if you want them.
Boony spoke again!
At about 15:23 Pacific Summer Time (Vancouver) on Monday May 08, Boony woke up and rattled off the following in a five or six-minute burst:
“Where’s my beer?”
“How’s that beer going?”
“How’s that beer going?”, then almost immediately
“You’re joking, aren’t ya?”
Then “How’s that beer going?” 7 times, at about 4-5 second intervals… then a pause…
Then “I could bowl better than that.”
“Is it time for a beer yet?”
“Is it time for a beer yet?”
“Is it time for a beer yet?”
“I could bowl better than that”
“Is it time for a beer yet?”
“Is it time for a beer yet?”
“Is it time for a beer yet?”
He took a few minutes off here, marshalling his strength to ask:
“When’s the drinks break?”
“Show us a replay of that”
“When’s the drinks break?” 7 times at short intervals, then
“Quack, quack, quack”
“When’s the drinks break?”
“When’s the drinks break?”
“Show us a replay of that”
“When’s the drinks break?”
“When’s the drinks break?” (pause)
“When’s the drinks break?”
“When’s the drinks break?” (pause)
“When’s the drinks break?”
“When’s the drinks break?” (pause)
…and he’s still going, as of 15:38.
Maybe the battery’s running down, or his clock has reset/looped and he’s just warming up for another ‘summer’!
Beauty, I haven’t dragged his stumpy little arse 15,000kms to be a dumb paperweight after all!
gotta get the the TIM-BOON, the one i got from him is ACE
do your self and your sleep cycle a favour ,because he has put a sh1t load of R&D into this and deserves MAJOR support
My brilliant English hubby located a Boonie for me (we live in the UK). And bless him, he just wont shut up.
He seems to favour the middle of the night for his outbursts (I guess he’s still on Aussie time?), and has woken us up a few times with requets for beer.
We can’t figure out what sets him off, it does seem to be quite random, though he had a good burst a couple of days ago while I was blending cocktails. Maybe he could just smell the booze…
Regardless, he is a much loved addition to the household.
MY BOONY IS FUCKED……. HELP ME
Baz,
What’s wrong with the little guy?
How much are the large talking boonie dolls worth? (they are about 30cm tall). Apparently only 10 were made
