Saddle up, mofos! I'm all about the IPL - as of Saturday.

On Saturday, a woman of Indian descent came into my work. She was not being served by me and was actually at the far end of the ounter to me. I was talking to a colleagues who has been trying to get me enthused about the IPL. I had just made the decision, based on my adoration of Adam Gilchrist, to support Deccan Chargers - although probably only half-heartedly, to be fair.

"It's all about Gilchrist" I said to colleague.

This woman - who B-T-W was eavesdropping - scoffed. She bloody scoffed!

"Cricket is so not all about Gilchrist" she said.

Naturally, my back went right up.

"Nah" I said, "it's about Ponting, Clarke, Johnson, Lee, Hussey, White (Bloody Vic) and Siddle ... but the IPL will be all about Gilchrist."

She mumbled something about me being racist and huffed off.

So that's done it for me now - from now on, I'm all about the Deccan Chargers and the IPL; I'm getting the hat, the t-shirt goddamit and I hope she comes in the library so I can WHOOP loudly every time Gilly so much as farts. I'm gonna make a Gilly face mask and do cartwheel across the freakin' library floor every time he gets a run! I might even do it topless!

She's got under my skin and I'm going to have some fun with it.

So, let's start the insanity ...

Get a big picture of his face,put it on a stick and wave it at her from around book aisles and at the counter while you are hiding behind said counter or aisle.

Gilly on a stick
should do the trick.

WHAT?? Who is not unwise ... are you siding with the bimbo who mocked Gilly?? No no no no no no no Wes; such things are not done.

There will be lions ...

Well if you say cricket is about Gilchrist then you must say cricket is about Boucher.
Apart from that cricket is about Bond. B)

This must be interesting a battle of two proud nations actually two people too proud of their teams :P

@reverseswing - I think you're right. It's a good thing it didn't happen in a pub with beer ... there would probably have been blood.

@Wes - what's wrong with Boucher? I like Boucher, although I still think he looks like Robin Williams. I'm still waiting for Crapinfo to do that one on Page 2.

@Lou - don't you worry, there will be Gilly faces peering out of every nook in the library ... that woman will be sorry she ever took the mick out of my Ads!

Thats awesome, haha.

In a few years though, hopefully the world will have been able to agree, Cricket will be all about Mitchell Marsh =D

Sidthegnomenator said...

There will be no arguing about it - cricket WILL be all about Mitchell Marsh in about a decade.

You and I can just kill everyone who disagrees.

I'm pretty suspicious of people who shout racism at everything they don't agree with. Sure, there is racism around but it's probably projection in most cases. Anyway, Italian men like myself have bigger willies than anybody else.
