Mitchy, put your shirt on!

I only discovered this album on Zimbio the other day. It took me a while because I have bookmarked My Lord and, for some reason, this album doesn't appear on his list of albums. Clearly, Zimbio have had enough of me nicking their photos as well. Anyway, if you haven't seen it, have a flick through:

Australian Cricket Team Portrait Session

They're all pretty much the same - posing with the Ashes urn and the flag, posing with a ball or a bat, looking mean in front of my Mum's kitchen blinds ... until you get to Mitchell Johnson. He has his shirt off.

Why?

Was the photographer interested or can he just not keep his gear on when a camera is nearby? If it's the latter, this is going to be one interesting Ashes series.

The photographer was a bloke too. Can you imagine the conversation that led to this? How do you think it went Sid?

He looks horrendous in those photographs. Bet it was only to show off his tatoos.

But where is Punter? I so wanted to see a photo of Ricky with the urn in his hands and looking above as if he were begging God to win the Ashes.

Stani Army said...

Errm errm Sunny, you shouldn't be looking! :)

Thanks for sharing the link, but unfortunately it seems to be offline... Does anybody have a mirror or another source? Please reply to my post if you do!

I would appreciate if a staff member here at thoughtsfromthedustbin.blogspot.com could post it.

Thanks,
Thomas

I didn't even notice that Punter isn't there! What about Clarke? Is he there - I can't remember.

It just looks to me like Mitchy saw the camera and ripped his shirt off. Or maybe the photographer was that way inclined and gave him drugs and coerced him to get his gear off.

It could have been worse. He might have had the Southern Cross tattooed across himself or the Boxing Kangaroo.

Chavity boganality. I love the Aussie cricketers.

About three brain cells shared around and Kat is usually hoarding 2 of them.

sunny said...

Too late Stani, I already did. But don't worry, I only gave him the disgusting kind of look.
And no, Clarke isn't there either I think.

Sidthegnomenator said...

Why is Sunny now allowed to look?

I think you're being Sunnyist, Stani.

Lou, I am surprised Mitch hasn't got something stupid tattooed to him. He's not the brightest light on the tree.

Stani Army said...

...sure. There's only one way to make up for this. Sid needs to post similar pics of the Aussie ladies :)

Sidthegnomenator said...

I wrote that all wrong - I meant "why is Sunny NOT allowed to look?". It's my blog and I say she can look if wants to, so there Stani!

Stani Army said...

Just making sure she's preserving her innocence Sid :P

Bet she listens to me rather than you (even if she doesn't admit it)

:)

sunny said...

Hey, hey, I'm big enough to look after myself Stani. And I listen to you? Really? Let me laugh.
HAHAHAHAAHAAA

Stani's got this habit of playing the dicator, Sid. And what does being Sunnyist mean?

Stani Army said...

Dictator? More like caring brother :( ['aah' from audience]

See what you've done Sid, you turned her against me. [sad music]

Sidthegnomenator said...

Stani, I've got news for you - nobody listens to you.

Sunny, being sunnyist just means not letting you do things just because you are Sunny. Like Stani does.

Of course, we don't actually listen to him so we wouldn't know that he was not letting you do things, so we couldn't call him sunnyist ... so maybe "sunnyist" doesn't exist except in an alternate reality where we all praise Stani and listen to everything he says ...

OK, so I'm insane ... see what a Shane Watson century does to one's state of mind?

Stani Army said...

Really? You'll miss me when I'm gone. Maybe that is what is needed.

Nightwatchgirl always cares about what I say :P

Sidthegnomenator said...

Of course I'll miss you ... although, I will just come to your blog and give you gried there instead.

Cheeky minx, playing on my competitive side ...

Stani Army said...

Oh, so you're competing over me then :)...it's ok, I'm worth it :)

I'm known worldwide for my cheekiness :)
