[Announcement about Cache] - Calling all Aussies

#21

Hi All
We are all sensibly abed during the Germany event referred to, although I
note a few party animals took advantage of the free breakfast at Irish
Murphy's to watch the Soccerroos or is that Croatia A.
The real game was of course won by Collingwood at the weekend with the
tremendous tension caused by superb athletes actually scoring and yes every
point counts Mike. In fact the definition of extreme exultation is
Collingwood, 5 points down against Carlton, marking on the siren and kicking
a goal to win by 1 point. Total Bliss!

And score... and score... and so it goes on. Ho hum. I need a pie. One
goal or behind is just one of many. It's not all that important. One
goal or behind won't have the same huge effect on the outcome as a goal
scored in football (as in the game where players control the ball with
their foot). It makes me sick really. Aussies are so bloody ignorant
when it comes to football - they're almost as pig ignorant as americans
(who generally know or care very little about what goes on outside
their own borders - or TV screens). Present company excepted of course.
Have you been watching the world cup? Warming to the game just a tad?
There's a reason it's the most popular game on earth you know. It's the
beautiful game - and that's the truth.

Ah, but even the most beautiful player of your so-called beautiful game
simply does not /fly/ like an Aussie Rules player. From our point of
view, it's a ground-grubbing, two-dimensional game - and that's the
truth. <g

I just thought I'd share with our Aussie friends a headline I saw in
the local paper a few days ago.

"Warriors skin Bunnies"

I do this in a caring way.

What else would an enterprising NZ headline writer use when the
Bunnies....errrr... Rabbitohs errrr.... South Sydney get beaten?

Especially by a bunch of K-one-w-ones??
