State of Origin! Last night! NSW THRASHED QLD 32-4!
By gee, famous QLDer BEABLE VAN POLASM would have been spinning in his
grave, if he was dead. Is he? I wouldn't know. Conversely, famous New
South Welshman MASO would have been spinning in his grave too, but in
a happy sort of way, if he was dead. Which he probably isn't.
As for the rest of the Austrians I think they all live in Melbourne or
the ACT so they probably wouldn't care over much.
Highlights:
-----------
1. Bill Harrigan's refereeing. What an ornament to the game. I haven't
seen anyone referee so well, except maybe Mogsheen Jadwat at times.
Bill is on top of his game at the moment and his hair looks terrific
as well.
2 Andrew Johns. NSW captain Andrew Johns had the ball on a string last
night, and even when this was discovered and the string severed with a
pair of hastily borrowed nail scissors he still had marvellous
control. A fine game from the man they used to call "The Johns
Kiddie".
3. NSW's socks. The NSW team socks (light and dark blue stripes) had
white feet that protruded a significant way above the boot
(http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/05/23/1022038440593.html). This
gave the impression that some players were wearing spats, which was a
wonderful effect. Next game I hope that some of the players will
compliment this by wearing a top hat and carrying a big bag with a $
on it.
Lowlights:
----------
1. Queensland. Enough said, really. MUST DO BETTER NEXT TIME.
2. Andrew John's hair. Well, they don't call him "The Unmade Bed" for
nothing, assuming that I'm right in saying it's Johns they call "The
Unmade Bed", and if they don't they should because he looks like an
unmade bed. One word for you young man - BRYLCREAM. It goes well with
spats, too.
3. Alfie Langer. After last year's SOO triumphant return, this match
was a huge letdown for Langer freaks. Langer suffered a busted arse
during the match and may miss the next game as at his age (67 or
something) busted arses take a long time to heal.
Anyway, busted arses or not, QLD is bound to lift for Game II which
(luckily for them) is being played in Queensland so no doubt the home
crowd will have an effect. Bye!

extent ... gorn. I tell ya, I reckon it's them ROOS that are to blame.

Last night I watched a guy
catching box jellyfish (the
most DEADLY animal on the
planet) with his BARE HANDS.
Is Austria really THAT BORING?
