A Glutton for Punishment

Now Playing: McFly- Please Please Please



Being a fan of the Indian cricket team is like being in an abusive relationship. When things go well – as the first India versus South Africa test did – you think, “Wow, maybe from now on it’ll always be like this!” But then things go downhill again – like the 2nd and 3rd test – and still you stick with the team, hoping against hope that things will look up again in time for the World Cup.

*sigh*

Anyway, it’s not like being a Leafs fan is any better.

*double sigh*

The Windies will prevail. YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.

lolz - the last time the windies won was in 1979, and the only time they've made it to the finals after that was in 1983 when INDIA beat them.

So in fact - ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US. :D

(though you do have home team advantage this time...)

I challenge you to a game of Russian poker right now.

That's right. YOU LOSE! :P

More like home team disadvantage. Traditionally, the host country fares rather poorly in the World Cup. So not only do all their base are the belong to us, all their base are the belong to everybody but them :P

(I just totally killed the joke, didn't I?)

P.S: Stephen, I challenge you to a game of Russian poker with my good buddy, Le Chiffre.
Who loses now? :P

Sharon said...

steve - errr, what Deepayan said. :P

deepayan - who do you think will win? Aus or SA?

Stephen said...

Deep: I took out Le Chiffre one time with a straight flush vs. his quad aces.

Maja said...

lol, I don't know the first thing about cricket, but I like the comic you posted!

Sharon: I go with Australia, because they're always a safe bet.

Stephen: You really don't want to have kids, do you? :P

Stephen said...

Deep: If Bond can survive that, I surely can. :P My poker skill is better than his, anyway. ;)

Dean epay said...

Stephen, that only means the punishment will be harsher for you :P
Oh well, you can always kill one of Le Chiffre's henchmen with your teeth...right?
