nic. i really like the level line. I didn't understand the blob line
Now, in the spiret of attention seeking, heres my commentaters sketch. Its AFL, so hope it makes inter-oceanic sense.
(two meat-head football commentators)
Gary: Well, there you have it, Graysdale Muskrats are the victors, with ‘DDXE’ comforted to the depressing ‘WRB’ held by the Datham Deskjets, although it was a colossal effort by Datham.
Lug: I’m telling ya, you can’t pick ‘em, if we were weathermen we’d be out of a job because who would think a 2nd to bottom of the leaguers could bite so ferociously into last years champs.
Gary: And with such a margin, I mean the Muskrats we’re no less on form then ever, and obviously being the team they are they held on but...
Lug: But Datham, I mean wow, they must have got some new fans over that one.
Gary: There’s no skidding up and getting around it, that was a right ripper game of football, an old-fashioned knees to the wind.
Lug: Your not wrong Gary, you’re not wrong by half.
Gary: Not wrong by full I would stutter to say. Looking back, it’s the kinda game one reminisces about. Big green oval, I do like a green oval, not like these purple oblongs they tried pushing back in 93 I think it was...
Lug: Good year
Gary: Not for the ovals.
Lug: That’s true, or Matthew Biddy
Both: Devil rest his soul
Gary: But a cracker game.
Lug: Oh yeah, proper pass about.
Gary: Especially Matthew Timetriarcus, some excellent possessions in the 2nd quarter, and it looks like Matthew McDilling is recovering from that rib-replacement nicely.
Lug: Of course no small spice to Matt Saul for filling in so comfortably during his McDillings absence, handy player him, and of course the other Saul brother, Matthew, only his 2nd season and marking like a pro, did you see how he beat Mathew Kirby to the ball?
Gary: I sure did, although I swear it was Mathew Madison-Jane.
Lug: It’s the haircut.
Gary: Oh right
Lug: And the botox, but we haven’t talked about the man of the match yet, I believe a sure fire horse for the Gurgleham Ribbon.
Gary: Oh here we go, your team loyalties coming out.
Lug: No really, Mathew Wilcox, for a start he’s captain, always gives his best. I mean, the boys got a pair of the finest legs in the game.
Gary: Honestly Lug, you love the kid.
Lug: Well, love is not a word I’d be too ready to banter about in a such a macho sport, but he’s got some good soft hands, an excellent tackle and supple lips so, yes, we’re very happy together.
Gary: And the ceremony’s this March?
Lug: 17th (flashes ring) Can’t wait.

I got a postcard from The Outback saying “wish you were here”. I sent back “I don’t”.
