Today, alas, he wasn’t so crazy, but unless he has had a lobotomy when he feels safe in this side his natural nutbag self will coming flowing back and instead of praying when he gets a wicket he will take off his top, slap him self with chickens and ride a horse straight out of the ground.
Telephone call recorded in Ahmedabad, 9 May 2008 Participants are known only as H and S.
H: Hi babes, how’s it going? Is your face better? I’m so sorry again for the slap. S: It’s going fine. And I forgive you for the slap. I’m over the slap and want to move on. Making up after we fought was the sweetest pleasure I’ve ever known. H: Same for me too.
S: People still don’t really believe we’ve made up though. Even when we said that we wanted to share a room, they just laughed. Is it time to leak our special video? H: No, no, no, that’s the nuclear option and must be kept only for the most exceptional circumstances. S: But what else do we have left? H: What about a special ceremony publicly declaring our feelings each other? S: Good idea H. We’d better start planning it.
H: We’d walk in together to “My Heart Will Go On”. S: Oh. I was hoping for Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. H: It’s “My Heart Will Go On” or I’m not doing it.
S: OK, ok, calm down. H: I’m perfectly calm. S: Oh let’s not fight again baby.
H: Then I thought we’d have a reading. Andrew Symonds could read an exerpt from “The Prophet”. S: Oh, yes, I like that. H: Then I want to sing “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera, to you. S: And I’ll sing “You’re Still The One” by Shania Twain, to you. H: Then another reading: Ricky Ponting, sonnet 120 – “That you were once unkind befriends me now”.
S: Then a song for all present to sing together. H: “Hit me baby one more time”? S: That’s not funny. H: Sorry. What about “Hit me with your rhythm stick?” S: Again, not funny. H: What about Tom Lehrer’s “Masochism Tango”? S: *cries* H: FINE. What do you want then? Roy Orbison “Crying”? S: “Drama” by Erasure.
H: (sigh). Fine. Then, we could convey how we feel for each other through the medium of interpretive dance.
S: We also need to decide on what we wear. H: I was thinking powder blue Hedi Slimane suits. S: Excellent call.
H: Well, I think we’ve pretty much got this wrapped so hang up now S. S: No you hang up. H: No you hang up. S: Let’s both hang up at the same time. H: ok.
(5 seconds pass)
H: You’re still there aren’t you? S: Yes. but so are you H: Right now we really are going (hangs up). S: Are you still there? Hello? *cries*.
In this day and age men crying isn’t held as wimpy as it once was.
People now even see men crying as way more acceptable than women crying.
The world has changed.
But two indian men, one feminine enough to slap another man, another feminine enough to cry about it, are testing the worlds new found acceptance of male bawling.
Sreesanth cried because a man slapped him.
Is there any coming back from that.
Was only days ago I talked about how cool he was via blog and podcast.
The whole angry man fast bowler thing was back, he was abusing people and being a giant @ss clown, just how I like it.
Now he is crying after Bhaji, of all people, slapped him.
This is how I would have expected this story to go.
Harbhajan Singh is in critical condition in Mumbain Indian hospital today, after an incident with his Indian team mate and IPL sparring partner Sreesanth. Bhaji allegedly slapped Sreesanth, before Sreesanth slammed his head into a wall an unknown amount of times leaving Bhaji severely injured. No charges have been laid, but Sreesanth is helping police with their enquries.
I would not have expected this.
Harbhajan slaps Sreesanth, who then cries in the corner naked and wet, waiting for his mother to bring over his favourite blanky.
Sreesanth is apparently a big fan of NZ folk music.
So this is in his honour.
I’m not crying It’s just been raining on my face And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks Please. Pleasee, don’t tell my mates I’m not crying No, I’m not crying And if I am crying It’s not because of you It’s because I’m thinking about a friend of mine who you don’t know who is dying That’s right, dying These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me I’ve just been cutting onions I’m making a lasagna For one Oh, I’m not crying No There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland I’m not upset because you left me this way My eyes are just a little sweaty today They’ve been looking around They’re like searching for you They’ve been looking for you Even though I told them not to These aren’t tears of sadness They’re tears of joy I’m just laughing Ha ha ha-ha ha I’m sitting at this table called love Staring down at the irony of life How come we’ve reached this fork in the road And yet it cuts like a knife’ I’m not crying I’m not crying I’m not cry-y-y-y- -y-y-y-y-ing
Let’s start with slapping, because I am still not ready to discuss crying.
A slap, or as some people like to refer to it, a “smack”, is a broad stroke made with the open hand, as opposed to a punch that is made with a closed fist. Slaps are frequently made across the face, although are much more fun if done to a exposed buttock in the boudoir. It can be also made across hands or any other body part, and can use either the palm of the hand or the back of the hand.
A slap is typically what a man does to a woman. For two reasons, one because a punch may knock her out, and two, because he doesn’t want other people to know that he is a wife beater.
However Bhaji slapping the Howlin Wolf does not fit in that category.
So I did some research and came up with the reasons why animals slap.
1. Beavers slap their tails on the water as a danger signal. Bhaji was not in danger.
2. Female fish of the gambusia genus will slap males with their tail fins if they are over-aggressive in mating. Bhaji was probably not trying to mate with Sreesanth, as they both “allegedly” have the same sort of genitals.
3. Dolphins have been observed to slap the surface with their tails, possibly to express aggression or sexual impulses. This one is a real possibility.
4. Humpback whales will slap their tails on the surface as a warning. Males use their tails to slap other male humpbacks in mating contests. It’s all about a woman that I understand.
Personally I have never felt the need to slap a man because of my interest in the same woman, but these Indian dudes have weird rituals.
Some of them don’t eat cow.
Message to all other nationalities, not eating cow can lead to slapping and or crying.
He was abusing Australians on the field, and doing an even better job off the field.
Then he lost his fire, there was no more moanin at midnight and his red rooster was turning pink.
But one over against the Shane Warne Royals and all that hostility came flooding back.
First he dismissed kaif with a ripping first nut.
And then thrusted his wang dang doodle at kaif in a penile send off, as fiercely as I’ve seen outside of an Apex Twin film clip.
Then he worked Kamran Akmal over, with the ball occasionally but with his mouth repeatedly, in a spell so fiery the umpire, Kamran and Yuvraj all tried to calm him down.
Oh this is my kinda Sreesanth, evil.
Ofcourse all this anger didn’t help him as Shane Watson, of all people, smacked him around.
But it was nice to know he still has it in him.
His fist pumps at the top of his mark are worth the price of admission alone.
Unlike test cricket, my polls take 7 days and often end in ties.
This one concluded that Sreesanth and Andre Nel, who both came out of the same embryo, are equally mental enough to burn down a cricket stadium like that other mental guy did.
Both players received 35% of the vote and practically no one else mattered.
Mark Gillespie was the only other player to get any attention on 13%.
In last weeks polls you people decided that the monkey (roy) should fight the howling wolf (sreesanth) in a caged match to the death.
They got 66% of the vote, I think it was a nice touch that both of them ended up in the caged match together, being that they are now pretty much a couple.
So if anyone knows a promoter I think we can get this thing on.
