I wonder who was commentating then, and what they said. I hope it was Grieg and Benaud.

I hope Tony Greig starts hocking off a special collector's edition "Symonds shoulder charges the streaker" plaque. I'll buy one.

 

[major_panic]

THAT WILL NEVER STOP BEING FUNNY.

I think we need like a "Top Ten Funniest Moments In Sport" thread just so we can all nominate that.

Book. Cover. Don't Judge

You know the story

They could have called it Ian's motherfucking gigantor pinus tour for all I care.

I would so buy anything with that name.

Why is it called HAARP, though?

That's what i'm calling my following of U2s next tour, bitch

That one was funny, but got lame very quickly. The only thing it had going for it was that it was based off "I Vow To Thee My Country".

It also had a couple of alarmingly sexist lines.

I just loved how quickly it got pulled from the air once Australia got kicked out of the Cup.

Do I have to mention the bargain prices again?

Fully Framed with signatures photocopied and stuck on both from Andrew Sydmonds and the Streaker....$5,999

Half Framed $ 5,990.

Oh, for goodness sakes. Why does a theology document study, which could be made of SuperWin, end up being a shallow 500 word description of what the document says without critically commenting on it?!

I have no Idea to be honest. It'll just be a weird Muse thing.

The BHAR tour would have made more sense.

Preferably one only visible to non-American posters. As we all know, American sports suck and American humour usually sucks. I don't want to have to wade through 10 posts about American pansyball just to find onea bout Symonds shoulder-charging the streaker.

It was like when Australia was doing well in the Soccer World Cup, then got CHEATED by Italy. All the ads disappeared in a flash.

Do I have the option of 5,990 easy monthly payments?

Another Top Ten moment would have to be McGrath's scoring 61 not out.

Because God hates your critical commentary.

I'm too critical.

No it fucking wouldn't.

Another Top Ten moment would have to be McGrath's scoring 61 not out.

A top three moment would be Australia losing to Bangladesh in an ODI.

I couldn't stop laughing when that happened. I was in the US at the time and nobody could figure out why I found it so funny. But it kept me in a good mood the entire day.

 

[major_panic]

No it fucking wouldn't.

Every time you write a critical commentary, God kills a kitten?

 

[major_panic]

Ooh, another Top Ten Funny Moment: any time that Mark Webber actually finishes a race.

Now there's another case of the Australian media totally sensationalising our local talent, or lack thereof.

Going by the Old Testament, he kills an entire race.

GOD = Genocide On Demand?

Ahhh I see what you did there. I get it now.

How about Steven Bradbury winning gold in the speed skating at the 2002 Winter Olympics?

That was FUCKING AMAZINGLY FUNNY.

What I love most about the OT is God's interactions with Moses.

Moses: "Damn it, these Israelites are a bunch of obnoxious idiots! God, kill them!"

God: "Now now, Moses, calm down and think good thoughts."

Later...

God: "Damn it, these Israelites haven't done what I said, AGAIN! That's it, I'm gonna smite them like I smote all those other idiots!"

Moses: "Whoah, whoah, God, calm down there and think happy thoughts."

AHH YEAH THAT! Even the media found it funny, it was like "lulz we won two gold medals at the Winter Olympics, one through aerial skier chick and the other through STEVE BRADBURY LOL!"

Don Bradman aside, Steven Bradbury is the BEST. AUSTRALIAN SPORTSPERSON. EVER. Holy shit, the look on his face when he won was just priceless.

Ice skating: You're doing it wrong

I love the guys in the background desperately scrambling to get over the line.

I remember the whole thing clear as day. That was just so fucking incredible.
