“Gentlemen, there is a little boy in hospital who very much hopes that you win today. I know this because I put him in hospital myself to motivate you”.
- Montgomery Burns
I have watched enough American films to know that a squad of athletes who have played a sport for 20 years, and whose future multi-million dollar salaries depend upon their performance in a game they have spent 8 months training for, are not sufficiently motivated to do so unless there is a human-interest story behind it. Therefore, I would like to know which .Net human interest stories should be motivating the players today?
Please keep genuine emotion out of this. I am from a culture that believes two men may share genuine emotion only when one of them has a terminal illness, and the other one is drunk. Plus, this is .Net. We’ll save the genuine emotion for the Superb Owl.
Let’s win it for:-
- First of all, Les. We always joke about how much Les has to put up with from you guys, but he has also had to put up with two financial depressions and Prohibition. Les has not been as excited as he is today since the railroads came to Seattle.
- Montanahawk. With nothing to do in Montana (I’ve never seen any pictures, so I imagine it kind of looks like the Moon), I am concerned that he could turn to compulsive eating and his weight could balloon to 120 pounds.
- Roland. If we lose today, I worry that he will refuse to come out of his basement for months, shunning human interaction and spending all of his time on the internet, and...actually, forget this one just now, we’ll come back to it later.
- CANhawk. My vision of him if we lose is of a guy in a Poutine-covered lumberjack shirt crying gravy whilst holding a moose round the neck for consolation.
- Banjodude. No reason, I just worry about the guy.
- Bestfightstory – otherwise he will have damaged and/or forgotten strangers’ luggage for no reason.
- Mystermatt – I just can’t stand the thought of those twinkly eyes dulled by tears.
- And, most of all, in memory of Pehawk. I’d like you all to pour out some Men’s Room Original Red from the Elysium Brewing Company (apparently Pehawk couldn’t get enough Men’s Room) and remember our feisty, scorpion-fighting little scamp. It seems crazy to think that such a clean-living soul could have been taken from us so early.
Go Hawks.
