Ah, Simpsons quotes. That's what spending a lifetime stuck in front of the TV, aka Surrogate Parent Number 1, does to you. To almost everyone else my age, the utterance of a random quote will send the room into hysterics. Unfortunately, the oldies don't always get it though my parents know a couple of lines that we like to do the rounds with from time to time. You know that's entertainment the entire family can enjoy. Too bad the quotes have been left wanting as of late... so long to the golden age of The Simpsons... that Simpsons Movie had better be good, or else.


No, that's not what an actual game looks like, that's just the kids playing during the half time break. Though some might argue they'd do a better job than those actually being paid to play, especially if you're a Richmond or Carlton supporter.

Of course this quote and overly long preamble has to lead into something sports related, so I may as well start right about... now. I managed to persuade my sister into going to another footy game. From the title, you may have already guessed that it was her team versus my team. Overall, the game was fairly entertaining for the most part, with a minimum amount of slow controlling footy which our game is currently transfixed with. The scoreline was close, but I'm not really here to provide a commentary on how our teams went. No, I wish to discuss my behaviour after the game.

You see, my team managed to not lose the game as football teams I support are often prone to do. Which inevitably triggered a reaction from myself involving a bit of gloating in front of my sister. After all there when you have bad losers, you also have bad winners. And I am about to admit I am very much guilty of being in the latter category, as the following pictures will attest.

Here I look so up myself I almost appear to be asleep. Jen pulls off a pretty good disappointed look here.

Here we both are in our natural respective demeanour. That is, my sister is a naturally cheerful person, while I play the easily startled buffoon. Both photos taken by me, which explains why I am constantly out of shot...

So from the evidence provided, I should really provide some sort of apology to my sister for crimes against decency. Though somehow I think I'll be getting my comeuppance the next time her team beats mine... just hope her display won't be as rough as mine, I might have to sink into a black hole of awkwardness to escape it all. But really, this was an excuse to post photos that I found really funny looking back on them while trying to justify it with some shoddily written text. But it was well worth it.

    Lol, nice one. Although, the Kangaroos have won more than they've lost, so should I assume that you've been a gloating, up-yourself bastard for most of this year? :D
    I've hardly been to the footy. I've been a grand total of...1 time. I think I'm going with a couple of friends to one during the holidays. But yeah, me, you, Marcus, Ken, X if he wants. Something to do on the holidays!
