The "Get it out of your system" Post

The following is of no use to anyone except the author..and his OCD.


The unthinkable was happening (presumably because the unhappenable was being thought, by some reprobate somewhere). 80 minutes on the clock, 0-0 with the Red Thugs having built a phalanx in front of Edwin since kickoff. Wave after wave of Barca attack SMASH on ManU shields after funneling into th hot gat...wait...this movie analogy is making thugs look good... And the Swat Kats released all their TurboKat missiles at Dr.Viper’s Bacteria Beast, but each hit only meant one more Bacteria Beast rose to fight... Xavi weaved, Messi spun, Iniesta threaded, and Villa did other stitching related verbs (while Mascherano knitted quietly in the corner whistling the theme song of “Happy Days”) only to get hacked down by ManU axes and pitchforks.

Still, they battled on with 10 minutes left. Pique chests down long clearance, passes to Alves who slips to Busquets and goes bombing onward. Busquets gets felled by ..some thug, who cares... Xavi takes quickly to Puyol who lays off for Iniesta. Past 2 challenges, back to Xavi, diagonal ball to Alves, first time layoff for Pedro who cuts inside, drives to the byline and picks out Villa. Villa steps over at the last minute letting Messi shoot onto the upright. 4 minutes to play. Quick throw in by Puyol, Iniesta to Pique, who almost passes to Masch but realizes the sweater isn’t finished yet, instead his pass slices through 2 forwards to find Busquets, who pivots around the challenge, sidefoots to Xavi. Xavi feints, takes it into the other half, 1-2 with Messi, 1-2 with Iniesta, passes through to Villa who races clean onto goal, hacked down by Vidic like a tree in the forest, true to the analogy he makes no sound.. No penalty. Into Extra time.



Messi drops back and collects deep in his half. Skips past first challenge, the second, the third. He’s clear. Rushes forward towards Carrick positioned in front of Vidic. Cuts to the left, back to the right, through both of them. Rio slides in to cover, Messi checks, swivels round and is 1 on 1 with the keeper, slides it past..keeper pushes it onto the post, rebounds to Evra who swats it upfield blindly. To Rooney all by himself in the Barcelona half!! No one to beat, with Pique trying to catch up from the opposite D (and Masch in his rocking chair), takes it past Valdez, hits it goalwards. Ball trickles towards the goal line in what will seal the Champions League, Rooney puts his hands to his flappy ears and everyone watches the ball for ManU's winning goal going...going..going....THUD......
THUD .......
THUD ........
SCREEEEEEE...ohmygod .....ITS BOB THE T-REX HOW DID HE GET HERE....and he’s pissed!!! He stomps on the ball...picks up Rooney and bites his head off...Now he’s eating everyone on the ManU team, damn he might not have taste buds but I guess he has taste in football...

It isn’t often I can go so many pieces of writing (3) without an appearance by Bob the T-Rex (Robert to you people... only I can call him Bob). Something just didn’t feel right. Now its out of my system (for atleast 3 more posts), I feel better. Back to the real posts....
