Wow! Is that a fifth of whiskey in your compression undergarmet or are you just happy to see me? *wink*

Well it’s almost the end of my Very Merry UnBirthday and I am well pleased! I had a great party Saturday and today, which is my actual birthday, was peaceful and relaxing. So now it’s back to blogging and all that yackety boo! Like to hear it here it go…

And Here I Was All Worried And Shit!
Cécile, Rose…you may now breathe a sigh of relief, Troy Flavell and Richie McCaw are to retain their respective captaincies! Thank GOD! I was so freakin’ worried I could barely sleep at night! I thought I was going to need an Ambien prescription or something! Whew!

Everyone’s Got An Opinion…No Matter How Stupid
Don’t bother saving NZ Rugby. Just toss it all out and start all over again!

Graham Henry thought he was gonna eat it.

And so did this guy!

Confidence Building Good. Building False Hope Bad!
Highlanders PLEASE! This means nothing! You still suck!

Nucifora is trying to fuck it up for Joe again! Graham Henry will not be pleased…

And In Mils Muliaina News...
Malili’s hair is still on point so that’s good. And then there’s video! VIDEO! Sigh. I know I shouldn’t be so excited but I can’t help it! He’s just so sweet and intelligent and personable! Sigh.

And On The Other Side Of The Tasman Sea...
Matt Giteau, that Hot Piece Of Australian Rugby Trash, is No. 1 at being No. 10. Had we any doubts? Me thinkeths not!

What's really hood Western Force? Save all that aggression for the pitch yo! Well at least you've moved on from fondling wildlife...

Lose weight, gain it...won't make a difference Reds. You are the Highlanders of Australia. Embrace your mediocraty. Poor Clinton Schifcofske, he's too hot to be on this so called team!

Sterling Mortlock is still playing it coy with the Brumbies. Don't let them force your hand Morty! $3.75 million ain't nothing to fuck with baby. I say go with the cash!

Is this a sign? Could the Waratahs of 2006 be making a return? If the recent pre-season ass kicking dished out to the Crusaders is any indication then YES!

And another bright spot is the very cutie patootie young Tongan named Alfi Mafi! Don’t know if I’d call him Rugby Trash just yet, I have to see him in action first. But until then please enjoy these photos I stole from his Bebo page!

Hey there my Dear Readers! One more week to Super 14 and I’m super excited! I’ve tried to ignore my burgeoning hysteria but it can no longer be contained! I’m looking forward to the games, chatting about everyone’s new hairstyle (What the fuck happened to Jason Eaton?!? BOY STOP!) and yes, I’m even looking forward to the podcasting! Sure, I know I’ll be singing a different tune in April but for now I am, as the Kiwi boys say, STOKED! Now on to the gossip…

Hurricanes Up In The Club!
I came out (I came out)
To have a good time (Yes I did)
That’s all that’s on my mind
Said I got my money (Got my money)
And I got my whiskey (Got my whiskey)
Because tonight I’m gone get real tipsy
Got My Whiskey – Mel Waiters

Aaahhh, the first scandal of Super 14! Oh how I loves it! If you haven’t heard there was a minor kerfuffle at a local Wellington bar and some Hurricanes were allegedly part of the problem. Well my sources say the ringleader was none other than Thomas Waldrom, possible assisted by Tamati Ellison’s younger brother Jacob!

The news story made it sound as if the whole team was up in the club throwing their weight around and makin’ it rain on them hoes! But my sources say it wasn’t even close! As one source put it, “the woman complaining was mental obviously.”

Was she? Or maybe she was so disgusted by the sight of TW all up in her face that she lost her freakin’ mind? I mean the boy does look like Peter Boyle from Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein. My feelings would have been hurt too! It’s Thomas Waldrom for goodness sakes! But even with all this inconsequential fooliwang the most interesting part of this story is something else the source said about the woman who brought the charges. It would seem that the Hutt ladies, Upper and Lower, have a bit of a reputation for being…how can I say this…not the classiest of women. So whom should we believe? My sources are steadfastly behind the boys on this one but I think it’s too soon to tell. I think the “disturbance” was equal parts rugby ego and just plain feed-the-fuck-up female exhaustion. Any Hutt ladies want to weigh in on this one please do so in the comments section!

Jerry’s Christmas Holiday Snaps
I wonder if these were taken before or after he pissed everyone off in Rarotonga? The other people are smiling so I guess it was before. Looks like fun though. I wouldn’t mind having lunch in the water like that!



And Now For Some Good News
If you haven’t already seen these please enjoy snaps of the recent weddings of Doug Howlett and Joe Rokocoko. I have to say that I’ve seen a few rugby wives and girlfriends but Joe’s wife is by far the prettiest! Maybe it’s because she’s half Tongan and Samoan? Maybe. But all I can say is congratulations Joe! You picked a good one!
Thanks for the wedding pics Santeriasister and Rose! - GD
