Bob, at 19:25 on Tue, May 24 1994, you wrote to Bill Grimsley ...

BL> Bullshit! He got it down.

The camera would disagree with you there, but no matter. ;-)

BL> And what about Brasher? He was a mile onside when that refereee 
BL> you bought got it wrong. Thieves and robbers.

Yeah, and he cost an arm and a bloody leg too, which pissed me off no end,
because I wanted NSW to win the first match. Bastard! We'll get him back
one of these days.

BL> It took divine intervention for Qld to win in the last 30 
BL> seconds. Must have been. Were you the one who sacrificed a 
BL> burnt cat to Ba'al? 

Not in as many words, although I did manage to put a HV hollow-point in
next door's cat around half time, so perhaps Ba'al looked upon that act
fairly kindly. At least the thought was there, and I did mutter a minor
incantation in the direction of Ba'aldom.

BL> It was either you with a cat, or Geoff with a virgin, and 
BL> everyone knows there aren't any virgins in Queensland. 

Actually, until last week, there was, but I found out her address. Pity, in
another 2 or 3 months, she'd have been walking too. ;-)

BL> How can we win with the gods against us? Bloody miracle. It was.

Wait for the MCG match - you'll get your revenge, and if you need any help,
I'm already walking around the neighbourhood seeking out prospective
sacrificial cats (found 4 so far).

BG> Oh well, it's only a game, I guess. ;-)

BL> Blasphemy! Rotten lies and blasphemy. Of course it's not *only* a 
BL> game. Ba'al curse all Queenslanders. If bloody Anthony had done 
BL> his job right and suplied a virgin, we'd have won easy. 

Maybe Anthony did his job TOO well.

BL> Next time, I'll burn Anthony!

Good idea! He's likely the only virgin around, and there's nothing been
said (that I can recall) about the virgin having to be a female!

Regards, Bill
