The Long Walk to Freedom

So apparently Nelson Mandela had some kind of "journey" or something. I'm told it was a big deal and while it was a huge lus, he stuck with it and eventually got what he wanted. But enough about freedom, it's totally over-rated. The Spanner's journey to the UCT Internal League Semi-Finals has been one that no one could've predicted. In the 2007 season the Spanners finished in 16th place, i.e. dead last after they were forced to forfeit the last game against Ikhaya due to a lack of players.

After losing against an amazing Ubumbo side, the Spanners doubted whether their dream of a semi-final could come true. But we all looked in the eyes of Chase Hyde, the Spanner's Down syndrome cheerleader, who's dream was to see the Spanners in the semis. This fictional scenario gave the Spanners the determination to secure their place in the semis by beating the Wlid Boys 9-7. While the home side didn't managed to score a try, their disciplined defense allowed for only one Wild try.

So although we lost some matches along the way, we seemed win the ones that really counted. Some will call it luck, others may call it team play while the rest of the Internal League have an opinion which we don't care about. And so the Spanners are now guaranteed a top 4 finish in the 2008 season. On the 17th September at 18:30 they will face the Cobras for the second time this season. Which ever way the match goes, it is sure to be one filled with plenty of gees and probably a wayward arm or two. But that's part of the fun...

I really can't believe we have made the semi-finals... I'm actually nursing a semi just thinking about it. But enough of that, enjoy this piece of shit collage that I constructed:


Let's go fuck them up. Yeah.

P.S.
What is wrong with you people?
Seriously, what the fuck? 80% of you got it wrong. The correct answer to that poll was Sandra Bullock. Penelope Cruz is one of the most over rated women to ever exist. You may not know this, but she can't even speak English. Good luck, Mexicans.
