Pet Peeves

With the AFL back, the constant mention of 'excitement machines' and 'live wires' has had me on the brink of randomly assaulting people, and just when I thought that I couldn't take anymore, something worse came along.

And with a bullet.....that annoying fucking 'crazy frog' ringtone! Honestly, whoever put that fella in the public domain needs a bullet. Have you heard that ringtone? It's got to be right up there with Mumps in the list of 'world's shittiest things'.

To make things worse, they've now brought Harold Faltermeyer's 'Axel F' in, and mixed it with the crazy frog. Truly, there is no justice in this world.

Next it'll be a mix of the crazy frog and Bruce McAvaney using the words 'excitement machine'.... that will seriously tip me over the edge.

i heard a white player referred to as an excitement machine on the weekend. what are you thoughts on this apparent paradox?

david wojcinksi and other fast white players are often referred to as race horses or speedsters. does this imply that they are not exciting, or is the fact that they are not exotic looking (ie., black) mean they are not, in fact, exciting?

Finally, does the fact that call referred to a geelong player make it acceptable, or should legislation be passed that limits the term to short, fast, goalkicking, indigenous players?
