Bonnie Blue in Wales

The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

The Rugby

One becomes aware of the fact that the adult male of the species is really only a little boy with more money and a larger clothes size when a phone call allows for two tickets to a game involving a ball and lots of blood. Actually, this is a bit simplified of an explanation, because the game really is quite important as it is an international, and a crowd of 76,000 people is expected. Katherine Jenkins will be recording with the largest backup crowd or something...

Today is the Wales v. Australia game, the air is crisp, and the sky is a gorgeous sunny blue.

I have been brought appropriate attire, instructed to wear it and am about to leave my house in a big red rugby shirt to meet the rest of the posse, who have been at it since 11am.

Rugby shirts only make you look fat because they are designed to fit fat people pretending to be sportsmen. Ahhhh rugby, the sport of gentlemen. I can hear the sound of wet towel on buttock.
Football is supported by more of the populus yet rugby is the national sport, go figure.
Now darts, there's a sport.

Yes, but think of all the things you could hide under that shirt if you decided, spur of the moment, you wouldn't to go on the raise...
