Are you taking the piss?

- If there was ever a game more designed to have the piss taken out of it (Apart from cricket), I’d really like to know. Rugby is the domain of rather large, testosterone fuelled beast-men, who like to beat the be-Jesus out of each other by aggressively hugging their opponents. Throw in 44 pairs of shorty shorts, a bit of a dance for our boys beforehand, some rather absurd commentary, and piss take-ability reaches Chernobyl-like proportions. But let’s blow this mama over the top by bringing in a master-piss taker. Jed Thian (Aka the Jedi) will have rugby-lovers and haters busting their guts in unison, as he delivers the Alternative Rugby Commentary for the 2008 season. Jedi started dropping his rugby piss-bombs in 2005, with the evening growing each passing year to become an entertainment spectacle of Jonah Lomu-sized measurements. The basic premise involves the live screening of an All Blacks game at the Loaded Hog. Only, instead of Mr’s Nisbitt and Mexted calling the action, you get Jed, the commentary colossus, calling the play by play from his own, rather demented and funny perspective. It’s no holds barred, so if you are easily offended, with little in the way of a sense of humour or the ability to fake it - stay at home. For the rest of you fun and fabulous people, the next game kicks off at 7.30 on Saturday night, when the limey fruits (The English) take on the Polynesian plunderers (The AB’s). Or you can listen to it streaming live at www.arcrugby.co.nz. Jedi will be ready and waiting. -Darren
