Peniche

[Lucky Al]

I love the name "Peniche". It makes me think of vaginas. So does "Mick Fanning". Mick just gave a profoundly thought-provoking and moving post-heat interview by the way. I actually got a lump in my throat when he sighed and said he's not thinking about the World Title this year - he just wants to surf good. I know it sounds as though I'm joking, but I'm serious.

I have the commentary down and listening to Diana Ross sing "You Can't Hurry Love".

...I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
But Mama said

You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes...

I just think those words are so, so true.

The scores for the Taj Burrow and Dill Perillo heat don't seem to be adding up. I might try and break a beer bottle over my head. I've always wondered what that would feel like.

“No pressure at the moment,” Slater said. “I obviously have to perform in the last three events and so do all the other guys. When the race is close like it is this year, it’s definitely a lot more exciting and I feel like I perform well in those situations. The younger guys like Gabriel (Medina) and John John (Florence) and that whole generation are so talented. I’m lucky that I probably only have to compete against them for three more events.”

Sounds like slaters checkin out? Could this be inline with the talk of the asp takeover?

Yep, he couldn't be more clear he's retiring.

I agree on the Taj/Perillo heat by the way. Perillo seemed way underscored. Taj won the heat no dramas but Perillos waves were scored too low IMHO.

I would really like to fondle a warm Peniche at the moment.
Lucky Al. are there any warm willing peniches on hand at the moment in North Vietnam? vegetable vendors, etc...

ps i realise you can't hurry love.

pps as the night grows long, though it sounds like an ugly cnut, I might even settle for a mick fanning

Probably concussion. You could achieve a similar result if you told Mick he reminded you of a vagina

[Lucky Al]

what's happening! i can't be bothered turning the thing on.

[godsavetheking]

it's dark pandemonium v window cleaner's nemesis. swell's pretty solid, seems to be cleaning up but still a bit onshorey.

[Lucky Al]

okay! thanks godsavethequeen. i got the commentating down low and skip james playing "hard time killing floor blues" on the player and i'm into it!

You know that pro surfers
They are driftin' from door to door
But they can't find no heaven
I don't care where they go...

Parko just mastered a froth monster ugly barrel with his usual peniche.

[godsavetheking]

nice one black duck. solid 6.5 for the pun

[black duck]

Not that he's a vagina or anything, i was just thinking panache, which is like peniche, but not like vaginas. Joel doesn't surf like a vagina.

[steve shearer]

yeah, yeah, I think the assembled crowd got the pun.

[steve shearer]

come on Baldy, do it for bald guys everywhere

[black duck]

come on Baldy, do it for bald guys everywhere

That put the kybosh on him.

[steve shearer]

Maybe you 2 should buy some bones and shrunken heads and do the ju-ju on the field. Then you could pick your winners and clean up on the betting.
