Weekend Retro

Published by SJ at 4:54 am under General

I proved to be the greatest punter walking the planet Saturday when Maldivian pinched a beautiful lead round the corner at Moonee Valley and held out Zipping and Samantha Miss to take out the 2008 Cox Plate.

Mark Cavanaugh’s reaction seemed a bit over the top and stupid looking. I remember remarking that he looked like a retard. Then I put myself in his shoes and remembered the trouble he had with Maldivian last year in the Caulfield Cup and the late scratching so I could see why he was so excited. Plus he had just won the Cox Plate!!

To make things even sweeter for me I had put an all up bet on Whobegotyou in an earlier race into Maldivian in the Cox at the fixed odds of &16.80, I am the king.

In other odds news interestingly John McCain has dropped from the odds of $8 earlier in the week to a slightly less attractive $5.25 as of Sunday evening. I am not sure why this has happened but maybe some of the Gun Shops are reporting sharp increases in hunting rifle sales?

UFC 90 didn’t really pan out as I hoped with the tipped victory of Silva over Cote proving correct but in a manner in which I didn’t predict. Instead of ending up in a coma, Cote slipped on a banana peel in the middle of the ring and blew his knee out. Silva wins by TKO (injury).

The third test in India starts Wednesday and I am excited to see for the first time in about 5 years Australian are not favourite to win. This is a landmark moment in recent betting history and I think the Aussies will be worth a crack for underdog reasons. The other main reason is that Matthew Hayden has failed to this point and is absolutely due to destroy the Indians. $3.50 is the best you have been able to get for a long time and I suggest you take it.

    SJ, how disappointing that you have not only rambled on about the amazingly boring topic of gambling once AGAIN……. but you have also added mentally disabled people to your stable of abuse victims!! Your parents must be so proud of who you’ve become!!

  2. Rob Bon 27 Oct 2008 at 10:34 am

    I must agree with iamasmartman.com here. You are better than this SJ please stop this sort of rhetoric. I also hope your hunter rifle comments aren’t meant to indicate the possible assassination of one of the worlds great hopes.

    I did appreciate the tip on Maldivian.

    UFC 90 was a bit dissapointing in the main event but the right man won. Some of the earlier fights were entertaining.

    Rob B…one of the worlds great hopes??????

    C’mon, he hasn’t done anything yet and you bang on like he’s Mandella or his holiness the Dalai Lamma.

    Please proceed to the nearest mirrorr, look long and hard and give yourself an upper cut….please.

    Also SJ…….yesterdays great punter is tomorrow biggest loser!

  4. Rob Bon 27 Oct 2008 at 12:43 pm

    Let me see what he has done. He is a black man who managed to become the next president of the United States. Pretty impressive so far. What would it take to impress you Tiger?

    Don’t tell me to give myself an upper cut, you are the one who should have a look at yourself. That is, if your mirrors aren’t all broken.

  5. tigeron 27 Oct 2008 at 1:24 pm

    What??? Lobby heaps of rich people (ie. Oprah) for funding so you can run for president and win a popularity contest. Anyway Mr PC, why does it matter that he’s black? isn’t it great feat to be president no matter what your colour or creed?

    It will take his first 6 months of presidency to impress me. If he wins.

  6. iamasmartman.comon 27 Oct 2008 at 2:24 pm

    Rob, I enjoyed the mirror joke at The Tigress’ expense. Good job.
    Tigress, once again you confuse & intrigue me. At times your ramblings appear to be those of an intelligent individual …yet at other times you seem to be influenced by the majority of dumb losers who frequent this sight. At least Velcrap & his ilk are consistently nothing but stupid racist imbeciles! I know their type & how to deal with them. You sound as if you could be a lot more!!

  7. Velcroon 27 Oct 2008 at 3:50 pm

    Who let that niff IASM back in the country?

    The World BBQ Chicken Expo has asked him to be their key note speaker at next years conference

  8. Rob Bon 27 Oct 2008 at 4:07 pm

    That’s an unfortunate comment Velcro and if you think about it, it doesn’t make much sense.

    Tiger, you and Ms Hanson will be reunited one day. To suggest that a black man getting voted in as US president is no more impressive than a white man getting voted in as president simply highlights the fact that you don’t believe racism exists in today’s society. Where on Earth do you come by this logic? Is there some sort of school that teaches this? RACISM exists in all avenues of life, open your mind and heart and think about how you perpetuate it constantly.

  9. iamasmartman.comon 27 Oct 2008 at 5:06 pm

    Velcrap, dare to imagine…… a world outside of your taxi & the takeaway shops you frequent…..imagine a world where a young asian guy can study hard & work hard & have a successful corporate career alongside other Australians!!! That world exists you lowlife bigot!!!!! I am living proof!!! Why do you need to try to hang on to the “good old days” when asians were allowed no other options than to be shopkeepers & cleaners??If you don’t start to change with the world (for the better) you will be trapped in your bevan life & your kids will be destined to the same sad angry life as you….the perpetuation of bevanism. I challenge you to break the mould!

  10. Rob Bon 27 Oct 2008 at 5:49 pm

    Well Said iamasmartman.com

    bravo

  11. tigeron 27 Oct 2008 at 8:57 pm

    I love you too IASM………….

    Rob B………..I think my sarcastic wit my be a bit too subtle for you and IASM. Which quite frankly doesn’t shock me.

    You should see my show live……heaps funnier!

    PS. just for the record I’m a red headed Aboriginal, I have the family tree to prove it too.

  12. tigeron 27 Oct 2008 at 8:58 pm

    Also Rob B, Obama hasn’t won yet.

  13. iamasmartman.comon 27 Oct 2008 at 9:48 pm

    Tigress, I see hope for you.

  14. iamasmartman.comon 28 Oct 2008 at 7:15 am

    Velcrap, I will assume that your lack of reply indicates that you’ve had a good think about your behaviour and you’re willing to start to reinvent yourself. Good on you. A couple of us are here to support you. You CAN break the cycle!!! Show the rest of the bevans that people can change. You don’t need to be a loser all your life. Once again, good on you!

  15. Velcroon 28 Oct 2008 at 8:29 am

    Pfft….my lack of reply was due to me having a life outside of the internet, unlike you.

    Boring – my comment made perfect sense…think harder about it and our little friend who works in a chicken shop.

    And to the big bird slinger himself I don’t see how you finishing a uni degree and working hard every day makes you any better than the thousands of others in this country that have followed the same path, or how that makes you any better than the kids who never get the opportunity to go to uni and make a living out of a trade or other means.

    Having an education is not a qualification…..how you apply it is. Boring – i expect that went over your head and through to the keeper. Go back to your opera ‘Bravo Boy’

  16. Rob Bon 28 Oct 2008 at 10:43 am

    Velcro,

    Your attempted racist comment was related to ‘World BBQ Chicken’.

    I think you will find that most Asian people don’t BBQ that much. So your reasoning that iamasmartman.com runs a BBQ chicken shop makes little sense.

    What you are is a fairly dim-witted individual.

  17. Marteenon 28 Oct 2008 at 11:24 am

    The original post was about gambling and UFC – have you noticed that chinese whispers turned it into a bitch fest and by the end, everyone, even IASM, had forgotten what the post was about. IASM you are no better than the ‘bevans’ you constantly berate, your posts are no better than theirs, and I am tired of hearing your opinion which can be summarised for everyone as “my opinion is that everyone elses opinion is stupid”. Read your own drivel and you will understand.

    All this talk about BBQs has made me hungry.

    PS Sorry I couldnt make it to the UFC SJ, next time, I promise.
    Disclaimer: Note that ‘I promise’ should not be taken literally.

  18. Velcroon 28 Oct 2008 at 12:24 pm

    OMG you just reached a new level of idiocy.

    The long standing joke about IASM and his BBQ chicken shop as nothing to do asian people eating at BBQ’s you fool. By you making that suggestion, it is a racist comment on your own behalf Bravo Boy

    The BBQ chook shop joke originated from IASM saying he worked for Mummy & Daddy’s family business. And a common family business in Aust is a take away hot box. There were no race connotations in the remark at all other than your own.

    You…Rob Boring…are racist! So take your little white hood and get back in your corner.

  19. Koreans BBQ all the time and there asian

  20. Marteenon 28 Oct 2008 at 1:22 pm

    Desperate words from a desperate man……….

  21. iamasmartman.comon 28 Oct 2008 at 7:31 pm

    Woodless, is your wife still doing her bit for world relations?? She certainly all about sharing the love!!!

  22. iasm & Rob I’ve worked/travelled in the following asian countries, India, Nepal , China, Tibet, Hong Kong (before it went back), Thailand, Indonesia, PNG, Korea & Vietnam and one thing is for sure they all BBQ their food.
    Rob have you ever wondered why so many Vietnamese run bakeries …it’s because their country was once a French colony and they were taught the art of pastry cooking, I’m not being racist its certainly an eye opener to be in bum fuck nowhere Vietnam and find the tastiest pastries this side of Paris. They come out here work hard and ply their trade more power to them I say, and more tasty cakes for me to enjoy. The comment that velcro made was not Racist it was a generalisation.

  23. iamadipshit had a root lately oh thats right no girlfriend!

  24. tigeron 29 Oct 2008 at 12:11 am

    Wow….Woody off the top rope with a double smackdown!!!!

    I would like to see how well travelled our two high horsed friends are?

  25. iamasmartman.comon 29 Oct 2008 at 5:03 pm

    Woodless, reading a lonely planet left on the workshop toilet floor is not travelling…you racist pig !!!

  26. iamasmartman.comon 29 Oct 2008 at 5:04 pm

    Tigress, I have travelled extensively all across the world & have an appreciation for all cultures except Bevanism!!

  27. so your racist towards bevans then?

  28. iamasmartman.comon 30 Oct 2008 at 6:51 am

    Woodless,
    Are you admitting that there is a bevan race?
    Is your wife still spending a lot of time at “work?”
    Are you still a fat loser?

    I ASK THE QUESTIONS AROUND HERE!!

  29. Woody (I live in a swamp, I put up signs)on 30 Oct 2008 at 10:21 am

    no you speak shit around, here stick to what you are good at you cock sucking chicken plucker. why don’t you stick with bi asian sites surely they are more to your liking

  30. iamasmartman.comon 30 Oct 2008 at 5:16 pm

    You are playing a dangerous game here Woodless!! Don’t make me ban you from this site! I have had Realbiggutz & the Fat One removed from here…..do you want to be next?? I have the power to do it & I will exercise that power if you are not careful!! Don’t ignore my advice like you ignored the signs of your wife’s growing unhappiness…..we all know how that’s turning out!!
