Remember remember the 5th of November! And forget about the 6th, it's not important.
Anyway, I just remembered this little incident when I was at Macritchie Reservoir a couple of weeks ago. I had just finished canoeing with the girlfriend and her friends, and I was going to hit the shower.
There was this canoeing team that was finishing up too, and they were crowding the DISTURBINGLY OPEN CONCEPT public shower area, so I went into a cubicle instead because I didn't want to be surrounded by 15 naked MALE teenagers (not that it's ok if they were female, cos they're underaged).
Ok I'll admit it, I would've gone into a cubicle too even if the public shower area wasn't full because I'm not a big fan of mass public male nudity.
Anyway, as I was showering, I heard some very disturbing conversation going on outside from the canoeing team members that wen't something like this:
Canoeist 1: *Gibberish nonsense that teenaged boyes like to talk about*
Canoeist 2: EH WO MEN LAI PAI YI ZHANG ZHAO LAH HAHA! (eh let's take a picture haha!) "CHA CHENNNGGGGGG!!!" (that's supposed to be a camera noise, I gather).
Why in the name of holy blue fuck would you want to take a group picture with your naked teammates? In the same vein, what on earth does the butt slap serve to do in team sports? I mean, I've seen some pretty visible 'lift' with some of these slaps, and it always made me wonder what on earth it was meant to do.
"Oh, my captain has just slapped me on the butt (and cupped my ass rather comfortably in the process), and it's made me feel so sexually awkward and uncomfortable. I THINK I SHALL PLAY BETTER NOW AND SCORE MORE GOALS TEEHEEHEE".
If this is what team spirit is like, then I'm afraid I'm not a team player, because these are levels of male intimacy that I will never be comfortable with. It's almost like they're all "playing for the other team" (aheheh).
But then again, I've been working on my Ne-waza (groundwork) quite a bit, and I realised to my horror that the closed guard position is very disturbingly similar to the missionary position.
Observe:
(Wah lau eh the copy makes it worse haha)
("okok you've nearly got it... YEAH RIGHT THERE!")
*cue uncomfortable silence*
Hmmm... perhaps it's ok when the primary aim isn't to induce pleasure, but pain?
Unless you swing that way, of course.
