After squashing everyone who dared to challenge him in Wii golf, Godzilla decided to extend his domination to real golf. In a totally ‘un-Godzilla’ like behavior, he wakes early Saturday morning, picks some of his equally lazy friends and drives to a driving range.
Later in the afternoon, R2 enters the living room to find Godzilla slumped on the recliner, staring intensely at an open beer bottle kept on the coffee table right in front of him.
R2: Godzilla, you are so lazy!! Why don’t you pick up the beer bottle, its just 2 feet away. It seems you were waiting for me to come in and pick it for you!
Godzilla (almost groaning): Dude, can you just pass it over? I am in lot of pain – my arms are sore, my back is hurting – I am so tired!
R2: Why, what happened? Did you do extreme weight lifting or run a marathon?
Godzilla: Nah.. I went to driving range. Didn’t imagine it will be so tiring and painful.
R2: Why don’t you just accept your virtual existence and stick to your virtual social and physical life? Do you want me turn on Wii for you and hand over the remote?
Godzilla: Don’t rub it in, man. Hey, something funny happened over the driving range, I must tell you!
R2: Go on.
Godzilla: So, I went with Dipanjan, Subbu and Hemang. Subbu is a ‘natural golfer’ and Dipanjan has his own club set.
R2: Which means they suck less than you do.
G: Yeah. Anyways, I assumed that playing golf is same as playing cricket. Just that it’s simpler because the ball is stationary and the only shot you need to play is lofted straight drive. So I was playing my lofted straight drivers with all the fancy footwork. Hemang, fellow newbie, for some reason thought that I was a pro. He complimented me on my style and liked how I was using my full body weight and exaggerated movements to generate ball speed. He observed me for a while from various angles; I gave him a tip or two. Soon he was back to his tee, hitting lofted cricket straight drives using slightly modified version of my fancy footwork. Only problem was that none of our shots crossed 10 yards or went straight. Dipanjan, to our dismay, pointed out later that what we thought was superlative technique, was absolutely wrong and extremely funny! He then showed us the right technique.
R2: Hehehe, that was funny!Though, what makes you think that Dipanjan knows any better?

Perhaps just the fact that he owns a golf club set makes Godzilla think Dipanjan knows better ...he he he...at least that would have been enough to give me the illusion that he knows better :-)
ReplyDeleteRemember though, Dipanjan is the 'king of fundaes' dude :-))...
There was a sense of irony in that comment. I owns arts supplies, a roller blade and squash racquet - still I am a horrible painter and have not bladed or played squash for years. Note R2's last comment
