Named after an unsanitary practice involving a backside, finger and unsuspecting upper lip, Dirty Sanchez are the Welsh equivalent of the Jackass sicko stunt team. However, there are only four of them - Dainton, Pritchard, Joyce and the constantly hassled Pancho - which means a lot more pain per person. This film begins with a fictional sequence in which the "boyos" are accidentally killed and go to hell - only to be returned to earth by Satan to traverse the globe carrying out the Seven Deadly Sins. While there are similarities with some Jackass escapades, Dirty Sanchez are more into telling an ongoing story, less reliant on using vehicles and take things that bit further. How far? In Japan, exploring the sin of pride, Pritchard decides to regain lost honour by chopping off the end of his finger with a cigar cutter. He does so - and Joyce eats it. If you're not shocked, disgusted and bizarrely entertained by the end of the fillum, the DVD boots you in the bollocks with 14 extra scenes, including more footage of Dainton and co. succeeding in out-grossing-out the Tokyo Shock Boys.
A major part of my weekend was spent with family members, but great as that was, I don't feel like talking about it. Instead, my subject shall be cricket.
It's been a while since I recommended any music, so here goes:
Called in crook today, which I really don't like doing. But it was either go to work and annoy everyone by blowing my nose a million times and coughing a billion (and exaggerating a zillion!), or confine myself to quarters and hope to knock out a cold that's been ducking and weaving since Monday.
I did it! I picked the winner of the Melbourne Cup!
Staying-inside weather today. Decided to watch some DVDs people had lent me, so I could return them.
The first time I see Australia play Great Britain in rugby league LIVE - in game four of the Gillette Tri-Nations series at Aussie Stadium - and we lose.
Post-work drinks with DL on Friday turned into a funk-band-fuelled sesh with LA that ended after midnight. I didn't consume a stupid amount (six-seven beers over as many hours, plus a single shot of schnapps), or spend too much ($50 including a taxi home), but I made the rookie mistake of accepting a Winnie Gold or two and have had a disgruntled stomach and icky mouth ever since. No hugging the toilet bowl or any of that unpleasantness, though, and I should be back to 100% perkiness by tomorrow.
