Ad nauseam
by Tony Sebastian who is very, very tired of seeing the same Advani ad on all blogs.
L.K Advani surprised everyone today by announcing at a press release here that he was not in the running for parliament but was actually contesting for a membership in the ICC's elite panel of umpires. "Ngyeah?" said a reporter taking the word right out of our mouth. "What did you think the promotion meant when it said "Advani for PM (Panel Member) " and "A leader who can make tough decisions"? I've always wanted to be a cricket umpire. " replied Advani. "But you do not know anything about umpiring!" Said another perplexed member of the press. "Why should that stop me? You think I know something about governance? " retorted LK effectively quashing all logical arguments. "We are going to build the Ram temple" He added, sending his supporters into a wild frenzy.
"I knew this was coming. This actually makes more sense. What is the point of advertising to be Prime Minister on every other blog when the blog reading crowd in India is less than 1% of its population? Besides how many of them would actually vote? If he is contesting to be an umpire however, he gets to impress cricket commentators and analysts and other informed decision makers" Said Aftab Khanna displaying his remarkable ability to foresee things after they have happened.
"I think this is a great idea. Isn't Advani the really fat guy who made that super cricketing song sometime back? Aa eh oh, eh oh ah! no? Oh then I have no opinion" Said a college going girl with red streaks in her hair identified only as 'Scarlet O'haira'. "Be abreast, your country needs more breasts" advised @bigfatphoenix, but the girl had already gone... with the wind.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it, He is a tall man" Said Ravi Shastri using his permanent explanation for anything that happens and widening the spectrum of the amazing things tall men can do like bowl a bouncer, hit a six with ease, field well at the boundary, run well between wickets, peep into the answer sheet of the guy in front of you etc.
"Hmmm this should be interesting. #india09 #advani #indiavotes09 #cricket #icc #me #you #theentirehumanrace" said Nikhil Narayanan speaking in twitter-tongue and generally making a hash of things. "People who use hash are dopes" Said Jagdheesh Singaram returning to Royal Ramble after a long hiatus before returning to his ganja. "What withdrawal symptoms do dopers exhibit?... joint pain hehehehehe" he added ensuring that his presence was felt.
"I am stumped! I mean, he is definitely over-stepping the line. He needs to think it over. The only creases he is used to are the ones on his forehead. You get the pitch...er..." Said Chuck making full value of the limited space he received in the hope that people will be enticed into reading his blog.
"I am really irritated with the same "Advani for PM" ad on every other blog. It is seriously getting on my nerves. If I see it one more time, I am definitely getting myself registered and voting against him." said a frustrated netizen without realising that Advani was actually vying to be an umpire. "Well what do you expect? Advani anagrams to 'Vain Ad'. Always check for anagrams. Machi dum irukkaa?" Said Jagdheesh Singaram reappearing again in the hope that his witty anagram would fetch him a cigarette.
In unrelated news, Kunjunni of Std. III B has also decided to launch an advertising campaign on all blogs to find his rubber pencil. Royal Ramble wishes both of them all the very best.
