Chapter 7
One day, Anger Man was in a very tired and cranky mood, and the last thing he felt like doing was having a basketball training session. Unfortunately, that was exactly what he had to do.
So he trudged down to the Waller Centre to face his fate. Obvious Boy had decided to bugger off and go play hockey and netball, so he Anger Man was all alone in the world.
Approaching the Waller Centre, Anger Man sensed that something was not quite right. Approaching the Waller Centre, Anger Man sensed that something was not quite right. A glitch in the matrix - they'd changed something.
As he entered the Waller Centre foyer Anger Man discovered what they'd changed - the Waller Centre was decked out in blue gym mats, table, beams and tiny people which looked suspiciously like pygmy pigs. After a few minutes of NOT stamping, cussing, head banging and general anger, Anger Man sat down to meditate. Upon calming down, he realised that as the outside courts were being used and Leita Boswell was also swamped in carnies (small hands, smell like cabbage), there was a good chance that the basketball training would be cancelled.
Of course, Anger Man wasn't that lucky.
When the coaches arrived Anger Man was herded up to the Leita Boswell with the other b-ball players by the cattle-prod-weilding coaches, to face their bi-weekly 2 and a bit hours of torture.
Torture No.1 - laps.
Anger Man was sent on laps around the oval/student car park next to the Leita Boswell. Running around lumpy ground and up hills dodging trees and people is not much fun - especially when one's ankle is completely screwed.
Torture No.2 - sprints.
More up and down hill action, complete with bum-kicking, knee-lifting and reaching running. At this stage, Anger Man was considering standing infront of the stampede of b-ball players and letting them trample him to death.
Torture No.3 - red rover.
I'm not even going to go there.
Torture No....ummm, well after that it all got hazy for Anger Man, as do all training sessions at some stage. One goes from coherent thinking to mindless running and following orders. Eventually the torture becomes so mind-shatteringly detrimental that some basketballers block it from their memory and even look forward to the training session each week.
But the point of the story was that the Gymspastics took over the Waller Centre, and there's a strong possibility that they maybe connected to the Pygmy Pigs.
And so ends the tale of...
Anger Man and the taking over of the Waller Centre by the Gymspastic peoples.
