Squash Pilgrimage
Across from Video-Ezy on Turpin road in Labrador, Gold Coast, is the Labrador Squash Centre.On Friday morning, the Rag Tag Bond Squash team (or most of it) including myself, Myles, Wilky, Jay, Matty took a roadtrip to find this Mecca of squash. And like Mecca had the prophet Muhammed, the Labrador squash centre has owner/operator - Don.
The word from Brett Martin (former #2 ranked world player, and our coach) was that this was the place on the coast to get squash equipment.
The Labrador squash centre is supposed to open at 10am. Unlike the prophet Muhammed, Don was not on time...45 minutes late (Not so sure what kind of following Don will have if he keeps this up).
Small in stature, Don is big on his rackets...and knows how to accept a good deal when he hears it. Apparently I even bought a new racket - with the exchange rate, it just made sense.
The Butterfly, Myles and Matty also made purchases.
The best purchase may have been the Labrador squash shirts which probably retail for 30 dollars each...but when i told Don that we'd all buy one for $10 a piece and that would put a quick 50 bucks in his pocket, he just couldn't say no. I'm sure that $50 is in some strippers G-string by now.
A word to the wise, don't ask Don any questions if you go to the Labrador Squash Centre. You're likely to a shorter answer from a politician on why they should be re-elected...it's just not worth it.
On another note - the idea of the year may have come up as well. Let me ask the readers of this blog a question - what kind of sports movie has never been released? That's right...a Squash movie. We think there's a market. Think Hoosiers and Dodge Ball put together...it's genius.
More to come on this...maybe...

Fuck, enough with the squash, no one cares...
Are you sure you're in law school?
This blog is getting a little bit boring. What about a comment on the Australian tourism add? Canada has sensored this. The UK did but had a change of heart. As an Australian I wish they had come up with something a little more imaginative that did need to employ the phrase: "where the bloody hell are you?" Qantas did an advertising campaign a few years back that was far more effective.
