We like texture

One day I will win the Booker Prize or steal it from some undeserving cad - like Zadie Smith (sorry, Karen Little*). Whichever comes first.

That would be fun. A real feather in my cap, Joseph Heller might say.

But for the real "I AM A GOD!" feeling, try scoring a goal in soccer. Mm hmm.

I came on at half time. Within five minutes a ball was headed backwards to me, and I tapped it into the net. Then I ran back to our halfway line, and did an ill-coordinated cartwheel to mark my smokin' hot goalscoringness.

Damn, that net was hungry. We ended up winning 13-0. I know, I know... scoring couldn't have been too hard, huh?

I don't care. I am on the scoresheet. I feel ten feet tall. I get the burger for free. I snipe the pheasant.

Because of a ball. Because of a competitive fiction. Like the Booker Prize.

Men.


13-0? het jul teen die kleuterskool gespeel?

Does it count if they were bandaged lepers?

No, seriously. It was our second team against their first team. Everyone gets a turn to shine, I guess.

13 - 0? Ridiculous. Were you playing against Bafana Bafana? (Lame... I know).

So, when you win that Booker, can I have an autographed copy? ;-)

Course you can, Karen.

Hell, I'd autograph the damn Booker itself if it means I get to autograph something!

we affirm ourselves in objects...

So what's it going to be about?

Lepers, LOL! Q: Why did the leper hockey game get called?

A: There was a face off in the corner.

How utterly crass of me. :-P
