Laugh a thon

Last evening was a roller coaster laugh riot at TGIF featuring the inimitable combo of Neil & Pramod. Playing cricket at different levels in India but in the same team for 10 years sure does leave you with a lot of memories.
2 hours at TGIF were nowhere near enough to cover one year, leave alone 10. But it was a start. Excerpts from the evening (this may all seem totally inane for most as you may not be familiar with either Neil or Pramod but here goes)

ND – Neil, PV – Pramod,

ND: “ That F**kin chut Udit…Ranji huh? Ranji? Pathetic. Remember PV that match we played against Arts & Science? We hammered that idiot for a 100 runs just between the 2 of us & Amit”
PV – “ Oh shit ya! I remember after the game which we won by 8 wickets or something…ND told me that guy was playing for the state team. I was shocked and went upto him and said “You??? You’re playing for state??? Hahaha”

***************************
ND sees a guy walking into the restaurant with a pretty girl. He turns to me and says
ND: “I had a fight with that bastard…f**ker thinks he’s a big stud. I’m going to go and have a word with him….actually I’ll wait till PV gets back!!”

****************************
ND notices a cute girl sitting a few tables away with a bunch of people. Suddenly he turns to us
ND: “ That pansy sitting next to that chick…the f**ker used to carry my bags in school! And now look at him…sitting there acting big. What will he do if I go up to the chick and ask her for a drink?”
PV – “ ha ha! They won’t do shit! They are a bunch of pansys”

*************************
ND : “That Kapil Dev is a stud. He plays really well. And Dean Jones shit if that guy played in India he could easily turn pro. But a lot of the others were like girls…they were all queuing up behind me watching how far I would hit the ball.
…a lot of the guys hit the ball longer than I do but *tapping his head* I’m smarter so I win”
ND : “ Man I tried to teach Anneka (girlfriend) golf the other time…it was fun. I drove the putter 3 feet into the green trying to teach her…almost got thrown off the course!”
*************************

PV: "Remember that Mohit..Mohit Goyal? We are playing the university match in some shit town once...and by some miracle we entered the knockout stage! Of course we used to get paid Rs. 20 a day for those matches and we had no money left...the cheapest meal used to cost Rs. 10. and this Mohit f**ker was broke. So he asked us 'Will you give me Rs. 20 if I walk naked from the team hotel to the restaurant?' I took him on and the chut actually walked f-in' naked at 12 in the afternoon for about 500 metres on the road and went in and sat at the restaurant!! And with the Rs.20 I owed him, I bought him lunch! :-)"
****************************

I haven’t laughed this much in a 2 hour period in a long, long time..possibly the last time I did was when I met ND & PV together last! : Good times…good times…I’ll make sure I get a photograph of the legends next time round. :-)
