Mick Fanning and the most important thing ever.

Ever. By far.

Sports broadcasting is obsessed with building hero narratives around every single moment. Every little shot, putt, throw, kick, swing, pitch, backside 360 or tube carries the weight of the whole world. The participants/observers will talk about the event with much gravitas, afterward, letting the viewer know that history would not be the same if it had not occurred.

Here Mick Fanning wins the 2013 Association of Surfing Professionals world title. An astroid did not hit the earth because of it. Thanks Mick!

I’m so easy. I’ve got goosebumps. This tax return won’t know what’s hit it.

Every-time you laugh at Mick Chas, he hits someone… I hope you can live with yourself.

Welcome Omlete. Words like inexorable can be used freely here and with-out judgement. Your heart would be ripped out if you tried that shit on @ STAB.
