Up Yer BUML: Round 10 Preview: Rice Wars!

Borag Thungg BUMLets! A privileged few will have been aware that I, JdR the Well-Travelled, once again departed Godzone last week for a few days R&R in marvellous Hong Kong. But alas, despite strict instructions to the support drones, the preview for this week’s BUML games was not completed to satisfaction. Be assured that these drones have been appropriately punished. Now, while the weather might make it all moot, let’s look at the THRILLING draw.

Division 1
Bermuda Triangle vs Discheads – Griffith 3
The masters of smack vs the masters of hack. JdR the Obscure’s tip: Discheads
d-bot: Discheads

Plastic Scourgery vs Poachers – Annerley 5B
JdR the Retrospective compared members of the Scourgery to characters from the successful TV series Happy Days earlier in the season. Tonight, it should become clear that they’ve jumped the shark. Either that, or it will be revealed that the Poachers are really Pinky Tuscadero in disguise. JdR the Serupticious’ tip: Poachers
d-bot: Poachers

Mellow Yellow vs Heroes – Annerley 5B
The Green vs The Yellow. Almost but not quite an Irish drinking song. JdR the Brotherly’s tip: Heroes
d-bot: Heroes

Wuxi Finger Hold vs Dyspnoeics – UQ 7B
The team nobody talks about up against the team that everyone’s talking about. Why is this so? JdR the Analytic puts this down to the success story that is both teams public relations antics – ie Wuxi Boss’ Kaitlin’s preference for a no-to-zero press presence, up against Mansauce and Andy Lankowski’s constant media hype. JdR the Polite’s tip: Wuxi.
b-bot: W00shy

Division 2
What the Huck? vs Starlights – UQ 7A
What the Huck seem to have managed to master the trick to winning Division 2 games – apply zone on defence and run like hell on offence. Meanwhile, Starlight are on the up after their maiden win as a team last week. Alas, much like the Lions, we can’t see them getting another one tonight. JdR the Axis’ tip: WTH.
b-dot: WTF

Agent Orange vs Griffith Go-Go’s – Griffith 1
For some reason, folks in our hearing have started to nickname Agent Orange as ‘the belly buttons’. Some may think this is some sort of stream of consciousness thing along the lines of Agent Orange -> Navel Orange -> Navel -> Belly button. But apparently this is not the case, and its something more to do with witchcraft, as several of the team apparently have an ‘outie’ (and seven is a suspicious number in itself). You decide, or you could join the Go-Go’s as they get out the pitchforks and flaming torches and look to rout the evil ones from their Nathan village. JdR the Fetishal’s Tip: Go-Go’s.
d-bot: AO

The Disc-Iples vs Griffith Oh Yeah’s – Griffith 2
Speaking of nicknames, apparently Ryan and Marcus’ gang are playing further with their witty name and tried calling themselves ‘the Iples’, which of course when written looks something like a reference to ‘nipples’, which of course Abe and Issac Stone both have, despite their adventures with open flames. Our point? Nipples. JdR the Erect’s Tip: Oh Yeah’s
D-b-t: Nipples to Cripple

The Ghost Who Walks vs QUTies – Annerley 3A
There’s an old jungle saying that’s probably true - that The Ghost Who Walks has the strength of ten tigers. But this could be the week that the purple-suited ones come up against eleven tigers (and a cougar or two!). JdR the Educated’s Tip: QUTies.
dbot: GWW (Get Wet Willy?)

Tsunami vs Chimichangas – Annerley 3B
This is a big clash. JdR the Excited’s Tip: Tsunami.
