Brick shithouse and rugby player Sir Colin Meads died at the spry age of 81.
He was given the nickname “Pinetree” because he was a player no one could fell (New Zealandian for “Couldn’t be knocked over”).
Early in his career he described himself as a “country hick in the big time.” So… he liked country music?
He saw himself as a father first, a farmer second and an All Black incidentally. He saw that last one incidentally because the motherfucker was a white guy. Who do you think you are? Rachel Dolezal?
He played Rugby in new Zealand for 14 years where he broke his back, broke his arm, and was viciously kicked in the head as he lay on the ground.
None of these injuries ended his career. You know why? He was a fucking rugby player!
Now that’s a man who knows that LeBron James is nothing but a weak-ass little pussy.
Meads’ 55 caps were a world record. I mean, that’s a lot of hats… but a world record? I hardly think so. I mean, there’s a guy who owns over 100,000 hats today.
His trademark was running with the ball in one hand. His grip was secure because he had scarlet fever when he was nine & it left him with fingers of both hands slightly clawed in. OK, Rugby players never cease to amaze me. This guy took his scarlet fever and turned it into an advantage! Do NOT fuck with these guys!
This obscure pick goes to: Wes. …dick.
He is now tied with me for the lead. My beautiful lead! Already destroyed!
Happy pooling,
SPMI
