Play-By-Play Commentary

Aaaaand Curtain

And now, Jason mercifully pulls a curtain across the seizure-inducing onsl—OH WAY TO GO even the merciful curtain itself is going to make kids around the world have epileptic fits. It's like when you go to the doctor in Tijuana and get the local cure:

PATIENT: My dear good fellow, I am suffering from a horrible case of diabetes. I mean it is really all up in my junk.

DOCTOR: I got just the thing.

PATIENT: Outstanding. Because this is really getting in my way of enjoying my hobbies, which include hand-carving "back massagers" for women out of fine porcel—oh my dear god why did you just shoot me in the kneecap with a musket.

DOCTOR: Now you have something else to worry about besides your stupid diabetes. Frankly I was tired of all the yammering.

Don't you think this volley is exactly like that? The cure is almost worse than the sickness? Don't fight me on this. Anyway the curtain has fallen on the first half of this match. Let's see what kind of gastrointestinal nightmares the second half has to offer!

Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Joshua Allen.
