Root, shoot or marry...

Be a good sport and take part in this week's RSM. We have a distinctly Australian feel (Sorry international guests, but if you’re a sports fan you might know these names anyway).

The Men:
The Thorpedo, now retired from swimming, has recently been grabbing headlines after a French newspaper reported he gave a sample during 2006 that showed abnormally high readings for testosterone. "Sacre Blue" cried Ian Thorpe as he proclaimed his innocence and vowed revenge on the source of these reports.

Mr Humility, a former World #1 tennis champion. Pat Rafter is well known for his freakish ability to return serve and his good nature both on and off the court. A very modest and religious man he remains one of Australia’s top tennis legends.

What can I say about Mr Txt? Love him or loathe him, Shane Warne has become THE greatest bowler of all time. He invented a new bowling technique called the “flipper” and taught the country that phone sex was not just limited to voice conversations. His antics off the field have given him a reputation for things other than his bowling techniques.

The Ladies:
Layne, general top sort and regarded as the best women’s surfer of all time. She has recently won her 7th World title. She founded Aim For The Stars Foundation to financially help girls and young women achieve their ambitions.

Madame Butterfly. I remember going into a chemist one evening in my old hometown and the women behind the counter said to me "Do you know who I just served? It was that lovely Susie O’Neill". She is one of this country's greatest swimming stars, a great sports commentator and a "lovely" lady.

The girl from Queensland with a big heart and strong determination is regarded as a role model by many and as a symbol of national reconciliation. Cathy Freeman managed to create great debate and controversy by breaking protocol and waving both the Aboriginal and Australian flags after winning the 400m at the 1994 Commonwealth games.

So this week: Who will you pick to share the shower in the locker room with, load the starters pistol with real bullets and aim it at and who would you want to run that race of love with to the end?

Ian Thorpe :: Pat Rafter :: Shane Warne


Layne Beachley :: Susie O’Neill :: Cathy Freeman

Oh challenge me Muz...this one is soooo easy!

Root: Warney...the guy's into anything to do with sex...he's gotta have some talents there!
Shoot: Thorpey...over him. Not particularly attractive, too young.
Marry: Pat Rafter of course...humble, good looking, a Queenslander, rich, nice bod. He's a stayer!

Girls:
Root: Our Cathy...she's a legend and seems pretty popular with the boys...there's gotta be something there!
Shoot: Layne - only because I don't want to root or marry her, nothing against her personally.
Marry: Madam Butterfly herself - again, humble, modest, attractive and a QUEENSLAND legend!

S: The Warne creature... somebody needs to put it out of it's misery... it's a joke
M: Which leaves me with Pat Rafter... at least I'll never be without a pair of very cumfy undies...

The Girlies

R: The O'Neill chick... I know nothing much about her, so it could be an in and out job... :P
S: Cathy... sorry Cathy, but I was over you in 2000 even before you wore the condom suit and won gold.
M: Layne... she popped up on The Glass House a few times and she seemed nice enough.

ooh! Oz boys - always a bit edgy I find. heheh.

Root - Ian Thorpe - anyone who can slink into that kind of clingy swimwear without any kind of anxiety has to be worth a go.
Shoot - Shane Warne - that kind of bleached mullet needs to be removed at the neck
Marry - Pat Rafter - aawww.
