Rafael Nadal is a shaved monkey

# Posted by Joel Dixon at 04/02/2009 20:18:23

Bell and I were watching the final of the Australian Open the other night, between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. I was hoping that Federer would win to tie Pete Sampras' record, but Bell was barracking for Nadal because "he looks cute". Cute? Sure, as much as Abu looks pretty cute. Is it only me that thinks Nadal shares many physical traits with a monkey?

(Rafa is the one on the left)

So for the rest of the match I was explaining how the events on TV further prove that a monkey named "Rafa" was stolen from the zoo, shaved, and given a tennis racquet. How his shoes aren't two sizes too small to make him quicker on the court - it's just a sneaky way to hide his small monkey feet. How he didn't understand what the trophy was, so he decided to bite it. And how his constant wedgie picking is easily explained - monkeys just aren't used to wearing pants.

My personal favourite part of the game was during the third or fourth set, when "Nadal" had a quick snack between ends to conserve energy. Was it a coincidence that that snack happened to be a banana? I think not.

He gets really serious when the bananas take too long to arrive

"Banana go down here!"

Today I was wondering whether anyone else has stumbled upon the monkey tennis champion conspiracy as I have. Turns out they have. I don't know why the mainstream media haven't noticed already. Will be an interesting news day when it happens!

Funny post, baby. Pity it's based on jealousy!

If I think he's cute, and he's a 'monkey', then what's that say about your looks?

Grixy - I'd be pretty stoked if my appearance was around the same level as a monkey. I mean - look at that puddin'!

Fury - HU HU! He's gone a little ape shit
