What was always going to be a rather heavy session has now been cranked up a few more notches than initially expected, it has been confirmed.
As a group of local pisspots hit the pub this windy Saturday afternoon, a solid turn out from the first suggested kick-off was a good sign in the front bar of the Lord Betoota Hotel.
As the afternoon grows darks and the lads grow 4 of 5 schooners younger, the light-hearted but hurtful banter begins to flow gloriously.
However, this afternoon is a little different, as two of the most prolific real life trolls in the social circle have turned on each other, and it’s just so fucking good.
Dubbo (30) and Rhino (27) are both renowned for their acid-tongue chat, but it is not often that they aren’t complimenting one another. Today is different.
“Did you get dressed in the dark today, mate?” Rhino asks Dubbo, to a uproar from the unexpected by very excited witnesses.
“You look like a youth church leader with that cute little green button-up”
As the crowd roars, Dubbo’s eyes begin glinting with a malice.
“You can talk, you look like something I drew with my left hand, cunt”
Even the eavesdropping bartender is left in a state of hyperventilation as the entire pub witnesses a very rare clash of the titans.
“Yeah well you you look like something your mum should have wiped off with her left hand” Rhino responds, with a little bit more venom than everyone was expecting.
With the tone now set for an entire evening of severe roasting, the rest of the group are encouraging the hostility between the pair at any given opportunity.
“What do you reckon of Rhino’s new haircut” asks one of the boys, offering Dubbo an alley-oop. Dubbo goes for the throat.
“I reckon he looks like someone who’s missus left him for an NBL player” he spits, bringing it a bit of painful truth to the sparring session.
Rhino admits a temporary defeat and makes tracks for the bar, before coming back with eight Betoota Bitters for the table, with one that has been spiked with two shots of Absolut.
