Local dad, Big John McMichael (55, Betoota City Limits) has today cracked.
He’s done what he never thought he’d do and picked up one of the controllers for his son’s PlayBox or whatever it’s bloody called.
Even the new announcements to role back COVID-19 social distancing measures by both the QLD, WA and NSW state governments have done little to excite Big John – who has no interest in having two people over for dinner. Or going to the park with his own family for a tea party.
What Big John needs in his life is that chance to get overly competitive and yell at someone. A void that has been left in his life by the cancellation of all live sport.
With the NRL, AFL, Cricket and all international sports on a hiatus – the non-elective surgery orderly is now at the bottom of the barrel.
At 9:45AM today, he’s conceded to the fact that his live-at-home adult sons might be onto something, and decided to learn how to play video games.
“Alright” he says.
“Show me how to use this bloody thing”
By 12:15 Big John was making a run to the servo for some Monster Energy drinks and Doritos, after being invited to join an exclusive COD regiment after impressing a South Korean teenager with his sharpshooting.
“Ok” he says.
“Couple more hours of this shit then you can show me the cowboy game” he tells his sons.
“Oi close the curtains. The glare is fucking up my scope”
