It is the right of every person to follow their dreams – no matter where it might take them.
Sadly, Marcus Meridius’ dreams have taken him to the nation’s most overrated, expensive and boring hellscape.
Sydney.
Fresh from their victory last night in year’s State of Origin series, many New South Welshfolk have their tales up this morning and some are even taking the opportunity to rub the victory in.
At his boutique media agency this morning, the 26-year-old Meridius was greeted by his office deskmate choking himself with his own weak little hand.
“This is what Queensland did last night,” said Ralph Piper seconds before taking himself by the throat.
“They choked worse than the fucking Dragons have ever. They got caught cheating and were punished accordingly. Straight out of Wayne Bennett’s playbook.”
Marcus smiled and said it was a good game but Ralph hadn’t finished.
“Let me guess? You’re going to blame Ben Hunt and ask that he be banned from reentering Queensland forever? Typical Queenslander turning on his own kind. We stuck by Mitchell Pearce for years!”
Ralph then resumed choking himself while the rest of the office looked on.
“This is what you look like!” he spluttered.
The Sydneysider then proceeded to choke himself even harder.
This went on for a number of minutes until everybody else in the office went back to work.
More to come.
