Saturday 31 July 2010: "Make way for the Dodster"

The title refers to the way George has taken to announcing his arrival anywhere. This is closely followed by him singing his theme song:

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a Dodster?
Yes it's a Dodster

His talent for self-promotion outstrips both his tennis skills, and his joke-telling ability.

George: What did the Cheese String say when it got a string pulled off?
Andy: Hmm. I bet it's something like 'ouch' George.
George: Yes. It is. It's 'ouch'.

Pause.

George: I've got another one. What did the Cheese String say when it got a string pulled off?
Andy: I don't know.
George: Same. Same thing again.

Actually, that one was quite funny, come to think about it. No idea why.

  2. Where would Blipfoto be without George? I'm sure his tennis skills will improve in time (and maybe also his jokes).

  3. I only now fully appreciate the privilege of shaking The Dodster's hand at the life.turns event. What a dude!

    (Andy Murray needs to watch his back. Or maybe his ankles.....)

  4. Good shot. He sounds like a character. Not the next Andy Murray then?

    ~ BernardPoet

  5. He is however, signicantly funnier than Andy Murray

    ~ Scobes

  6. a comedian that does tennis could be the new thing...

    thanks for the 600 congrats, much appreciated! and excitement is all around indeed, but my sources tell me there's some special blip-in-the-summertime excitement on the way... and it should be utterly splendid :-)

  7. haha :) my daugher precedes every joke with the words "knock knock!" (regardless of whether it is even a knock-knock joke).

  8. The second is a gem!

    ~ mr_chips

  9. I can just hear it:

    'Advantage - The Dodster'

    'The Dodster has two challenges remaining'

    'Game, set and match - The Dodster'

    His post-match press conferences can be filled with cheese string jokes and he'll have made his first million in weeks.

  10. cool blip! great action shot and colors

    ~ IngunnInOslo

  11. The Bob the builder folk asked the Automatic if they could turn that song in to "what's that coming over the hill it's Bob the builder, Bob the builder" but they refused as they didn't want fans singing it at them at gigs.
