What's UPPPPP 2012

Oh hey again people! Remember potatoSLAM? We're back after a moderately long hiatus, but there's no need for us to apologise because we know you readers are awesome! :D (or maybe you just don't care...)

Now onto the first post for 2012! 

yep, 4 months into the year and we're just kickin' off! Nevertheless we're still more efficient than Kim Jong Un and the North Korean government.

Well if you remember the previous post I made, which was really quite recent like last year (More than just a sinking ship!), Titanic was awesome. More awesome now that there's a new 3D version of it this year! I mean, there ain't any better way to resell a blockbuster movie by making it freakin' realistic and superbly realtime. Now please follow (neither porn nor virus don't worry) the link below to enjoy the new Titanic 3D movie trailer, and enjoy the awesomeness of 3D experience with Jack and Rose!

Another movie being a definite must-watch for 2012 is The Avengers! For the simplest and clearest of reasons, I'll let the following pictures do the talking:

THORRRRRRRRR

CAPTAIN AMERICAAAAAAA

IRONMANNNNnnnnnn..... abs-less I'm sorry girls

LAST BUT NOT LEAST GUYS,

BLACK WIDOWWWWWW (...what? you wan't skinship? geez pervs)

Well as you can evidently see from these nice pictures, The Avengers is THE highlight for 2012-bound movies in my opinion. Sure, hypes and expectations have been brought down to earth for some highly-anticipated movies but regardless, no matter how inadvertently the director f*** this movie up, it's still going to be a better movie than Twilight, reasons of which are highlighted via the following link.

ON TO THE NEXT COLUMN, SPORTS!

obviously the 2 to be mentioned here are the London Olympics 2012 and EURO 2012!

London Olympics 2012

Credit to the British government for making this huge event being realized. If you readers can recall, the lead up to the voting of which country would host the 2012 Olympic Games was tainted with threats of terrorism and several attacks including the underground train bombing. This was a long time ago now, and in a few months time everyone in the world will be fixating their attention to the games, and most notably the opening ceremony which was mind-blowingly done by the Chinese during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

For us Malaysians, there are only two things to really look forward to:

NUMBER 1 - WILL DAVID BECKHAM MAKE THE CUT TO JOIN THE GREAT BRITAIN SOCCER TEAM

and he says : F*** yeah why not, I've made it to the cover of several men undergarment magazine covers, this is less than a piece of cake. 

NUMBER 2 - WILL NATIONAL HERO LEE CHONG WEI...

...muacks show me more love Malaysian girls!... angmoh girls also can lar!

...FINALLY BEAT THIS GAY FAG IN AN OLYMPIC FINAL?

THIS GAY FAG.

The painful defeat for Chong Wei four years ago at Beijing was definitely not a level playing field in my opinion. Lin Dan was pushed on by the whole nation of China while Chong Wei was alone in the arena, playing with immense pressure from back home to deliver the first ever Malaysian gold medal at the Olympics. This time, if they do meet in the final, I do fancy Chong Wei as they will be playing in the exact same arena whereby the Malaysian beat the Chinese in the All England finals in 2011.

Fingers crossed!

EURO 2012

Among all of the 5 potatoSLAMmers here, Roland and I will be the ones who will be most hyped about this. Seconded only to the World Cup, EURO 2012 pits the best footballing countries in Europe for a one shot opportunity at football glory. The usual heavyweights include the likes of Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Holland, Croatia and of course, England. 

Like many others, I'm a huge English Premier League fan, so is Roland. Thus I usually support England but when it comes to major international tournaments they are often shit. With Spain becoming my second favourite team, Roland and I were both in Perth watching the World Cup finals in 2010 when Spain beat Holland in overtime. I still remember the tension and extreme let off in emotions when Andres Iniesta scored the winning goal, what a moment!

With Argentina being part of South America, they won't be eligible to join the EUROs, so Lionel Messi will be out of the equation. This of course paves the way for Cristiano Ronaldo to be arguably the best player to be present in the competition. (since the whole footballing world always brings up the argument as to which of the two is the best player.)

THEREFORE, other than who is going to win the EUROs, there is only ONE notable question left to be answered!

WILL FERNANDO TORRES...

...SCORE FOR SPAIN?

he's been such a poor scoring form for Chelsea...

...missing literally every open goal available...

...was even an UNUSED sub in Chelsea's win over Barcelona recently.

SO...

let's just hope he even gets selected into the Spain squad before answering that question LOL.

Anyway it's going to be an awesome EURO 2012, my money is on Spain to win it!

WORLD'S END?

Lastly, the hottest topic of 2012 is definitely the "pending" 2012 Apocalypse which is "due" to boom our Earth into minced meat this coming December. If that really happens, most of the guys out there would sincerely hope for a zombie apocalypse.

The most discussed theory out there that led to this apocalypse thingy is the predictions made by the Mayans. Apparently their calendar at that time predicts the rise of the sun EVERY FREAKIN day. So what happened was when archaeologists found those "calendars", there was no more continuation of records from end of 2012 onwards. This made some come to the conclusion that after 2012 there's gonna be no Earth. ZOMG? 

so this is the Mayan calendar thingy. looks like a chocolate coin ay?

I've read at several websites that there are actually lots of people on Earth from various parts of the globe taking this extremely seriously. At certain parts of the globe, underground bunkers have been built to prepare for such an apocalypse. Women are afraid to get pregnant as they are worried that their child has no Earth future to look or even live for. 

I'm not disrespecting the Mayans or anything, but scientifically speaking this is just crap isn't it? For the calendar argument, who knows maybe the dude who was responsible for the calendar got stroke down with diarrhea that day or maybe the continuation of the calendar was eaten up by a teddy bear. And hell perhaps the dude was noting down the continuation of the calendar until a naked Mayan chick seduced him and thus causing distraction or something. Just sayin'.

Having said all these, I do hope I won't be forced to eat my words this coming December. Even if I do, like I said previously, the apocalypse which I won't mind having is: 

whereby shooting is legal and there's no science and engineering to worry about.

and shit that Barrack Obama would do...

reason em well Barrack! make it a tax free country.

and to hell with the upcoming new Resident Evil 6 movie and game...

we'd love experience real time zombie shit.

Anyway that's that for the first potatoSLAM post for 2012! It's getting shitass cold here in Perth so right now I'm gonna grab myself a hot cookie and indulge myself in some relaxation.

Gotta enjoy ourselves while we can aight, who knows Mr. Apocalypse does come knocking at our front door? O'hai pizza delivery! 

Till then, may the force, whereby f = ma, be with everyone!

Tchao! 

Signing out,

Chris.
