Seb Kemp, the “hypersonic converter of lesbians”, is on a hallucinatory tequilla tour in Mexico, but that doesn’t mean the New Zealand based League of Gentlemen race series is over…no…far from it.
Step up to the oche Graeme Cooper, Queenstowns friendliest courier driver, who will now pilot the League Of Gentlemen series…read on for all the info including dates and everything.
Official Press Release from the satellite office of the League of Gentlemen in Mexico
24/11/09
League of Gentlemen “not a race” race series in QUEENSTOWN NZ to continue under new management
Last year fun and games found a new name with creation of the League of Gentlemen Un-Race Series.
What started out as the drunken love child between a bottle of tequila mixed with an excessive amount of coffee and a poor use of foreign vocabulary, quickly turned into the second greatest race series in the world (and the Greatest race series in the lower Southern Lakes district).
With the series founder and cross eyed visionary, Seb Kemp, deciding to take his carnival on the road again and set his sights on on megalomanical domination of the mates race empire, starting with Mexico, people were curious as to what would happen to their beloved race series (we may of embellished their sentiment by adding the word beloved, or indeed their curiousity).
Well today the LoG are pleased to announce that Graeme Cooper, Queenstowns friendliest courier driver and owner of the worlds ugliest dirt jumper, will be taking hold of the helm and steering the good ship HMS Bi-Weekly Shit Show across this years calendar.
Already goody goody two shoes Graeme has the Leagues founder look like even more of a bumbling clown by actually announcing the dates and format for each race months ahead of them actually happening. what a teacher pets. i bet he loved getting extra homework and volunteered for being chalk board supply monitor.
Graeme said this “After Seb decided that he needed to go on a Peyote tour of Mexico to be able to hallucinate another twelve months of rambling bumbling Whistler Diaries columns for Dirt, it became obvious that this was a perfect oppurtunity to actually make something of the League Of Gentlemen Series. The format is unchanged: self timed, cheaters cheat themselves, fun and beer. However Ive added organisational skills, punctuality, logic and common sense. I would like to add that even though Seb Kemp is a pompous little ink blot, he is still a hypersonic converter of lesbians”
Anyway, here are all the dates. For more info look for the League of Gentlemen WasteBook page or look out for Graeme in his shiney yellow and red courier van (he will be the one wearing colour matched yellow and red running shoes, which he uses to run to the diary for an hourly pie and coke intake).
