TaiKai Sensei: Let's get it on!

"A long time ago, in a dusty office far, far away..." Taikai Sensei is throwing down his gauntlet (well, it's more of a little wooden stick) to all who think they know more about sport. Oh, and he's talking in a strange, croaky voice... (weirdo).

Interviewer: So, Mr...Sensei is it? - How should I refer to you?

Sensei: Taikai sensei, my name is.

Interviewer: Am I ok to call you Sensei then?

Sensei: No, refer to me as Taikai sensei, you should. Hmmmmmm.

Interviewer: Ok - Taikai Sensei. Where are you from? And, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Sensei: I have no fixed abode do I. Though born and raised on the planet of Taikai, I was. My age should concern you not - my knowledge and experience it is that should. Herh herh herh.

Interviewer: Could you give us a rough ball-park figure at least?

Sensei: Older than this world, am I. We saw 'Earth' created from 'Taikai' - sight to behold, it was.

Interviewer: Ok, so you've been around for a while then. What do you like to do in your spare time?

Sensei: Much time in my garden I spend, nice and healthy, making sure it is. To a Taikai betting tournament I also enjoy nothing more than challenging others I do.

Interviewer: Could you explain a little bit more about these 'Taikai Betting Tournaments' please? I have never heard of them before.

Sensei: Way of proving that you know the most about sports betting, Taikai betting tournaments are. Enter a tournament (either for free, a group of people will, or for a set stake), then be given $10,000 Taikai dollars to spend on the chosen events, each will. With the most Taikai dollars at the end wins the pot the competitor - simple!

Interviewer: Sounds pretty good - what you're saying is that you could start up a tournament with anyone - friends, colleagues, randoms, and then compete to see who can make the most Taikai dollars - whoever does can win themselves a nice tidy sum of money. How long have you been playing? Are you any good?

Sensei: Playing a long time I have. The best at Taikai I am

Interviewer: Right...so you rate yourself as a bit of a Taikai Master then do you?

Sensei: Taikai Master I am not. Taikai Sensei I am.

Interviewer: Any tips for those of us just getting familiar with Taikai then?

Sensei: To keep my tactics to myself, I like. Have to challenge me to see how I keep winning, you will.

Interviewer: Ok, so how does someone go about challenging you then?

Sensei: Enter the biggest tournaments I will. The Freerolls my favourite they are.

Interviewer: Great, well thanks for your time, and I better let you get back to your garden, and winning some more Taikai tournaments. Good luck.

Sensei: Luck plays not a part in my bets. All the information I need, have I. [cough, cough] - Look mate, I'm going to have to stop there, talking like this is hurting my voice... pub?

Interviewer: Pub.
