Inside the Apes Lair

Welcome to the portion of the site where we interview one of your favorite Apes and ask them a series of questions based on the questionnaire devised by the brilliant Champagne Charlie.

This weeks special ape is none other than Team Skipper:  Wil Block

CC:  What is your favorite word?

WB:  Automatic

CC:  That's an interesting choice...care to explain?

WB:  When I think to myself, will we beat CRUSH again this year, there is only one word that comes to mind...

CC:  What is your least favorite word?

WB:  Madhaus, Brighton, Debbas, 1-touch, but most of all....Debbas.  It is synonomous with riducule, underachievement (or should that be overachievement), and delusional behavior.

CC:  What turns you on?

WB:  You mean other than my wife?  (I'm supposed to say that right?).  

CC:  Level with us Wil, everyone says your wife, and quite honestly we respect that but we are trying to sell adverts with this program so work with us OK?

WB:  OK then.  Jessica Simpson, good attacking football, the scoreline at the end of every Apes vs Crush game, but most of all, Jessica Simpson.

CC:  What turns you off?

WB:  This is a joke question right?  I have the right mind to slap you silly Champagne Charlie.  The easy answer is the Welsh, but you are not easy Mr. Charlie, your wife is.  So my real answer is Big Dave from the Center City squad.  He constantly picks on people like Grimes who is half his size and all he ever does is talk.  I am an action man CC.  Talk is overrated.

CC: What noise or sound do you absolutely love?

WB:  There are so many... Do I have to pick just one?  I do enjoy the sound of a good coffee perculating on the stove, or the sound that the pajama crew makes when the squad runs on to the plastic pitch for the first time, but for me, the absolute best is the sound that the tin makes when Savvy opens the tiger balm for the first time before a big match.  It just doesn't get much better than that.....

CC: What noise or sound do you absolutely hate?

WB:  You mean other than the ranting of Davey Holmes after we've conceded a goal?  I've got to believe that everyone hates that sound.  

CC:  What profession, other than amateur footballer, would you like to try?

WB:  Some people say I have a head for numbers, so perhaps a career robbing banks would be nice.  Failing that I would like to work in a second hand furniture store....

CC:  What is required for membership in the Apes Drinking Club?

WB:  This is a question I am asked often and I am glad you brought it up Champagne Charlie... There are many attributes that a drinking Ape must have, and if you ask some of our members, money is not one of those attributes (see 210).  But most of all what I look for in a prospective Ape is the blind faith that alcohol consumption in mass quantities is directly proportion to quality of performance both on the pitch and in the bedroom....  where we sometimes play poker, playstation and wank around the rosey.

CC:  What profession, other than member of the Apes Drinking Club, would you absolutely not want to participate in?

WB:  Professional Uphill Gardening.  Does it need anymore %&*$! ing explanation?

CC:  What is your favorite curse word?

WB:  That one's easy.  Everybody knows that my absolute favorite curse word is, well I can't put it on a family site like this one, but let's say H-E-double hockey sticks. 

And oh, CUNT is pretty useful on occasion....

CC:  If heaven exists, what would you like "god" to say to you when you reach the pearly gates???

WB:  Took you a while to get here huh?  Well, if you agree to drive Bryan home this one last time, I will give you Thierry Henry if you give me Andy... Failing that, he would say "you were right all along, Santa Claus WAS a Palace Fan
