Back in April we noted that there seemed to be a lot of "Thunderbirds are go" headlines for the Adelaide Thunderbirds (of the ANZ Cup).

Well it's been almost three months and the Thunderbirds will meet the Magic in the playoffs. Three months? No one will care if we use the same pun-headline, will they?

Thunderbirds are go for Magic clash [Stuff]

ps. yes in that photo they are about to smash heads together.

As you may know, the Dropkicks have a (hypocritical) hatred of poor puns in the media. Which is why I grimaced when I saw:

Thunderbirds were go against Steel

The reason for the grimace being that this is the fourth round of the ANZ Championship and we've had the following headlines for the Thunderbirds:

• Thunderbirds are go at home (a lead in to this weekend)
• Thunderbirds go as Fever fail to rise (a double entendre, so to speak, from Week 3)
• And yes, we used it too.

There were more on both TV and other media agencies but I couldn't be bothered looking.

Just quietly the Thunderbirds are 3-1 and have put away the Vixens and the Steel (losing to the Magic though).
