Seanachai Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Originally posted by Stuka: Yeah, reckon i'll scoot over to Dubai for the game, it's only just over a 1/2 hour flight.... No faggy armour and helmets on those modern day gladiators, no siree! You know, I've constantly seen comments like this from Euros and Failed Euros (like Aussies), for years. I don't follow Team Sports of any nation, myself, because for the last 20 years, at least, they're simply huge festivals to keep the poor and stupid oblivious to the fact that they should be awake, and asking their government a lot more questions. But I have noticed this: American Football players are beaten into human wrecks. Despite all the safety equipment, the rules, the sheer ARMOUR of their profession, most of them, if they play long enough, and many of them, who can't play for very long at all because of injury, hobble into old age like warriors crippled in battle. I don't see much sign of that in the various other 'World Sports'. I mean, they make a lot of noise about how 'they don't play with all that gear, they play like REAL men', but I don't see the same sort of...shall we call it 'Casualty Reporting' about all the rest of that lot. It's probably just a 'reportage' issue. I mean, we don't really follow the sports news of the rest of the world. So we don't hear about the injuries and cripplings occasioned by the various European inspired sports. I'm sure that if, in the Middle Ages, there was a large number of nations that foreswore heavy armour in favour of jousting in their underwear with peacock feathers, their neighbours that were still using lances, mauls and battle-axes would have been subjected to endless diatribes on the virility of people who weren't afraid to dance naked in dew circles. But I simply speculate. For myself, the obsession of you wankers with sports is a sign that you've given up on making the world any better place to be. I'm with you! Solidarity, brothers! I paddle, now. I don't care if the world spirals into such a tight circle of despair that, like the 'Nowhere Bird', it disappears up its own arsehole. Of course, I'm actually paddling. Most of you lot are just watching the telly. But I figure most of you do something to stay active. Posting, say. Or recycling the empties, maybe. Everyone knows that I'm an opinionated bastard, eh? But watching a sport you don't participate in is like taking pleasure in watching someone else masturbate. Interesting, and even relaxing, on occasion. But ultimately, just another afternoon with a box of kleenex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Originally posted by Seanachai: Especially since I'm more of a lyricist than a songwriter... What's the difference? A lyricist writes the words (That makes the whole world sing, yes, yes, yes, may you fry in hell Barry Manilow) while the composer pens the melody.

Boo Radley Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Originally posted by Speedy: Did I ever tell you I make kleenex? Fascinating. Moving right along, this reminded me of an episode of Rome: The Series that I watched a month or so ago. First season, I believe. In it, Caesar has stopped by Lucius Vorena's house and Niobe has offered him some water. Caesar drinks and then compliments Niobe on the water. Instead of just thanking her. I just thought it was a little odd, so I rewrote it in my mind. Caesar: "This is very good water. I compliment you on it." Niobe: "Thank you... I made it myself." Caesar (Does spit take) Have I mentioned that I could never write for a dramatic series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Caesar was just being polite you ninny.....he needed Vorenus' services, and was treating his family with unusual respect in order to gain trust , and appear to be a man of the people. Add to that the fact that the water was pretty horrible in that part of the city, and I'm sure that Caesar knew that, so he made Vorenus' wife feel at ease. Now that is what a script writer would think, and that's probably why they are on strike, because boobs like you think their job is a piece of cake. You dolt, don't you know anything!

Leeo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm feeling pissy. I'm going to have a drink. I'm going to drink, and go for a walk. I may fall down. I may merely stumble. But, a-walking and a-drinking (not necessarily in that order), I will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPeng Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Pity me. I am off to South Dakota for a week beginning very early Sunday morning.
