I was just on that effort when we were on the newbers thread.

But you should know that when you use UK terms, you are making some of the more well-respected posters think less of you. Just yesterday NotBob posted this on PB:
  • Their excessive use of Britishisms sometimes annoys me -- I really think that most of the time that they throw in "tyres" and "petrol" and "lorries" and "queue" just to appeal to Anglophiles here in the US.

Just saying, if you want friends in the heartland, you might want to stick to "glass of beer" and "soccer field".

"You can sleep when you are dead."

I've not seen this on TV, so it's difficult for me to tell whether this ad is a spoof or not. Either way, me likey.

So enjoy, and drink your damn coffee already.

I'm back on the market. Kind of. Maybe. I don't know. Who the fuck knows.

In any event, talk of facial scars and huge cocks would be welcome!!

There was a bit of a queue of punters at the pub, but the barman pulled me a pint from a keg fresh off the lorry.

When I was 15, I took a knee to the eye when diving for a loose ball in basketball practice that left me with 17 stitches over my right eye.

I also have a round scar on my nose from the chicken pox I had when I was 12.

You turned on yet?

Theory espoused by me: The ref was suspended in 2002 for suspicion of corruption. Italian soccer is rife with corruption. The world cup is in Germany, where corrupt soccer refs grow on trees.

That, or the guy had no clue. Unfortunately, the one good call took away what would have been (but for a fairly obvious offsides) a winning goal. Why don't they let the players decide it on the field, rather than calling bs offsides and such?

ETA: If half the Italian side knows he has a yellow, how can the ref not know too?
Watching the game with some friends in a bar off Times Square with a disappointingly large number of people wearing Italy jerseys but talking like Long Islanders. What would Anne Coulter say? Anyway, the loudest person in the place is my friend Brian* from Dublin (he has lived here for many years) who had his USA shirt on and was putting us all to shame in the (1) drinking and (2) vocal advocacy of the US team departments. After a while, most of the Italy supporters gravitate to the end of the bar farthest from us.

Then it looks like we've scored with nine men to make it 2-1, and we're all still jumping around when that prick of a ref comes on the screen to chalk it off. Brian screams at the "Italy" end of the bar: "YOU BOUGHT THE REF YOU CHEATING PRICKS" and the place goes a bit quiet.

But it was true, and they were all pussies anyway. Fuck Italy. The ref knew he had to kiss up to the Italians to get a Champions League assignment from UEFA and his performance was beyond incompetent. Watch now - we'll scrape a win against Ghana and Italy, cheating, diving bastards that they are, will knock the ball around with the Czechs because they know all they need is a draw to send them through. Fuckers.

*His real name.

Is Brian related to Mark Cuban?

Maybe pony can tell us how hockey has become and even better game with the introduction of the shoot-out to resolve regular-season ties.

I think a vacation to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls next month (I have a room booked ,o) ) will find you the scarring. And huge cockerels, some not even the roosters scratching in the dirt.

Like Mark Cuban he doesn't let rationality interfere with his support of his team -- which is a quality that creates that intangible thing called "atmosphere," sadly lacking at most sporting events. Cuban is a nutcase, which makes him a tremendous fan.

Which would you rather hear after your team takes a loss? "Well, I suppose the the referee really had no choice, it was an understandable call, I can see why he did it" or someone chanting "the ref's going home in a German ambulance"?
