Although those things have a few hundred pounds on me, due to my lack of working out, I am probably as spongy! :)

I've been at work all day (and yesterday) doing a major Exchange reorganisation - I've removed 30 and added in 49 SAN disks on four paths each, moved a dozen databases and I HATE IT because I'd like to watch the match! I won't get home until the second half.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

I actually thought about that, after the fact. They have not been able to find the back of the net much this season.

They have had a lot of draws. :(

it isn't like it is hockey or football or another REAL sport so your not missing out on much! :p

by jdclyde

I would say I would meet you to settle this face to face like a man, but we both know I would be the only one to show! :O

Here sy? Where sy? THERE sy! :D

jd, you being a Michigander, are you going to the Super Bowl? How close is the Land of Confusion to Detroit? I suppose only the well-connected have even a remote chance for going to the game. What's the average ticket price? About $1000?

by jdclyde

it is about a two hour ride normally to get to that area, but with all the roads closed and everything, I would bet it would take at least four to park.

no, no tickets for me. I don't watch sports much. would rather go play them myself than to sit around and get excited about watching a bunch of sweaty guys. sorry, just not a big turn on for me.

is that why neil hates football? It hides their "bulges"? :O ( oh that is just too funny!)

there are parties going on that are running about $1500 for the night. what are people thinking?

Don't even have a super bowl party to go to yet. my just roll down to Hooters for the game and get toasted watching the big american breasts! B-)

Y're quite right :), it's better to play then sit-down and watch sports in general. For instance I don't like boxing :( special the acting in a boxing match or any other sport where it is the utmost kick to knock your opponent down so hard he/she won't get up again. iirg!! (Or you must like the bloody stuff, hehehehe ]:) )
BTW you mean American-football/rugby and ice-hockey? He there y're right again, you don't miss much. ]:)
But if y're talking about what Germans say is fussball or the French le football or Spanish el f?tbol and the English football then you do miss something. It?s a great game even to watch and special the top teams in England, Spain or Italy. :)

Jaqui's oddities, you would have known about this last week.

So the rest of us knew you had been replaced for a while now! :D

by old guy

JD, it may have been BFilmman that posted it--not sure who it was but I saw it last week too.

by jdclyde

come to think of it, that does sound like "B".

Ok, I was MOSTLY correct. just because the poster was different is not a big deal really! :p

"Jellyfish have both male and female characteristics. A group releases sperm and eggs which mix in the water"

Did you have some work done that you're not telling us about?

by rob mekel

or the other one: spongymonsta ]:)

But jellimonsta is fine with me :D, do like that nic :)

What he objects to is that you call your game "Football" when the rest of the world has a completely different game in mind!

Really, I quite like [b]American[/b] Football so long as you cut out all of the breaks. The Superbowl is an absolute turnoff. A few years ago it used to be fashionable over here to have a Superbowl party but no-one ever managed to watch the game through to the end. It's quite funny (for a short while) watching our "experts" try and fill in the time while you are having yet more commercials but by the time it's 2am, someone has put on a video of Germany v England 2001 or the England v Australia Test 1981 at Headingley so we can have a proper cheer at a proper sport.

:^O England! Come on England!

Sorry, Jelli, couldn't resist.....you know how we Geordies are.....!!! :x

by jdclyde

for many at least. A superbowl party isn't about watching football, it is about having a party! duh!

I have gone to superbowl parties and not even know who is playing before I show up! (not that I admitted that to anyone there!) Then all I do is find out who everyone is cheering for and then I pick the other team. :p

A big part of the superbowl IS the comercial! they are usually very entertaining and better than many of the programs on. many are available on-line afterwards so I will try to post some links.

I also like to pay attention as I have an aunt that does the music for commercials and ususally three of them on during the superbowl, her and my uncles company did.

I haven't watched an entire football game in years except for the college football games I go to see (I get free Michican State tickets a few times a year through work).

Sports fan, I am not.

oh, and you used the wrong version of "come" at the end of your post! :O ]:) :D

by m_a_r_k

You're right, jd. Going to a Super Bowl party is not about watching the game. If you really want to watch the game, you stay home and watch it in peace and quiet. You don't watch much of the game at a SB party. Halftime either, for that matter. I missed the whole Janet Jackson exposing her breast episode. I didn't even know a thing about it until the next day. I guess everyone else at the party I was at missed it too, because nobody mentioned a thing about it.

I don't know why the creators of American football decided to name it "football". And I don't know how they tricked the original football guys in the U.S. into renaming their sport soccer. American football has about as much to do with your feet as basketball. My in depth research on wikipedia has yielded no clues to this mystery. Wikipedia has failed me for the first time in my life. However, said research has shown me that there ARE a few other sports that are called football, though. There's Australian Rules football and even a Gaelic football. So it's not just the Americans that stole the name. :)

where they invented Rugby Football.

I quote: "[American] Football historians, those who have studied the game and its origins, place the game?s beginnings in Rugby, an English game played with many similarities to football. Rugby began in eighteen twenty-three at the famous Rugby Boys? School in England."

It's actually very picturesque http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rugby_School_850.jpg
and when I'm done convincing you of the error of your ways, we can pop round to my Mum's for tea. She lives five minutes down the road.
