We've got artists, scientists, scholars, pranksters, publishers, songwriters, and political activists.  We've subjected Discordia to scrutiny, torn it apart, and put it back together. We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

...The US isn't bitching about losing to Qatar.

Meh, its just soccer, not like its actually a major sport or anything...  :lulz:



:crankey:

What? Americans generally conquer that sport by age 12 and then move on to real sports.

:lulz:

Soccer is daycare in the US, you only get good at it if your parents are obnoxious and have money. Basketball is our equivalent to footie in other countries...it's the "poor man's" sport of America.  I was given a basketball for Christmas and sent outside to shoot hoops with the neighborhood kids instead of given a soccer ball and running down the street after it with my friends. It's just a cultural barrier that developed thanks to oceans.

I still can't play basketball for shit.  :oops:

That's odd... My parents would give me something they called a "book" and told me to sit quietly in the living room.

Mine put me in front of TV and told me if I didn't shut up I could go clean my brothers' room.  :lol:

I got those occasionally, but the best year was when we got the rollerblades...Rollerblading AND basketball?! YES. It was like hockey in a tennis court with a ball too big to really effectively maneuver with hockey sticks... And then people ask why my front teeth are fake.

And because of all this Suu became a TKD champ, LMNO became a white-collar nerd, RWHN became punmeister, and Jenne.... Married a terrorist.

Yeah, but does he wash his hands properly BEFORE and AFTER he has patient contact.  My hand-washing webinar today informed me that if you don't you are a cold, heartless biological terrorist and should be shunned by society.

Actually, my failure at basketball lead me to play volleyball. Apparently if you can bump/serve a basketball and not break your wrists, this is impressive or something.  :?

The skin on his hands is like a crocodile's.  I think that gel stuff became popular amongst the hospital and clinic types because it's not as harsh as water + soap, 60+ times a day.

I'm just pissed that now I have to go to Russia to see a World Cup game. They better be playing in either Tyumen or Sochi, because I'll be damned if I have to shell out a zillion rubles for a hotel room.
