that's pretty much my understanding of US football as well.
so true... and i find that description more interesting than the game itself
wanna know my understanding of soccer? Wandering the streets of London pushing aside drunken angry fans who are pissed off that
England lost to Argentina inthe world cup series.
because there's a special hatred of the "Argie bargies".
and it AAAALLLLLL goes back to that faulklands thing.

well, that about sounds right to me. the best bit about soccer is the sometimes-shirtlessness at the end of the game, IMO
yeah, that part can get pretty good actually
too bad about the fans, though
brits can hold a good long grudge. they're prolly still pissed at us for taking the colonies away

that, i believe
hell, i'd be happy to still be a british colony.
though I think I'd choose a better former british colony. mauritius maybe
oh, that sounds nice, though i know nothing of mauritius. sounds island-y

so... purdy...
*rapt*
i used to work with several mauritians. they made me homesick.

must. go. there. NOW would be good, but rather unlikely. still, one can dream.
i've wanted to go for a while. sit my fat ass on the beach and drink cocktails.

that would be THE BEST!
you need me - I could tidy up the beach for you??
you have to relax sometimes! sit down and have a cocktail.
you can tidy up in the morning when I'm passed out in my own vomit wrapped around the toilet with the cats staring at me.
I've cleaned up worse. It's a deal

this is beginning to sound a bit like a 'commune'...
internet foreverrrrrr!
ok, i'm commenting on the original link, and I'M the one who sounds off-topic.
but doesn't that always happen on our plurks?
never, ever wraps herself around the toilet when she vomits. it's so gross anyway, i can't bring myself to even touch the thing.
given the amount of alcohol i've consumed and the cities i've lived in, you get used to the gross factor and get over it for the most part.
unless it's that toilet in Trainspotting. that's just not right.
this just makes me wonder how bad steff's toilet is.
i mean... mine does get a scrubbing now and again.

care to weigh in on the topic steff?
it does not matter how clean the toilet is. just... no.
superpower-level control over her puke.

me too! well, i do now. it took years of practice but it has paid off. i have not puked in a very long time.
I'm just the opposite. I used to have super-power level control over my puking because I had a fear of puking.
then I spent the entire '90s drunk and puking and though, "eh, hell... that's not so bad". so now I just go ahead and get it out.

well, that is the other side of it. a good point, too. still, i just hate the feeling!
when i have to, it's pretty much going to happen... i just get to say when and where.
no need to hang out with my lip on the toilet rim. i'm going back to bed, thanks.
