Who gets the best deal? The 1972 Dolphins. They are still the only undefeated team, and their arch rivals are NOT their neighbors, it is still a very exclusive neighborhood. Biggest losers - the patsies. An undefeated season must be leaving a huge flavor in their mouthes, as they did not win the one game that counts. Biggest losers - the Giants. Coughlin is still their coach. Biggest losers - the 1972 Dolphins - Chris Berman can still target them for the champaign cork stupidity. I thought Gisele was so last millenium?

Your Football, our Soccer, has never really taken off here in the US, even with the introduction of Pele in the American Soccer League of the mid- 70s, and it has been relegated mostly to school sports. On a related note, I don't know if Cricket is played at all in the US, unless it is Cricket in Darts, which I am very familiar with and have a s**tload of trophies from when I hung around in pubs 10 years ago, and I was vice-president of a dart league.

Most of it is played in Pubs. My best games were after a couple of beers (more relaxed), but declined after that (more drunk). :-) Besides the accuracy of the throws, you have to have a very good grasp of math which comes into play before the second or third throws while you are standing at the line (hockey). I have a dart board in my basement, which I sometimes throw darts at while waiting for the computer to restart, but I don't really want to hang out in pubs anymore ( I used to have to drive 45 miles to get home) and there are no local pubs which play real darts (other than the electric soft tip darts).

The way that Soccer got introduced to Jamestown, North Dakota was the fall of the Shah of Iran, the Iran-Iraqi war, as well as the troubles in Lebanon. Well-to-do Iranians and Lebanese, as well as a few Palestinians got the hell out of the Mideast and ended up at Jamestown College. Where they cajoled a microbiology professor from India into starting a soccer team for them. This did not go at all well. A few days in the whole group had broken down into two opposing teams, these being Shiite and Sunni, and their feelings toward each other were not friendly. They decided that kicking at a opponent was even better than kicking at the ball, and in one of their first matches someone got kicked, drew a knife, and chased the person who kicked him down the field. After that they were searched for weapons before being allowed to play. Now these were _real_ Soccer rowdies. :-D They eventually moved on, but the game remained, and we now have quite a elaborate Soccer field right next to the college, bleachers and all. Another teacher from India wanted to start a cricket team with myself and my friends, assuring us: "The key point of the game isn't winning or losing...it's drinking while playing it."

Not by a long shot. The Distressed Gentlefolk's Wine Appreciation And Free-Thought Society was a group of old chums, much like P. G. Wodehouse's "Drones Club", or Arthur's "Round Table"... but neither expected the arrival of such a excellent and superb gentleman as Jeeves in the former, or Sir Lancelot in the latter. Thunderbolts struck then, and the very sky seemed to part with the propitious arrival of The Hero, ready to laugh and drink with the greatest legends of olde. Sing me a song of Sadu's arrival; fill it with friendship great, laughter full, and brotherhood like unto the heroic fallen that dwell in Valhalla. He was not only the greatest member of "The Club", he was the physical embodiment of a good time, and the very _idea_ of "The Club" made incarnate.You could sit around with Sadu and the cheapest bottle of booze in the world and have the best party of your entire life. Like Gandhi, there was a gigantic and majestic soul held in that small body, and it shown forth like the first sunbeam of a new-born summer day. Then he married. The rest shall not be spoken of. Whose soul the gods wish most surely dead, they first do tempt them to most surely wed. Chasing women is a lot of fun; actually catching one is fraught with perils undreamed of. Or, as W.C. Fields once said: "No man is truly complete until he's married...after that...he's finished." ;-) Pat >>> Another teacher from India wanted to start a cricket team with >>> myself and my friends, assuring us: "The key point of the game [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > such a excellent and superb gentleman as Jeeves in the former, or Sir > Lancelot in the latter. I must point out that Jeeves, being a valet (or, as he termed it "a gentleman's personal gentleman") would never have been allowed into the Drones Club and indeed Jeeves would have been offended at the mere suggestion that he enter the place.

He then probably immediately bathed and gave what he was wearing while he was "in _there_" to a clothing drive though. :-) I hate to admit this, but salamanders are actually quite interesting creatures and make fine pets that are easy to care for. One only has to remember to wash the poisonous slime they exude off of one's hands if they become agitated while handling them. I wish they'd shown more of the Junior Ganymede Club on the BBC series. Those were some hilarious shows. I'm pretty sure I dated Madeline Basset back in the late 1970s. In fact, I think I dated every one of those archetype women that showed up in the TV adaptations.

Why, what girl would want a mere box of chocolates when she could have such a stalwart guardian watching over her by night as she slept, assuring that the windows stayed closed, the doors locked, and that bounder Tuppy Glossop far away from her sweet bosom, like a rat held at bay from a piece of fine cheese. ;-) > >> One only has to remember to wash the poisonous slime they exude off of [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Madeline Basset scares me! :-D > She beat the hell out of that giant women's basketball player I dated; that was Honoria Glossop made manifest.

Guys, isn't there anyone here interested in REAL sports? Motor sports, especially air racing, are the most exciting sports around. Cars, boats, motorcycles, anything with an engine (including the occasional bathtub, bed or toilet) can race in some way. Cars are going well over 200 now and unlimited air racing posts speeds exceding 500 quite often. Easier on the pocketbook, too. Aside from the occasional one time race here and there, one week in Reno is the entire season (of course there is the growing popularity of the Red Bull aerobatic races, which can be really fun). Try it this year. You've got seven months to save up for it. Make your reservations plenty ahead of time, Reno, Sparks, etc. get completely booked for the September races. Don't forget to get your orange shirt from Section 5, but watch out for the watermellon, it's, uh, strong. The number and quality of air racing models has improved tenfold. From High Planes to Thrust Decals, there are scores of planes and color schemes. See you there?

BTW, Nader may try it again: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977249575 The favorite female intellectual of recent is one who has come up with what I call "reformed vegetarianism". She will eat animals up to the evolutionary level of fish, but terrestrial animals (birds and mammals) are out. I have no idea how she deals with frog legs; I imagine it depends if they are served in sauce of some sort. Terrapin soup presents another enigma. Pat |
