Lot of new sigs today. I think work must be as boring as cricket.

Football goals are special because they don't come often and when they do they come with a bang. There's a naughty joke somewhere in that.

Guess what? No one cares if the ball never gets to them. Everyone can run their asses off up and down field, but if the ball it clogged in the middle the whole game, no ones gonna go, "Man what a crazy pace!"

I've watched a few matches on TV before and it can be fun though I thought it was dreadfully boring to play (softball seems much funner in that vein, in my opinion).

That said, it would be great to get some Aussie Rules football and Rugby league action on TV. I would think this is perfect late-night fare for one of the ESPNs. Heck, I'd even keep the local announcers and everything. Better than much of the junk that's on.

Aussie rules football is insane to watch.


I remember I was at some restaurant and the bar had a match on and everytime I glanced over someone was celebrating a score.

Hm. It seems the technicians must have messed up when upgrading the funniness.

You should know, I don't bleed.

I do bruise easy however. I've still got a nasty one from when I fell off my trike two weeks ago.

At 15 posts per day, that's 23 days. I usually don't post much if at all on weekends, and I don't work Wednesdays, so you have to count those out too. We'll see.
