they kick a ball about and someone tries to get it in a net.

I work with people whose lives revolve around this pointless shit.

People who get themselves saddened at the national game are not good examples for the youth of tomorrow.

But SURELY you can't agree with these footballers putting themselves out as celebrities.

( Major Turd for tonight only, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 15:18, archived)

Celebrity is a mark bestowed upon a person by women's magazines and daytime television.
I personally blame fat culture.

Usually on average around 4 stone lighter.

Are footballers allowed to shout at players on the telly?

Shocking turn of events from the Spangolin camp.

Really overhyped.
Just an old guy bumbling around. Acting was stilted and awkward. Thumbs down, in the Spango Camp. And it's a very camp Camp.

I have to support the flame-haired sex pixie, here
I heard the hype, I was looking forward to seeing it, and it disappointed. Just like Seinfeld ten years before it. And Family Guy.

Also, when I say flame-haired sex pixie I'm referring to Spangolin, and not encouraging that minx Red Rocket to set himself alight.

only tried it for 2 weeks
then i saw the leroy jenkins video for warcraft and thought nahhh not a game for me.

I like the cartoonyness of WoW. And find LoTR really Lore-heavy.

The view is also offensive on the other side.
How's a 18 stone man going to be able to knock a cross-field pass whilst sat and wedged into a creaking office chair, ramming a third helping of Chips into his mouth?
Whilst nursing a semi for some elf in a skirt?

maybe not,
but he can get upset about points and goal averages and relegations and whatnot.
That's what I don't get. I can understand someone enjoying watching a good game, and playing one even more so. But these people with heads full of statistics...

Get yourself in a good raiding guild
It will only take around 40 hours a week, plus 20 hours grinding time for the next few months

40? HOURS?? A??? WEEK????
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Tell me about it
It gets bad when you go to see a friend and all you can hear is AOE attacks all evening. It's worse when you know what those attacks are because you used to play the game yourself.
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 15:39, archived)

I'm in a raiding group as a casual member
which is nice as I can see end-game stuff without having to grind for hours a week or get stressed about progress, just turn up and have fun.

There's probably a website out there that'd do it for him.
But before you hit "calculate" you have to snort and nudge your spectacles back up to the bridge of your nose. OR IT WON'T WORK!

I make programming-based jokes before EVERY hit.
