Hang Out and Post

[Seliphra]

I DO know what I had...That's what makes it so tough...everlasting apple, a couple PB's, codestones faeries books...oh and a bunch of retired items D:

[Spritzie]

I never used my sides much. I mainly had pets and petpets. (I did have some nice expensive petpets.)

[CAV of Gang Green]

Gotta dig up old stuff. :P

 

Even though I absolutley hate your team's quarterback... xD

 

Oh shaddup.

 

Blek :sick01: can we not talk about football again for a while, at least until next weekend when the games are on again, pretty please :whistle:

 

Sorry Wemblin. But if we want to talk about football, we'll talk about football. :evil:

[Seliphra]

TOPIC GOT CHANGED!!! *cries*

I thought there was a sports thread for football talk?

I like the sport and all, but the CFL and NFL have different rules...

[CAV of Gang Green]

Yes there is, but it's constantly dying.

 

And what's wrong with it going here. There have been several discussions that could've gone to their own topic. :P

 

Maybe I'm just looking too far into this.

 

And I was only responding to those two statements.

[Seliphra]

xD

Incidentally I also like most sports...except basketball...mainly because no one else in my family watched it when I was younger...

[Wembly]

There is technically nothing wrong with talking about sports in here but I personally don't enjoy football in the least so I will do my darndest to change the subject again :evil: though admittedly I will admit defeat when the games are going on but I'm just trying for a couple days here...

 

so...going for the gross factor, I dislocated my jaw yesterday while puking, how's that for a subject change :sick01:

[Seliphra]

D:

Feel better soon!

 

 

Here's some words so my post is long enough...

[antiaircraft]

Ouch. x_x I hope you're feeling all right. A dislocated jaw is possibly one of the most annoying things on the planet...

 

If only people did that with Mario Kart. Or Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Or Modern Warfare 2, wait....THEY DO!

Fellow e-sports fan? b)

 

Korea's National Sport = StarCraft. :P

[-Ryan]

@CAV

Michael Vick was in the dog fighting thing. He's an amazing quarter back but that dosen't mean i'm gonna like him. -shrug-

[Spritzie]

Like Wembly said, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a harder subject for a lot of people to get into. And your sports thread. It wouldn't be dying if you took your football conversation there. It'd be getting tons of posts. :P

 

But anyway, I'm sorry about your jaw :( My back is out currently. I feel easily twice my age some days after work. On Monday, I came home whining that my shoulder, lower back, wrist, hip, knee and ankle (all on the left side) hurt. :laughingsmiley:

[CAV of Gang Green]

Same. I hate basketball. I enjoy playing it, but I'd never sit down to watch it.

 

so...going for the gross factor, I dislocated my jaw yesterday while puking, how's that for a subject change :sick01:

 

..........Ew........and sorry.

 

I don't really want the topic to be broken things and puking. Seeing how I haven't puked in 4 years and I've only broken a bone once.

 

Korea's National Sport = StarCraft. :P

 

I figured the national sport would've been baseball, seeing how you guys are awesome at the sport.

 

@CAV

I didn't say anything about Vick....:/

Well, how do you think I feel when the discussion is scallops or high school problems or college? I can't get into the conversation at all. It's impossible. And then I feel left out, I leave the place for DS or to play games, and then when I come back I end up noticing that somebody replied to a PM hours ago, and then it turns out they are offline and I can't talk to them.

 

That's honestly the biggest problem about being a guy on TDN. You girls claim it's hard to get into a topic about games or sports, but there are several more topics that I can't talk about because I'm a guy. Most topics are harder to get into, and then when we finally do get a topic to get into, somebody bursts in and says it's not a good one, then changes the topic and I got nothing to say about it. :P

 

And notice how the person that is usually the last to post there is me. Since I cannot double post, and nobody else takes an interest in the topic, it slowly dies. Come to think of it, most topics die after I'm the last to post in them.......

[Spritzie]

I can't really discuss scallops, high school or college either. :P

 

I can talk sports, just not football. I know nothing about it. I'm at least semi-knowledgeable about basketball and baseball because I used to play those for teams when I was younger.

[CAV of Gang Green]

And I know nothing about basketball, scallops, puking, or dislocating bones.

 

There are certain topics that certain people can't get into all the time. And that happens far too many times to me because say what you want, but us guys are outnumbered. :P When I try to change the topic, it tends to be ignored and tossed aside, and you continue with the conversation about high school problems. :P

[Sofa]

I know nothing about baseball, basketball or American football because they don't really exist here. I only know that American football looks like a messed up version of rugby and baseball looks like rounders on steroids.

We'll be ok when the Olympics are on in 2012 because pretty much everyone will have their country being represented, assuming it's not just me that bothers to watch the good stuff from athletics...

[Spritzie]

I think I've watched the Olympics one. Maybe twice. Otherwise I just read the news updates on them.

[CAV of Gang Green]

The only Olympics' I ever watched was 2008 and 2010, mostly because only now that I'm older can I appriciate other sports. When I was younger it was all baseball and nothing else.

American Football is similar to rugby.

 

And baseball is my favorite sport, and it's great. But you have those few people that take steriods and mess it up for everyone else.

 

 

 

Must I say any more?

[Spritzie]

I miss getting to play softball. I absolutely loved it. But I played before middle school.

[Sofa]

Have just been trying to look up what the differences between softball, baseball & rounders are. Brain implosion.

I don't get why sports people take performance enhancing drugs, it ruins it for everyone, and the whole point of these sorts of activities is to push people to the limit & see what the human body is capable of naturally, not to see what chemicals can make us do *sigh*. I guess the pressure to perform well must be tough though.

[Spritzie]

The rules are a tiny bit different. Generally (not always) softball is more for females. The ball is larger and "softer". (Softer being relative. I got hit in the collarbone with one once. It hurt and I had bruise with the stitching from the ball.) Also I believe softball is pitched under-hand, instead of over-hand. And there's also slow-pitch and fast-pitch. I played fast pitch.

[Sofa]

That makes a bit more sense, sort of. I guess I don't really need to worry about it unless they try and migrate across the Atlantic :)

[Wembly]

Haha, I just imagined fleets of little softballs migrating across the ocean like pods of whales.

[Sofa]

That would be quite fun...the bats could all grow wings and try to fly across as well.

People take drugs because they want to be a better player or to be famous or to break a record. And the better the player, the more money an organization will pay to have them on the team. In the end, it all comes back to wanting more money, like everything in the world.

 

 

Barry Bonds took steriods because he wanted to beat Hank Aaron's career home run record (715), and he did it. And even though he beat the record with steroids and everybody knows this, the record still stands. Personally, I think Bonds should have the record taken away from him, and given back to Aaron, someone whom worked hard to get the record.

 

 

Alex Rodriguez took steroids when he was on the Texas Rangers to become a better player, hence get more money. He holds the record for the largest sports contract in the history of sports, where the Yankees paid 275,000,000 USD (171.681858 million British pounds) for a 10 year contract.

[Sofa]

Wow, I would've thought that if you only got the record title by cheating they'd take it off you again. Seems rather unfair. I'm sure I've heard of record titles being taken back because of cheating in other sports.
