Sportsfans,

I've been watching Baseball Olympics and I have some questions.

What is that black crap some players put under their eyes?
What is the black crap for?
What is the story with that cheesy electric organ music? Yikes!
Am I the only one who finds it horrific?

LOL ! No don't worry, most of the European use to mock this E.T.

sport.

Who the Hell decided that such an arcane sport would be in the

Olympics?

A rich American sponsor since they are the only ones interested...
Note that this is also the last team sport in which USA are performant

since

it is more and more difficult to cheat in basket-ball. ;-)
Next one will be "American football". :-(


After all, they may as well put cricket in there. At least Australia

would

win.

I guess that there are more people in the world who like to play

"french"

boules / pétanque.


I thought that the French national sport was 'chicken'.

**How short is the collective memory of Americans. Without the French, you
would still be a part of the British Empire.


All the French can do is live off the glories of over two centuries ago.
I wouldn't consider it exactly a short memory.










Now, now. Be fair, Clyde. What other country can advertise brand new rifles
for sale as "Never Fired. Only Dropped Once."

Despite all their efforts even the nazis didn't burn 150,000 civilians
in less 2 second.

Only because we had the better German scientists.

This is true but this doesn't change my point. :-(
