Olympics/Baseball questions
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? Who the Hell decided that such an arcane sport would be in the Olympics? After all, they may as well put cricket in there. At least Australia would win. On a related note: Are those women softball players typical American women? (YIKES!) BTW: I note that the Aussie women team (whose players, incidentally, actually looked like women) were the only team to score a solitary run against the Americans. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |

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. On a related note: Are those women softball players typical American women?

Very nice questions, Trevor, and with just the right amount of "needle" for our yank friends. Listening to that organ drivel I was reminded of the wonderful scene in "Slapshot" where Paul Newman roughs up an organist for playing "Lady of Spain", as of course any sane person would. I believe the Olympic Committee is looking to reduce the number of sports. If so they won't have to look far. Incidentally, what's with the hideous rock music during every tiny break in the beach volleyball? Come to think of it, what's beach volleyball doing in the Olympics anyway? |

Perhaps you spoke too soon. As I type I'm watching beach volleyball reruns on Telemundo and noticed an Aussie named Nicole Sanders. Hmmmm....very good figure and a face that looks like a cross between an elephant seal and a macaw!!! Is that typical of Aussie women, dear? Cheers, Margaret |

When I was an undergraduate at an all-male (at the time, it's since gone coed) liberal arts college , my fraternity used to periodicaly organize what were widely known as "pig parties". They involved a couple of key activities, in the following order: (1) Heavy consumption of beer, usually starting on a Saturday morning after a little breakfast. (2) Finding one of the few fraternity non-drinkers to put in a call to a women's junior college about 20 miles away known for its significantly ugly, not too bright, and horny women. The fraternity brother would literally say "We're having a pig party tonight, and you're all invited". (We had no shame and neither did the girls). (3) Much more drinking so that by the time the women arrived, such considerations as appearance were overlooked. (4) Hopefully, most of us got lucky (if drunk enough, or unluck if sober).  The names of the colleges are deleted to protect the innocent. Bruce J. Richman |

One bag, for her. Two bags. One for her and one for you, in case hers falls off. The Dingo. That's when you wake up the next morning and you find her sleeping on your arm.

The famed American comedian, Rodney Dangerfield (known for getting "no respect" and a number of funny movies - including "Back To School"), has a famous standup comedy routine. While talking about all his problems (part of his act), he says he was always got stuck with the ugly girls. Somebody in the audience asks, "How lucky were they, Rodney". He says the girls I took out were known as "2 baggers". One for the girl to put over head and one for my head, in case the bag over her head breaks". Another famous Dangerfield line: "I came home from work one day and there was a guy running nude in front of my house. I said 'why are you running around in front of my house naked? He said 'because you came home early!' Recommended Dangerfield albums - "The Loser" (in true Dangerfield fashion, the cover shows Rodney reading a newspaper at a bus stop while a dog urinates on his leg), and also, "No Respect".(a live night club version of his act - very funny stuff).

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. Not *all* the American collective memory Trevors... This concerns only xenophobes and hatemongers like Richman and Sackman. Interesting to note that we were joking about sport when Sackman brought the subject to the war and then Richman outbid in this nasty direction. Do you think it is a coincidence that today both are the most virulent on the subject ? I would have believe in a coincidence too if recently after I wrote him a simple "I don't like you" Richman haven't accused me of being a notorious anti-semite. Unfortunatly It seems that in their particular cases the reality is over the fiction. :-( |

I like 'em slim and slender. Not that there's anything wrong with that, note. Come to think of it, I better visit the farm and go riding before it gets too hot here...supposed to be a humid 96 degrees F (or 36 degrees C for you europeans) in here later on. Ouch! We're having a nice 23 C and a light breeze here. Perfect for a cappuccino outside, which we're about to do right now. The tulips are lovely, but how are the boys? You're asking a male to judge other blokes? To me, they're all ugly as hell. Why don't you come over and see for yourself? :-) Remember though, there's no "typical" Dutch boy or girl anymore. We're the melting pot of Europe these days. This has advantages, note. Like food and music. And lovely dark-haired beauties. I married a blonde, I'm an exception in my family. -- Sander deWaal "SOA of a KT88? Sufficient." |

Have you note how our Good Doctor love to stupidly recycle Middius' fantasies ? This is the obvious sign of a very strong character... :-) I am still waiting for proofs of courage from our 2 americans heros. To be so vehement about other people bravery they should have accomplished incredible exploits. Richman's last proof of courage was to "put" me in his killfile. Interesting behaviour from a psychologist, no ? |
