What grinds your gears?

[moon_lit_tears]

I saw something similar go down (pun intended) during the third Harry Potter movie.

 

LOL Where you at the same theater as me?

 

By that time we we doing it every week... They put us on a team with a kid we hated and his first grade brother so our team sucked, and he would try to give us motivational speeches and such. The week we got kicked out we were intentionally bowling gutter balls to piss him off.

 

You are an evil man..who grew from an evil boy!!!

 

Considering all those Olympic Medal counts, Id say we didnt have to invent anything.

 

Except Cyborg Swimmers.

LOL

 

Baseball's pretty popular internationally, actually. It's big throughout Latin America and Japan. Just because something isn't popular in Europe doesn't mean it isn't popular elsewhere.

 

Most of Baseballs better players are from Japan or South America.

 

 

So we'd be good at something? How many Olympic Medals did England win in the last Summer Games? I think Michael Phelps beat your whole country. And we won first dibs on naming sports in the War of 1812. Hence, 90 minute draw football became soccer.

 

Michael Phelps is from my home state!! So I love this quote <3 and you for saying it.

 

Yeah, we screwed over Native Americans a couple times...

 

How many people had their "human rights" violated by the British, the Native Americans included?

 

*sigh* Being part Native American I am torn.

 

I loved that part, there was something about cheerfully telling a d-bag that their problem won't be solved, too bad, that I loved. The angrier they got, the funnier it was.

 

Weather you are the manager or not it's always fun to tell them that.

 

Working in a hotel as a maid has to be the worst. When there is NO sign on the door to tell the maid you don't want them to clean your room.. I knock. No answer. I go in there the guys sitting on the bed watching a porno. Nasty ass. Just tell me to leave the stuff at the door and I will. A-hole.

 

If you don't drink while playing soccer, you're not doing in right:p

 

I don't mind calling it soccer, its commonly referred to as both here, because people also refer to gaelic football as football. Being a fan of the NFL, my three favourite sports are all called football:p

 

I like you!

Damn, that was you?

 

Sorry!

Just putting my two cents on the whole soccer/football debate. I am a huge fan of the sport and have been playing for something like 13 years, so my opinion is going to be biased. Having said that, any sport were the most commonly used appendage is a foot, should be called football. So not American Football, and possibly not Australian Rules anymore (but then what could you possibly call it?) and definately not Rugby (although Johnny Wilkinson seems to take the name pretty literally).

 

Also the word Soccer is the traditional name for, well, Soccer and was coined by the English when the sport was invented. It had something to do with it being the Associated brand of football. As in Asociation. i can't remember where the er at the end came for though. Something about slang i think.

 

Again though, these are just my, probably a little biased, opinions. Take whatever you want out of them.

[fatallylost]

Yeah seriously, that's gross. Everyone knows head is the limit in movie theatres.

 

Not if you go to the right theaters

 

That reminds me, I go to Starbucks a lot, and I've seen this. Funny as hell, but if I worked there it would grind my gears:

 

Women who come in and order, and while they're waiting, they keep looking at their watch. Then they say "Can you hurry? I'm already late!"

 

Well, if you're already late, maybe you should have NOT stopped at Starbucks. Plan accordingly.

 

Yeah, same thing happens in retail on Black Friday. Hey, guess what? You know how you slept in line for three days, so you could get $50 off that laptop? So did 200 others. You might have seen them.

 

I've been bowling in a league for 6 years now.

 

Two nights a week and my averages are 127, 136 I don't do so well.

 

My highest game ever is a 235.

 

I bowled in a league last summer, mostly cause it ended with us going to Vegas. I've broken 200 twice, my highest, I think was like 215 or right about that. I tend to average about 150 or so.

 

Also just on the soccer/football thing:

 

America; remember the last time the ENTIRE world told you were wrong about something and you didn't listen? Football is the same deal lol.

 

Guess what? Your troops were right there with us buddy boy.

 

We were fouth, and we have the same landmass as half of Nevada. And we have around 70% less people than America does.

 

And The War of 1812? The one where you fighted so that the Native American's wouldn't get their own independent state in Ohio and Indiana? I think you destroyed enough human rights in that war to disallow any rights you earned towards calling football 'soccer'.

 

Plus, Europe as a whole (Rougly the same size as America) beat you in the medal rankings by a huge margin.

 

Wait.... fighted?

 

Also, remember, we, came from England. So, technically, the English screwed the Native American tribes. Literally, and figuratively.

[TheEdgeOfReason]

Guess what? Your troops were right there with us buddy boy.

 

Actually Irish troops only work humanitarian missions unless they are working for the UN/EU.

[AfRoMaN36]

That is one of the main reason why I hated dealing with the public. The customer is always right way of thinking. I think 9 times out of ten the customer is probably wrong. In fact I believe that the customers start crap with people who work in the service industry just because they can. They have had a crappy day so why not take it out on others who they know can't really defend themselves.

 

Oh and Afroman, you sound like a cool manager. I wish I would have had a manager to back me up, when a customer has been a jerk to me.

 

This. Except they can't.

 

F*** with my own and you'll get decaf for the rest of your life.

[fatallylost]

My bad, had so much to quote, I didn't realize who had posted that one.

 

I just find it funny when Brits talk about Americans and what they did to the natives.

 

Also, my people (The Vikings) were here before them pansy Brits anyway.

[The Celt]

Lol, correct. Ireland is a strictly neutral country, just like Switzerland. As a nation we're pretty sick of war.

 

That's kinda funny actually, someone thinking they had more allies then they actually had.

 

Fatallylost did you think Ireland sent an army or that we're linked to the British army or something? Just curious here.

[moon_lit_tears]

Damn, that was you?

 

Sorry!

 

 

So you are a huge hairy ugly beat of a man?

 

BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHA No comment on that one.

STFU!

Word!. Here they do all kinds of crazy crap in the theaters.

 

I bowl for fun, and drinks.

 

I have some distant family in the Aberdeen Scotland area. I intend to meet up with one of these days.

 

Scottish/Irish blood in my veins. GOTTA LOVE GETTING DRUNK THAT WAY!!!

 

Also, my people (The Vikings) were here before them pansy Brits anyway.

 

Aha! I am going to tell you something that got me kicked out of sunday school when I was younger.

 

I want a Viking funeral when I pass on.

No no, I had assumed you were one of the Brits. Since I had quoted so many names, they all blended together.

I used to say that as well. I'm not all "Vikinged Out" or anything, but, I figured it would be my only chance into Valhalla.

I am fascinate with all sorts of different things. (I don't want to get into this right here. If you are curious send me a PM)

 

I once knew a guy who was really into the Viking traditions and we talked about a lot of them.

 

I love learning about others cultures.

[fatallylost]

One thing I really want is a Norse tattoo.. only problem? Everything decent is massively intricate. So, either it'd have to be bigger than I am really looking for, or, look like crap.

BWA-HAHAHA I have something to say, but I am going to be nice.

[BHK1978]

Most of Baseballs better players are from Japan or South America.

 

Sorry that is simply not ture, you are right on the South America part but besides Ichiro Suzuki, I think that you would be hard pressed to find another great Japanese baseball player.

 

Also, remember, we, came from England. So, technically, the English screwed the Native American tribes. Literally, and figuratively.

 

Was it not the English who gave the Indians smallpox infected blankets?

[The Final Countdown]

Sorry that is simply not ture, you are right on the South America part but besides Ichiro Suzuki, I think that you would be hard pressed to find another great Japanese baseball player.

Matsui is the reigning World Series MVP, isn't he? He may not be one of the very best, but he's pretty darn good. But yeah, there are definitely more great players from South America than Japan. South America may even have the US beat.

[fatallylost]

Maybe Japan is too specific, but, I always hear about Japanese players, no as many Korean, Chinese, etc.

 

Ichiro Suzuki - Seattle Mariners (2001–present)

Hideki Matsui - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2010–present)

Kazuo Matsui - Houston Astros (2008–present)

Takashi Saito - Atlanta Braves (2010–present)

Akinori Iwamura - Pittsburgh Pirates (2010–present)

Hideki Okajima - Boston Red Sox (2007–present)

Daisuke Matsuzaka - Boston Red Sox (2007–present)

Kosuke Fukudome - Chicago Cubs (2008–present)

Hiroki Kuroda - Los Angeles Dodgers (2008–present)

Koji Uehara - Baltimore Orioles (2009–present)

Kenshin Kawakami - Atlanta Braves (2009–present)

Junichi Tazawa - Boston Red Sox (2009–present)

Hisanori Takahashi - New York Mets (2010–present)

Ryota Igarashi - New York Mets (2010–present)

Sounds like the women who find me interesting.

[BHK1978]

My point being why not make a list of the great American players in the game, it will dwarf any Japanese list anybody could possibly come up with.

[BurningHamster]

Also, my people (The Vikings) were here before them pansy Brits anyway.

 

Hold up, if the Brits are pansies why are people always complaining about them violating human rights and being bullies?

[Stennick]

The Brits haven't been bullies in just under two hundred years that I'm aware of.

[moon_lit_tears]

 

Sounds like the women who find me interesting.

 

 

*sigh* When will men (and women) stop hurting each other.

 

News flash, hardly anyone looks like the super models you see on TV some of us like to eat more than once a month.

[Stennick]

Its all in good fun its just joking around and there is a difference between eating once a month and going all Jamarcuss Russell on a guy.

[moon_lit_tears]

Yeah. It is joking to a point.

 

I agree there are people who take it to the extreme, but..actually nevermind it's not worth it anyway.

[shamelessposer]

The Brits haven't been bullies in just under two hundred years that I'm aware of.

 

India and some gigantic chunks of Africa would disagree. British colonialism wasn't really brought to an end until... 1965? -ish? At the earliest.
