skybytch 273 #1 March 30, 2007 Assume that you have friends (I know it's a stretch, but work with me). Now assume many of those friends play a lot of soccer (that's what us Yanks call football). When they aren't playing soccer, they watch soccer, talk about soccer and post about soccer in a forum on a website devoted to soccer. You, on the other hand, can take soccer or leave it. You tried it once but decided it wasn't for you. You consider an obsession with soccer to be strange and more than a little sad. After all, it's just a SPORT. There's far more to life than soccer, and these people don't seem to get that. But you also post on the forums on the soccer website, and have made more posts on those forums than many of the soccer-obsessed people have. Who's stranger? Them for being obsessed with soccer or you for posting on the forums of a website that is devoted to soccer? edited because Ian is a poophead. A logical poophead, but still a poophead.

According to this, it is the ones that are obsessed that post to the soccer forum.... never says anything about the person that isn't obsessed posting to a soccer forum..... I don't think the un-obsessed person knows anything about soccer forums..... The premise of the question is without merit - go play some faggy soccer "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porpoishead 8 #18 March 30, 2007 there's some guys I know, that get dressed in midevil attire, armor and what not. every weekend they meet and beat the dogshit out of each other with swords, hammers, axes, etc. not sure what all that madness is called, renissance or something. well same here they call me all the time, and say come see, you'll love this shit, to them it's the be all that ends all in life, no point in living if youre not midevil, they even talk all good sir, chivalry. that shit is funny as all fukin hell to me, but I dont knock em, fuk it, different strokes for different folks you know. would never in a million years get on some midevil website and shoot the breezes with em, that would be strange. and I would probably die laughing, while they're all serious and shit, someone is bound to get bent out of shape in those situations, best to avoid.if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
