Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

Tha'ts a great point about all those cuisines. Talking about "Indian" food, really, is like talking about European food. As if German and Italian and Spanish cuisine are interchangeable.

 

I was singling out it’s common usage in American Football although interestingly the NFL rule book uses “offside”.

 

People who work generally do eat around 6PM.

 

I could see Rooney's pumpkin head being his genes, but him rocking "C cups" ain't all genetics.

Perhaps that's one reason why Rooney looks like a diabetic-in-training.

 

It’s etymology is that originally it referred to a single piece of meat in a pudding of some sort.

 

Why are you toadying up to "M"?

 

Those that work 'til 4:00/4:30, yeah.

 

Ignore list for you ************************...

Huh. Bigsoccer edits the word "moderR/ator" in a funny way.

 

You must live in a tough neighborhood!

 

Toad, toed or towed....just pick one and end it!

 

8-5 or 9-5 are standard first world business hours. Add in a short commute and you should be home in time to eat at 6 or so.

I know the kewl hip continental Euros who are actually in and from Europe dine later than they should (but they also let kids come home for lunch and miss instructional time). South Americans eat when they can.

 

..and the meal is just magically prepared when you arrive home? Yeah, you missed a major step on the process..

Anyway, tangential to my point, which is that a vacation in England always feels a bit rushed. Have to wrap up your daily activities by mid-afternoon if you want to chill. Dinner at 5:30, last call at the bar at 9:00. Sad.

 

Getting back to sports, Eat 'em up, Tigers!* Or, Bless You, Boys!**

*: That was the rallying cry of one James Van Horn, a homeless man who would be chanting that before Tigers games while also wearing Hulk hands. He was sadly killed in a hit and run years ago, but if you were attending Tigers games then, you saw him.

**: Uttered by a sportscaster as a sarcasm, took on a different meaning in 1984 when they last won the World Series.

 

No, one of the adults living in the house prepares the meal, or both do. Parents generally arrived home by 5PM or so, depended on whether they had a late class. Dinner was generally between 5:45 and 6:30. A fair number of my neighbors were engineers whose wives stayed home, so there was never an issue with someone having to

I'd be shocked to find out that London fit your description, but if it does, it does. They have more important things to do than cater to tourists.

Besides, if you're in Europe, see some games instead of drinking your time away. A drunken night life encounter can take place anywhere, but you can see Prem-level ball in only three countries.

 

Speaking of Euros' disgusting habits. This one could've munche'd it but went the nose route instead.
