  1. Rare is the internet acronym I'm not familiar with, but I have to admit I had to look that one up.
  2. My plan: Chop everybody's lower legs off right now and replace them with robot parts. Should save us some time and trouble.
  3. You know, people say that. But what makes sex appeal inherently less valuable than other attributes? Is it because it is largely genetic? Or is there some other factor at play? Is there a perception that looks do not need to be worked at in order to maintain, and are therefore not a respectible metric of worth? A successful businesswoman would (you would think) have achieved her success by some combination of brains, cunning, social skills, and so on. But surely these qualities have some genetic basis as well, and are therefore theoretically just as out of that woman's control as her looks. It's a complicated issue, but at times I think it's a little unfair on good-looking women that one of their prime strengths as individuals is seen by the politically correct (or feminists, or what-have-you) as not worthy of the same respect given to more "gender-neutral" characteristics. As far as lingerie football goes, it's called LINGERIE football because the main point of it is not only footballing ability. There is an extra component that does not otherwise exist in the game of football. Is this component inherently of less value? I would argue that it is not. If there were a WNFL, I imagine footballing ability would be far more highly valued than looks. But there isn't, so the criteria for selection are different. Looks play a more important part in selection. Is that so wrong?
  4. A merger between the Melbourne Demons and the Western Bulldogs in which both teams' lists are combined would make for a pretty good side. Of course the obvious name for such a team would be the Melbourne.......Demons. The jumper would look a little like this:
  5. The best thing about being anonymous is that no-one can call you on your bullshite.
  6. That training guernsey really is out of this world.
  7. Unprofessional...
  8. In fifty years, I'll still have forty years left.
  9. The moment people start dying in the name of the AFL, then I'll join your side. Until then, why not let 'em discover how great our game is?
  10. How committed do you really have to be to not go out and get [censored] on a Saturday night? People have been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years.
  11. What internet browser do you use? http://safariaddons.com/en-US/safari/addon/130 should work for Safari https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-youtube/ should work for Firefox http://www.chromeextensions.org/music-videos-photos/youtube-downloader/#.Us_fUceqphE should work for Google Chrome.
  12. I've come to accept it as just one of the noises of the game, along with the sound of the ball hitting the players' racquets and the screeching of shoe-on-court.
  13. Decimate actually refers to destroying precisely one-tenth of something, so as long as he's getting it wrong he might as well get it really wrong.
  14. Kudos if you read all that. I certainly couldn't bring myself to do it.
  15. Perhaps that's the kind of scarring they have--they BELIEVE they're not AFL standard, when in fact they are. Also, here's the link to the Herald Sun article: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/new-demon-daniel-cross-tells-of-pain-of-leaving-western-bulldogs-excited-by-new-challenge/story-fni5f91a-1226776074295 One quote from Matty Boyd Daniel Cross brought up some dark flashbacks though: "Roosy's really big on being hard around the footy and hard to play against."
  16. Beginning this year, I did one minute of meditation on January 1, two minutes on January 2, and so on all the way up until I got to an hour and a half every day. That was my goal, and I found that it didn't particularly help me all that much. I feel like I'm fairly level-headed anyway, so perhaps the scope for improvement wasn't that large. I suggest you try it out in the manner I did, and stop (or not) when you feel like you know one way or the other whether it works for you. The time investment of doing it that way isn't very large, but you still get into a progressively more significant routine every day.
  17. While I agree with you generally, I'd like to know what you think of PhDs in subjects like Theology.
  18. He'll be back.
  19. If you really knew the meaning of the phrase, you wouldn't care that he messed it up.
  20. I'm just annoyed at his tuckshop arms. Can't something be done about that?
  21. Wow. Talk about an off-the-ball incident.
