Hell, out baseball team's stadium was built in 1973, took over 3 to build and we're not even done paying for the costs of construction. (the provincial government is using most of the money made from taxing cigarettes). Plus our team really sucks hard. GO! EXPOS GO!

However, I don't see why everyone's argument for wrestling-bashing is "It's fake". Movies are fake, does that make them any less entertaining than real life?

Yes, I was saying that earlier...I just don't get that..everytime you ask someone why they don't like wrestling, it's always "cause it's fake"...but I doubt Roger Ebert could begin blasting Terminator 3 because "it's fake!". Why is it unacceptable to hate something else on the grounds it's fake? But it's okay in wrestling? Wrestling dosen't even portray itself as legitimate anymore, Mcmahon has run around for the last five years or so admitting to the scripted nature of things.

Anyway, onto backyard wrestling...which isn't really wrestling to me, it's just idiots hitting each other with weapons, and crap they learned off tv...Japanese death matches I have seen...not my cup of tee, but I respect the effort and commitment it takes to pull that sort of thing off...but I just can't find entertainment from watching people maim themselves.

I remember when was it...two seasons ago I think? When they were talking about contraction...the Expos were one of the top teams that baseball wanted to eliminate, that would have REALLY sucked what with the stadium not getting paid off and all.

I don't like wrestling because it's boring, and the wrestlers are usually annoying.

"ça va se payer tout seul!" qui disait.. mon oeil!

Aren't the expo just sold to some american guy now,along with the Canadien? that's just pure stupidity hahaha. I don't care about sports though.

Now, for a real dumb sport: F1 racing. I can't imagine a more boring sport than that! Especially to watch. It so boring.

I'd say golf is much more boring than F-1 racing.

Golf... why the hell do they even put that shit on tv? I don't mind actually playing golf, but to watch it... on TV???

well, it's the same for every sport. we would much rather play than watch. it just so happens that some are more action-filled than others.

I'd say the worst sport is tennis. When I played it the first time, I was just plain bored. Now, whenever I play it, I just try to nail the other person with the ball on my serve.

I never got the hang of tennis. i'd always end up knocking the ball over the 12 fence. or I'd hit the net. or I'd miss. Always one of those three.

It's not that hard really... it's just stupid. Actually, trying to nail the ball over the fence is another tennis hobby of mine.

He hast returned...driving 10 hours through mountains and marshes from his private-damned-island to return to lovely, freezing Indianapolis at the stroke of midnight. Glory be, I have returned. Now...to dredge through all of the posts...blah.

Oh, it was fantastic. I caught four or five sharks, one 27 inches. Down the way from us, someone caught a 447 pound Marlin about 35 miles off the coast. Made the Carolina papers. Of course, it gave me a lot of troubling things to debate about on the forum. Everyone do me a favor and post in the debate I put up about intolerance and state's rights.

You know, though, it's good to be home. Nothing like your own toilet, even if you were in a condo just about as big as your current abode. Heh.

Double Word.

As for wrasslin'-

Wrestling is nothing more than a homoerotic, phallocentric soap opera perpetuated by the intellectually lazy who get off by culturally slumming.

I missed you guys. Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Long dramatic story of personal triumph over adversity. The stuff they make after school specials about. I hope to see more of you, but there's less internet access than usual, so... blah. If anyone cares to hear a more detailed version, e-mail the shrike or myself.

I'm still pondering which one's more boring: Cricket or baseball. Cricket shades it, just - a game lasts FIVE DAYS.

Baseball sucks. Its just really lame, and after a certain level of skill, you cantreally get any better. And you can't really do what you want.

I just went looking through a few of the first pages of this thread. It's like having a home-video. Watching weenie run around, Judge tricking him into eating a snail.

*sigh* My laptop has been buzzing every now and then. I'm positive it's the fan. What could be causing it? And what can I have done about it? I'm getting really sick of the buzzing.
