I have nothing against football, but why the fuck is it called football?

Then I went onto the porch to have a smoke and freaked when I heard a moaning noise.
For a while I thought I had a heartattack coming on but it was just a burp. Good weed btw.

Totally deathtoll. I love this shit. My only complaint would be that the documentary style precludes knowing how it will end. The suspense would be greater not knowing. All my life at times of stress I've had to battle implacable zombies in my nightmares. I could teach Brooks a thing or two about improvised weapons. Likely saw "Night of the Living Dead" at too young an age. Then too life itself seems an implacable battle at times. I'll fight both till I wake though. Fun stuff.
I wake in a second story bedroom of a farmhouse and walk to the billowy shear curtains to stare across a feild of sun bleached sedge grass. A figure appears on the horizon. Shambling. More follow. The battle begins.

I think it was one of those meta-things where you attack yourself to preemptively roll your eyes at others that would have otherwise done it for you, that and because Stitch repeated the same thing he said, so it adds even another layer of cleverness to doing it, I guess he was thinking? But who knows what really goes through that boy's head...

Wiki says all those games were called football. There was Association Football (I suppose now you'd say League Football), Rugby Football, and Gridiron Football (which was basically derived from rugby football and carried the football name with it) ... and what the final name came down to was whatever the situation was in the country when the rules got officially formalized and adopted. The US was later in adopting the Association Football rules and earlier with the Gridiron Football rules. Or something like that.

Quote Posted by The Big British Castle
US sports fans in Arizona got a surprise when their TV coverage of American football's Super Bowl was interrupted by a pornographic film.
Tuscon-based KVOA-TV said it was "dismayed and disappointed" after some cable viewers had their match coverage disrupted towards the end of the game.
The company said the material was only seen by viewers of one cable network.
"KVOA will investigate what happened and make sure our viewers get answers," company president Gary Nielsen said.
"When the NBC feed of the Super Bowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material," he added.
Comcast, the cable company whose viewers saw the material, said it was investigating.
Local media outlets reported that they received calls from furious viewers.
The clip showed a woman unzipping a man's trousers, followed by a graphic act between the two."I just figured it was another commercial until I looked up," viewer Cora King told the Arizona Daily Star.
"Then he did his little dance with everything hanging out."The interruption happened just after the last touchdown by the Arizona Cardinals, who lost the match to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Giggity.

Haha, what the fook. How does something like that even happen?
Can you imagine the outrage in the Daily Mail if that ever happened to the BBC, especially if something sombre like Newsnight was on at the time...

Awesome link, deathtoll.
Hey, BTW, I found my copy of Duke 3D Mania (The Expansion Set)--700 new levels. Do you have it?
