Football, baseball, professional wrestling and golf are hardly state-sponsored soporifics in the way the ancient Roman games were.

The very phrases "to keep the populace occupied" and the "masses are kept in a permanent stupor" bespeaks a vast elite conspiracy to keep the masses opiated -- not self-inflicted distraction. So obviously what we're dealing with are Monster Truck Rallies.

Somebody please severely wedgie BSJ for his effete disdain of martial pleasures. :D

Is giving Blue a wedgie state sponsored?

I don't know...

Hmmm...giving Blue a wedgie...

Nope, I've decided: this'll truly be the first time that there will be no "I" in team.

:D

I just got back from iaido class....THAT'S a martial pleasure. :)

You guys can go watch overpaid drug addicts in tights leap around like a bunch of pansies. I'll keep swinging a sword.

Re: wedgies. I give as good as I get. :D

"[O]verpaid drug addicts"
That's why I prefer collegiate athletics -- they're not allowed to be overpaid. Drug addicts, OK (*coughMiamiHurricanescough*), but not overpaid.

We've got enough overpaid schmucks in this world as it is. :D

JP

Ah, come on. You're not just gonna' watch floats or "Samurai Jack" on New Years Day, are you?

What's a "Samurai Jack"????

Oh Good Lord -- he hates sports and Cartoon Network too. Philistine.

JP

Oh, sorry. No cable. We watch too much TV as it is....at least 5 hours a week.

You're killing me, Smalls. :D

JP

how do you get your news without The Daily Show?

Blue's a riot! If something happens to me, I want him to have all my videogames and collection of car wash artwork. :D

Man! TDS is a little hard for me in the morning. It's like the visual version of the Travis Bickle breakfast of champions.

You're in the adult film industry? How come you don't live in Sherman Oaks?

Don't tell my wife about my porn career. She thinks my Fu Manchu mustache is just an affectation.

ahh...now it makes sense. Gay porn. Sham marraige as a misdirection. Gotcha. Mums the word!

Yes, it's true. I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body. :(

I don't remember TT Boy having said Fu Manchu facial hair? Ron Jeremy, yes. TT? No.

Well, even w/ a FuManchu, you've still got less facial hair than many lesbians I've met.

Do you sport a Pete Rose haircut and have a propensity for flannel shirts?

JP

Hilarious! You just described the owner of the local Burbank model train store I had to go to yesterday!

He's probably not concerned about the BCS either. But he sure knows his switch track and couplers.

Ewwww! :eek:

See, now this is how rumors get started. I do NOT wear flannel. How gauche. :rolleyes:

G'night everybody!

(PS: dd, you lost me. What's a TT Boy? I'm afraid to click on any of the links Google spat out on that one!)
