More countries play cricket than baseball.

Now THAT'S bad.

Our sport is a lot younger.

Also, we got away with calling Football (or Futbol as I like to call it), the most popular sport in the world, by a different name. If that's not a big "Fuck you!" to the world, then I don't know what is.

[Heald]

America in general is a big "Fuck you!" to the world.

[Blademaster]

Dumbfuck America is a big "fuck you" to the rest of the world. Keep us little coastal states with some semblance of brainpower out of that group.

Cricket is baseball for wusses who can't pitch properly. It's also the most boring game in the world. Notice I didn't call it a sport there. Most cricket players are obnoxious idiots who crow like galahs every time they do something of significance. I wonder how loudly they'd crow if they found a real game to play.

EDIT: I realise now that I completely missed the point of anything with this post. But I'll keep it here, simply because the idea of starting a sports-related argument is a novel concept.

That hurts me Heald. Deep down inside that really hurts ;_;

[Heald]

Yeah Drago, I wasn't saying cricket was a good sport, on the contrary, I hate it. It take 22 pillocks 5 days to decide who has the bigger penis, basically. It always requires about as much athletic talent as spitting at a flid.

[Houndoom_Lover]

More importantly, why do we have a crying eagle on TPM. Do we have a crying Jew on the German flag? What's up with this?

You know what sport is nice? Muggle Quiditch.

I know a lot of the stuff you say is crazy, but no other post this year has made me genuinely laugh out loud as much as this statement did. Well played ma'am. Well played.

The whole post was, frankly, genius (mainly because after this remark you make a Harry Potter reference) but the remark itself is pure gold.

[Houndoom_Lover]

X3 Yesh! This just made my day a bajillion times better! Haha, thanks so much Herald ^w^ I like to say I try...but I don't X3 I'm uber happy I made you laugh out loud.

We speak English in this topic, boys and girls. Not English. Keep your strange foreign languages to a minimum please.

Also, who'se got good computer skills on this site? We now require a German flag emoticon with a little crying Jewish man on it. It's mandatory, like those wasp and spider emoticons on Conceptart. Give us the :sadjew: icon!

[DarkestLight]

Dumbfuck America is a big "fuck you" to the rest of the world. Keep us little coastal states with some semblance of brainpower out of that group.

o.O Coastal States with Semblance of Brain power....lemme first see which states are coastal....

Uhh Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North/South Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine...

and then if you wanna be technical...

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsion and Minnesota....

I'm already not including Ohio (landfill state), California (NEEDS. TO. SUBDUCT. ALREADY.), Texas (-.- Explanation, really?), Louisiana ..no take that back. Louisiana is ok. Its not their fault they're under the sea level. That's nature.

Mississippi and Alabama...hrm naa, none there...

Flor-moving on...

Georgia..ehh I guess. Carolinas stay. Maryland is eh, Delaware can drop like a rock, Pennsylvania...maybe half of it at times...

NY can be pretty dumb as well, so we can lose 3/4ths of it...Mass and Conn are well, too damn quiet, they stay. Who even still remembers RI is a state? New Hampshire and Maine have good lobster. They stay. Yes, having fresh lobster is an requirement. Oysters, not so much so you hush Carolinas.

Oh Jersey? Pfft Jersey isn't a state, everyone knows that.

Hrm..and as for Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsion and Minnesota...well Minnesota is eh, they have those Fortune 500 companies. Michigan is just weird. Illinois is backwards at times...and Wisconsin is too damn cold to be allowed thinking rights.

Ok that should be enough to rage about.

[mr_pikachu]

Louisiana ..no take that back. Louisiana is ok. Its not their fault they're under the sea level. That's nature.

You can't blame Louisiana for being below sea level. You can blame its residents for being dumb enough to live there anyway.

[Blademaster]

Dumbfuck America is a big "fuck you" to the rest of the world. Keep us little (<-- one of the keywords, you twit) coastal states with some semblance of brainpower out of that group.

o.O Little Coastal States with Semblance of Brain power....lemme first see which states are Little and coastal....

Uhh Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North/South Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine...

and then if you wanna be technical... We don't.

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsion and Minnesota....

So, I have instantly eliminated all the tomfoolery from the post... Now to address the rest:

Carolinas stay. Maryland is eh, Delaware can drop like a rock,

Ah, bullshit! NC is too big and SC is full of Konfederate Kousin-screwing Ku Klux Krazies.

Mass and Conn are well, too damn quiet, they stay. Who even still remembers RI is a state? New Hampshire and Maine have good lobster. They stay. Yes, having fresh lobster is an requirement. Oysters, not so much so you hush Carolinas.

Agreed.

Oh Jersey? Pfft Jersey isn't a state, everyone knows that.

Obviously. But New Jersey is, and I live in the non-polluted and non-idiotic part of it (the part that's too rich for minorities ).

Ok that should be enough to rage about.

That's all you got? Where's the subtle digging? The logical fallacies? The blatant sophism?

I thought I taught you better, Darkly...

[VirtualPlay]

Mass and Conn are well, too damn quiet, they stay. Who even still remembers RI is a state? New Hampshire and Maine have good lobster. They stay. Yes, having fresh lobster is an requirement. Oysters, not so much so you hush Carolinas.

MA being quiet? You've never been in Boston on St. Patrick's Day. Can't say much about CT, it takes 2+ hours for me to get there, and that's just to get to the border, never mind finding anything besides trees and cows.

RI is only remembered as a state by elementary and junior-high kids learning the states, high school kids in geography, and anyone who lives in New England.

And darn right we have good lobster up here in NH, despite having the smallest coastline of all the coastline states. ME still has better lobster, though I blame that on their much larger coastline; more area, more to collect from.

[Houndoom_Lover]

I too live in the less disgusting part of New Jersey :0 They're so rich here, they havn't gotten the "Free your slaves" memo. Like, seriously. Everyone who works here is of some minority (Not including the proffesors).

Forrizzle my nizzle. ^w^ We need us a crying Jew!

[Heald]

X3 Yesh! This just made my day a bajillion times better! Haha, thanks so much Herald ^w^ I like to say I try...but I don't X3 I'm uber happy I made you laugh out loud.

In all honesty, any post that makes reference to crying Jews will probably make me laugh.

We speak English in this topic, boys and girls. Not English. Keep your strange foreign languages to a minimum please.

Pillock = Dickhead
Flid = A person born with deformed or missing limbs due to their mothers taking thalidomide during pregnancy.

[Houndoom_Lover]

:0 Crying Jews are the ultamate in intertainment

[Blademaster]

Thank you.

Now explain what "thalidomide" is.

On the topic of America, I'm planning on visiting a couple places late next year. Unfortunately I won't be able to do the big America trip I was hoping for just yet, just a couple states here and there.

Now, all bias aside, and considering that it'd be easier for me not to hop from coast to coast, which cities should I visit? Trying to boil it down to the necessities... I've only ever been to Hawaii, California and Nevada before, and in all cases I still haven't really seen much of them. Every time I was either in Honolulu, Los Angeles or Las Vegas. I really quickly visited Beverley Hills too, but really not enough to draw much of an opinion other than I wanted to break into Eddie Murphy's house.

So yeah. What's the best y'all Yanks have got on offer?

[Roy Karrde]

Well I would suggest trying something on the East Coast, New York is really something that you have to take in, so many sights to see and it really is almost a city of the future with all the sky scrapers around you. You also have Washington DC, you have so much history in that city.

[Asilynne]

I deff suggest DC although it is a bitch to drive in. There is public transportation though, and yes theres a lot of history stuff. Also if you come during mid march youll be here for the cherry blossom festival which is always awesome ^v^

[Drago]

Ah, forgot to mention. If it helps at all, it'll likely be over the late October through to early January period. Hoping to somehow catch a Titans game while I'm there!

[Blademaster]

Go to Boise Idaho. Get yourself a lifetime supply of potatoes.

[VirtualPlay]

Since you've mostly been to the west coast, you should definitely visit New York. It's a lot different from LA. DC's okay, but I only went on a school trip and didn't have freedom to go wherever I wanted.

You could also go to Boston. It's a lot smaller than New York, but it's still quite busy and extremely history-laden. Just…make sure you don't come while the Red Sox are hosting the Yankees…the traffic on the main streets is horrible and the T (subway) is always packed. I guess the same can be true for New York when the Yankees are hosting the Red Sox, but I don't live an hour from there to know for a fact.

[Heald]

Come to England. It never stops raining, it's expensive as shit, it's full of fat people in tracksuits that do nothing but chain-smoke and ride buses and everyone and everything smells like shit. It's like Bangladesh but with slightly less poverty.

[Master Rudy]

So yeah. What's the best y'all Yanks have got on offer?

Come to Cincinnati. We should hopefully have gambling by October and with a little luck I should be a Blackjack dealer by then if I can get into the class for it. Brandy's suggestion of DC also works but I wouldn't suggest driving around there. Most drivers in Virginia blow and Maryland isn't much better. For extra shits and giggles go to the real DC and then play Fallout 3.....gets kinda surreal after awhile, especially in the few areas accurate to real life. Some liberties were taken with the game since it's an alternate, future timeline. Best case is the Washington Monument. In the game it's smack dab in the middle of the city with other buildings around it. Needless to say it's not like that for real. If you hit the DC area also check out the battlefields around Manassas.....uh.....I mean Manixico, VA (you'll understand why they nicknamed it that if you see it)

I guess the same can be true for New York when the Yankees are hosting the Red Sox, but I don't live an hour from there to know for a fact.

That actually holds true for nearly any large American League city with a good team. Plus it's doublely bad if you go when multiple big events are happening all at once. Case in point was Otacon 2006. That weekend was the con, filming for Die Hard 4 and also saw the Yankees in town. To say that the area around Inner Harbor was busy is like saying America has 50 states......your saying something that's so obvious that you'll only making yourself look like an idiot

[[Kimmi]™]

So yeah. What's the best y'all Yanks have got on offer?

Detroit has gambling, Faygo soda, and the ever-present threat of being shot. (y)

[Asilynne]

I would definately try hitting up dc and new york, especially if youll be around for the new year/christmas time. If you flew to dc, you could take a bus to new york for the round trip price of 50$ (Im pretty sure anyway, its not expensive at all) DC at christmastime is really pretty, and of course you have new years in times square. Would be quite a trip that even as an american I have yet to do and I would really like to (also I live near dc and so I have no excuse for not doing it yet XD)

[PancaKe]

Go to vegas. Nuff said.

[Master Rudy]

Ok new direction for the topic! How are you guys liking the various minor changes around TPM as of late (Mt. Moon, old rank displays, ect)

All in all I'm loving it. Some of the new things and random craziness is actually making the forums slowly feel like they did around 2002-03. Amazingly enough membership is also slowly growing! I don't think there's been a single day this past week that I haven't seen at least one new name on the boards

[Telume]

FEED THEM TO THE DRAGONS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, seriously. The changes have been positive, I hope we see at least 100 people online concurrently (although I think that's being a bit too optimistic.) XD

Haha, I think outside of the first couple years (when TPM was THE place for Pokémon info), hitting 100 online members was a big thing anyway. Even during the first couple years 100+ only happened once or twice a week.

[Telume]

Yeah, I get lucky to hit even 90 concurrently on IRC.

Also, I like that custom title, haha.

:0 In New Jersey, they have the Pine Barrens. I actually don't know what's going on. I just wandered in here from Mt. Moon. Can I get a drink? Its been a long trip.

[Telume]

*gives H_L a drink*

Satisfied?

I wasn't a big fan of the show but I do remember an episode of The Sopranos where two of the mobsters where trying to dump the body of a Russian mobster in the middle of the Pine Barrens during the winter. What they didn't know was that the guy was still alive. As a result of being two guys from Jersey he easily gave them the slip by hiding in one of the most obvious places. When they lost sight of him they couldn't figure out why the footprints in the snow stopped. The whole time I'm laughing my ass off and shouting at the TV:

"HE'S IN THE FUCKING TREE YOU MORONS!"
Good times.....
