How ironic that I shall be ailing away just after I became captain of a Viking ship.

Regalskeppet Vasa? Or the Djurgården ferry?

 

[Perun]

No, just a normal dragon boat. You know, looting, raping, marauding, dum-dee-do-dee-dee.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Oh yeah, one of those.

Sitting outside in shorts and t-shirts during a Stockholm night, drinking? Destroying our vocal cords at a heavy metal gig? Travelling by plane? All of them? Yes, all of them.

I'll tell you what - don't expect any sympathy from those who have not been that lucky.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I do not seek sympathy I'm just contributing towards this thread reaching 100,000 replies!

What actually happens when we get to 100,000 ... is this a Mayan calendar kind of deal?

.. All-Star Game tonight ... it used to be better, but it is still fun to watch. I have had some luck and gone to 3 of them. 1978, 1989, and 1992

Hockey??

 

[bearfan]

Baseball

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Is it played like the pro bowl in the NFL? Usually there's not much competition in those games

 

[bearfan]

More and more it is heading in that direction. The All Star Games pre-interleague play used to be pretty nasty and it was played like a real game .. only with top notch players on both teams. There was the famous 1972 incident when Pete Rose took out catcher Ray Fosse and pretty much ended his career during a collision at the plate.

Now with pitch count limits and managers trying to get everyone from the bloated rosters into the game, it has gone downhill ... but between it, football, NBA, and NHL .. the baseball all-star game is still closest to a regular season game and pretty much the only one of the 4 I bother to watch


Edit, it was 1970, not 72.

Then ask National Acrobat about the bisc-U-its I always thought the u was silent, but that belief has been shaken by the afore mentioned Englishman.

An outrageous accusation!

Next you'll be saying I called it a "cooookie".

Where's my Swedish defence partner?

 

[LooseCannon]

Bis-kit. That's it. Bis-kit.

I read that in the voice of Baby Herman. Don't ask me why

If you have a look in her last PM to us, you'll have the answer to that.

Jesus. The one day I'm not able to pop on during my 10 minute break at work and I miss 3 pages.

 

[national acrobat]

Bis-kit. That's it. Bis-kit.

The pronunciation isn't in question (any more). I was upbraiding the Wingman for suggesting it was my pronunciation which provoked that question.

I missed the very start of that biscuit argument, so you are welcome to clear up any misunderstandings

Jesus Christ. I haven't been on here much and there are 100 pages of posts... sheesh...
