The Mud Thread

Anyone who has known me on these forums for a while already knows this but for those of you just tuning in:

I like mud.

Perhaps a portion of my childhood became stunted and never grew up. Perhaps all guys like mud, and my liking of it is stronger than most. I don't know.

But I will specifically and deliberately play rugby or football in one particular meadow on the edge of a swamp after a good rain because it always becomes a morass of gooey mud. Among my circle of friends, I am always the one starting mudfights. Always the one the others end up tossing into the deepest pool of goo in the swamp. If I don't jump in myself, that is.

Unfortunately, the internet is rather limited in it's coverage of mud. All you find are pictures of kids having fun in mud( a worthwhile endeavour, and worth a laugh, but having lots of these pictures on your computer makes you look like a pervert), pictures of females mudwrestling(A VERY worthwhile endeavour, but having lots of these pictures also make you look like a pervert. A chance I'm willing to take. :D ), or of people getting....er...nasty in mud. Yes, there are mud fetishists.

I'd love to see a site compiling photos of good clean adults having fun in mud. So far, no dice.

For all I know, there could be. Most of my free internet time is spent either here or playing City of Heroes. Internet savvy, I'm not. But I'd rather spend my time getting muddy than looking at pictures anyway.

Am I saying that I don't find mud to be in the least bit erotic? I wouldn't go THAT far. Mud can be erotic. It certainly is an odd sensation on the skin. But typically, I'm too actively having fun to give it much thought.

But back to sports and mud. It disappoints me that measures are now taken in design and construction of sports fields to eliminate the appearance of mud. It's....unsportsmanlike. Mud is part of sports! Especially soccer(football), rugby and american football. It's part of the game. I think any season without one game played under the muddiest of muddy conditions isn't a real test of a team's abilities. Stop making mudproof fields! In fact, I say do the opposite. Design fields to GET muddy! Maybe more kids would play sports if they did.

This would be one of those situations where Freud is off his trolley then?

I recall getting surprisingly muddy while running cross country, back in the day. These days, I prefer to have a shower no more than once per day. Cleaning is too much hassle.

Edit: And no, I'd rather not remain muddy either. The ladies disapprove.

Edit2: Actually, it's mostly my mother that disapproves. SHUT UP, FREUD!!

I think that's pure coincidence. :)

The worst thing about this type of comment, is that it says more about your psyche than Lunatic Goofballs'. :D

Hasn't enough already been said about my psyche to make you all shudder?

Can't it be both? Both involve immersion. ;)

You'd be a bit annoyed if you were rolling in the mud one day, and some acne-infested teenage runt trotted up to you, declaring "I pWnZ0rZ u!!!!1111" and proceeded to stab you.

Yes. I'm difficult to annoy. But being assailed with dreaded 133+ speak and having to listen to deliberate ignorance in action...oh yeah, and stab wounds... would do the trick. I'd probably smother him in my mudpit and hide the corpse. It's worked well so far. *nod*

Remember to loot the corpse first.
