Where is everyone? With a vast area of the US being in an extreme heat wave and other parts of the country, being hit with thunderstorms I figured everyone would be hunkered down on NSG. Oh, was I wrong as it is so quiet here you can hear a pin drop.

But!!! I forgot!! It is August and Europe is on their month long vacation. That’s right Americans you are being screwed. Many in Europe get a month vacation while you get a mere week or two.

But where is Canada tonight? Where is the Land of Oz? Is everyone out basking in the heat or are we all in shock? Shock? Yes.

It was so hot in New York yesterday that Pelosi and Clinton showed up at a fundraiser in tank tops. :eek::eek:

But where is Canada tonight? where it's always been. North of the USA.
Where is the Land of Oz? Sooome Wheeere Over the RaaainBow

Is that Cher on the radio? Oh, I hope so....

Watching football. Oh, how I've missed it.

Actually, it's been much less quiet in the past few days than it has been in the past few weeks.

Or maybe that's just my impression.

Watching football. Oh, how I've missed it.

American football or European football? :p

I think you mean...American football, or real football?

I believe you Brits call it "rugby," but rugby is a different sport entirely.

Play it once.

I was asking Copiosa Scotia so he/she will have to answer your question.

By the way, which came first European football or American football? I think that would determine which one is "real football."

I believe you Brits

I do believe it's news to Neesika that she's British...

May I point out that there are other British people on this forum? "You British" doesn't refer to only Neesika.

You were posting in response to her... and mind you, the whole world plays football, not just the UK.

I`m in a hotel.

In Madrid or Paris?

What the hell are you talking about? Football, you know...where a ball gets kicked about by hot men while crazed fans pound on drums and chant their team's songs, and occasionally bludgeon the other team's fans to death? Rugby is rugby.

I`m in a hotel.

Just because you pay your mother a symbolic stipend to use her basement as a makeshift domicile, doesn't mean that it's a hotel....

Except in the US where it is called soccer and football is a different game.

"American football" is not a game. It's a padded spectacle.

Play nice Fass, play nice.

Right on the beach, actually.

"American football" is not a game. It's a padded spectacle.

By golly Fass, we agree on something.

Perhaps Generalites are tired of Iraq threads. Then perhaps many may have become addicted to RL which would be a shame. It is Friday night so... yeah. But then the forum has seemed quiet for months now, its all the same to me.

"American football" is not a game. It's a padded spectacle.

And baseball?

Forum always sucks during the summer.

I'm only on tonight because I'm avoiding all the things that need doing before I head to the mountains to commune with the bears. The house is a mess, I haven't packed a thing, hell...I haven't even got the laundry done for the trip. And here I am, sipping coffee and watching the third season of LOST, and wanking on NSG. Go me!

Play nice Fass, play nice.

I'm just teasing.

And baseball?

Also called "rounders" in Europe. A childish game played almost exclusively by 13-year-old girls.

I'd take you more seriously, but I realize we're having a conversation about sports. :p

Don't just take my word for it.

I was gone out of town for a week, and I just got back late last night, only now I have to prepare for school starting so I don't have time to discuss the idiocy that is the first page o' NSG tonight.

Fass, rounders isn't exactly like baseball, because I said so.

Play nice Fass, play nice.

You edited this! You were patting him on the back for his comment, and now you're pretending to chide him?

Dontpostpix, kthnx.

Not literally wanking. Which is something I know, despite all your protestations, you actually want to see.

Just 'cause you tricked me into seeing it once or twice doesn't mean I wanted to. It was more yet another affirmation that there is no god.

Fass will tell you I never pat him on the back and he never pats me on the back. We very, very seldom see eye to eye. Right Fass?

I doubt that even works with your children, Smunk.

The girls wouldn't look all that attractive in those froufrou uniforms that USA players wear, so it's different that way.

And yet I have no doubt there will be another chance to 'trick you into seeing it'. Odd that :D

You are wily with your snatch, I'll grant you that.

Why are you talking to Fass like you're old drinking buddies? It's...disconcerting.

Not post-edit, anyway, but you need only see with your eyes to my Asian eye... :p

We are trying to keep you confused. Right Fass?

I was in Edmonton all day today. The food sucked as usual.

Stop eating at Tim Hortons then, dolt.

No, seriously...where'd you eat? I'm going to have to give you a proper tour of the city some time so you stop dissing it so ineffectively.

No, seriously...where'd you eat? I'm going to have to give you a proper tour of the city some time so you stop dissing it so ineffectively.I went to a place called Zodiac just off 104th (near 63rd). The guy from Midas recommended it. I was also recommended a pub an earlier time that is on Yellowhead (IIRC) that sucked too (it was a British style pub). I'm starting to think that I should stop listening to the recommendations of Edmontonians.

While we were waiting for the Midas boys to do their work, I did go to West Edmonton Mall (the last time I was there, I was 1). It was pretty neat. I was in awe of the roller coaster and would have gone on it if I didn't eat at that stupid Zodiac place. It would have been better if I liked shopping, or had something similar to a Future Shop, but it was a ok way to waste 5 hours.

EDIT: Don't diss Timmy HoHo food. It is yummy, I think.

What kind of food do you like? Edmonton has a tonne of fantastic restaurants...and you go to a slummy 'canadian and chinese' greasy spoon? Tsk.

What kind of food do you like? Edmonton has a tonne of fantastic restaurants...and you go to a slummy 'canadian and chinese' greasy spoon? Tsk.I like bar style food. Big burgers and bigger calories. We ended up going to the Hooter's for lunch/dinner which was good, but if I wanted to go to Hooter's I could have stayed in McMurray.

American football or European football? :p

The real football.

Psst... that means American. :p

Ugh, I ate at Hooters once, and it was terrible. Worse ribs I ever had, and the fake tits of the serving wench simply did not make up for it. You should try Tasty Tom's, Garage Burger, or even Red Robbins if you want good burgers. Earle's also has good burgers.

I think my wench's tits were real too.

But were are Tasty Tom's or Garage Burger? On my long, painful drive into BC next week (!!!), we'll probably have breakfast in Edmonton.

I guess a better question is, who serves good pancakes? My dad would probably appreciate good eggs, but pancakes are the only thing I like from most people's breakfast menus (ie it does not have an egg in it).

Where is everyone? With a vast area of the US being in an extreme heat wave and other parts of the country, being hit with thunderstorms I figured everyone would be hunkered down on NSG. Oh, was I wrong as it is so quiet here you can hear a pin drop.

It's Friday night. Some of us were out.

You can google them. Best pancakes I've had were at Barb and Ernies, 9906 72 Ave. It's a German restaurant, and I'm not even a big fan of German food, but it's a great place. Breakfasts are amazing.

Nah, if I were showing off, I'd be telling everyone I was at the Jets game.... ;)

They have American-style pancakes at a German restaurant? o.o

No wonder noone was posting, you started this thread at 3 in the bloody morning. Europeans aren't gonna be posting on here at that time. I wouldn't say it's be slow recently, there's been a whole host of threads by RO that have actually be reasonably funny, what's happened to him?

And btw, I have a 3 month vacation, so ha ha :p

I am otherwise preoccupied, meaning I'm off in some imaginary world where I can buy nice mods for my car.

By the way, is this (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1080) too much showing off? I mean, usually I'd stay away from everything that doesn't make it go faster...but it's just soooo cool.

I think you mean...American football, or real football?The other way around,hon. Real football or that crap Europeans and European wannabes play.:p

Nah, if I were showing off, I'd be telling everyone I was at the Jets game.... ;)

I'm sorry.


Oh...you think that's a good thing, don't you? Well now, this is awkward...


;)

But!!! I forgot!! It is August and Europe is on their month long vacation. That’s right Americans you are being screwed. Many in Europe get a month vacation while you get a mere week or two.

My vacation is from May 26 to August 20... so I've still got a week left! Yay! :D

The other way around,hon. Real football or that crap Europeans and European wannabes play.:p

Anyone mention Australian football here? No protective equipment is required, the game moves faster than soccer or American football and, until the administrators decided to sanitise the game, things like the hip-and-shoulder, high marking and the "love tap" (getting shirt-fronted) were all part of the game. Also, we don't dance like turkeys when we score a goal or run across a white line for a "touchdown".

:)

ZOMG! I love Red Robin's. I get orgasms when I eat there.
It's Friday night. Some of us were out.
I was getting drunk because I couldn't get to sleep due to the fact that it was a Friday night, in a vacation town, where there's lots of parties.. on Friday nights.
Show off.

EDIT: That reminds me.. I'M HOME!!!!

I'm a fan of the Crispy Chicken burger and of course, Red Robin's seasoned fries.

Canada.

Well, I know I'm just an ignorant American, but there's a LOT of Canada up there. We should probably try to narrow it down to a province and city.
