Subject: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 13 - 03:26 PM Here's Mr John Cleese giving his views on the differences between American football and real football (soccer). Very funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sD_8prYOxo |

Subject: RE: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: Jack the Sailor Date: 11 Jan 13 - 04:05 PM He fails to mention that in soccer the ball is also struck and "caught" with other parts of the body besides the foot. By his logic it should be called "Everything but the Hands and Arms Unless you are the Goal Keeper Ball." Now this is funny! |

Subject: RE: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 13 - 04:54 PM LOL!!! Yeah, that's great, Jack. Good art too. And an excellent description of an American football game from the view of an outsider. It's sort of how I viewed American football when I was back in school, I could never see the sense of it, though I did gradually get to understand the basic rules. Yes, you can play the soccer ball with anything BUT your hands, except for the goalkeeper. Spaw could probably even play it with his dick, if I can go by some of the things he's said, but that wouldn't be considered "proper" in the UK, and he'd be taken off the field. |

Subject: RE: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: Jack the Sailor Date: 11 Jan 13 - 05:09 PM No it would be proper. But in professional leagues he would have to use a cup for insurance reasons. Keep in mind this classic "football" pose. |

Subject: RE: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: John MacKenzie Date: 11 Jan 13 - 05:13 PM There is no difference between American Football, and English Soccer. They're both equally boring ;) |

Subject: RE: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 13 - 06:09 PM Golf seems to be tremendously exciting for some people. I find that funny. ;-) I wonder if there's an old Elmer Fudd cartoon where he's playing golf and being twoubled by a wascally wabbit? Hell, there's got to be, right? Elmer would look damn funny in traditional golf clothes. |

Subject: RE: BS: John Cleese on football - hilarious! From: DMcG Date: 12 Jan 13 - 03:30 AM I think it was Conan Doyle (but it could be HG Wells) who described a cricket match seen from the eyes of visiting Frenchman who did not understand the game at all. Apparently one player stood in front of a little gate beyond which they were not allowed to retreat and had to fend off a hard ball thrown at him with only a small stick to defend himself. When the Frenchman is invited to bowl he hits the batter who jumps about in pain "And he did not pretend my success was due to luck but shouted 'He did it a-purpose! He did it a-purpose!' Ah, they are a brave people, these English". [Or something like that!] |
