What's new

Team USA

@Nilgiri , are you watching the Toronto Maple Leafs / Bruins series at all? That was a great game 6 on Monday and after that terrorist attack in the city, you knew the mood was going to be extra ramped up for that game and it was, Toronto forced a game 7 tonight in Boston. Should be a good one.

Yep its pretty fun to watch....though even if leafs lose, I will enjoy coz I can taunt and tease the many leafs fans I know hehe.

I am also rooting for the jets.

Great first period so far. There's really nothing like playoff hockey, not even the superbowl has this kind of incredible back and forth constant action. It's the most exciting sport by far.

Soccer is almost the WORST! Although it is better than cricket. I know that's practically sacrilegious to say that here on a Pakistani forum with many Indian members, but I'd rather take a 5 lbs sledge hammer to the forehead than to watch a cricket match or whatever it's called. Ooof. Brutal.

But soccer, there's another nightmare.
- Goalie has the ball
- Goalie bounces the ball
- Goalie dribbles the ball to the other side of the box
- Goalie turns around and dribbles back to the middle of the box
- Goalie points his finger to somewhere in midfield direction
- Goalie then decides to pass the ball to defender
- Defender passes the ball to other defender
- Other defender passes to midfielder
- Midfielder passes to right winger
- Right winger passes back to midfielder
- Midfielder passes back to defender
- Defender gets bumped gently on the shoulder falls down screaming in pain holding his ankle!
- Half the bench comes onto the field with a stretcher and a milk crate filed with water bottles
- Everyone gets a drink while the actor rolls around looking for an Oscar
- Bench doctor sprays something on the knee and thigh!
- 10 minutes later he's up pretending his ankle that got hurt from his shoulder but is feeling better
- 20 minutes later finally everyone clears the field and defender kicks the ball to other defender
- Other defender passes ball back to goalie
- Repeat entire process!

Absolute torture!

In contrast, this is how exciting hockey is. 11 goals scored last night in this fantastic elimination game. Constant action.

You reminded me of :lol::

Hahaha, exactly! Never saw that Simpson episode but that is funny.

The only really enjoyable soccer match I ever actually sat and watched and enjoyed was the US women's World Cup in 1999, the finals which ended regulation in a tie and went to penalty shots and Brandi Chastain got the winner for the US and she took off her shirt (kinda like the stupid men who do the same LOL) and exposed her sports bra and it went viral!

That was when they really had the best team with Mia Hamm and co.

@Gomig-21 you gotta be amazed at wacky New England weather. Earlier this week I was wearing a winter coat...yesterday a short sleeved shirt.

My cat brought me another present yesterday...a baby bunny. Poor thing was barely 6" long and cuter than anything you can imagine but was a goner. He brought him right to me and dropped him off at my feet while I was sitting on the deck relaxing. He brings me these gifts thinking I'd be happy with them and although I appreciate his intentions, they have the opposite effects on me lol. I felt terrible for that poor little bugaboo. They're all out and about this time of year.

LOL! I didn't think it was...or you'd die when fishing off the keys! haha!!

We had to cancel our yellow fin tuna trip in February because our buddy in Florida got an offer on his house and had to sell it right then. So we couldn't get out on his big, 60ft Viking to boat from Key West to Louisiana for all that great Mahi Mahi and tuna fishing. So we've postponed it for the fall but that's going to clash with another trip to the Red Sea. We'll deal with it when it gets closer to that time.

In the meantime, anyone ever been to Hawaii?

Hey Ant, it was 90 friggin degrees yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to take the T-tops off the TA this weekend! :enjoy:
Gotta get the boat in the water too. I'm going to Quonset RI on Saturday with my good buddy Steve for the air show. The F-35 will be there so we'll get to see it for the first time. Not sure if it'll be the A or B but the latter would be better so we can see it hover.

Get ready for the blast of pollen that's about to nail us HARD! All those cool temperatures of this long winter have subdued the pollen so far, so now it's gonna kick our asses in the worst way possible! Ooof. lol.

Saw this pic today on Twitter. How awesome and adorable are doggos, especially pups? And that white goose also was receptive to the affection.

Especially those Canada geese! lol. I've been attacked by them several times and I was minding my own business. One came flying at me to the back of my head, surprised when I spun around at the last second it was in my face, so I had no choice but to grab it and grip it in a bear hug. I grabbed it by the neck, calmed its wings and folded them and mobilized it by hugging it. The thing was screaming and I kept telling it "oh, now you don't like it do you, now that I got you trapped!" lol A lot of people at the park were taking pictures and stuff and a couple of ladies came up to me after I gently let it go and were actually pissed off at me. They were telling me I should've ducked and lecturing me not to touch them etc. I put them in their place politely by telling them that some people handle things differently when they're attacked by animals, plus I didn't hurt it and just softly walked closer to her chicks and softly put her on the ground and wooshed her away. She wasn't feisty with me at all after that lol.

Another time I got smacked in the back of the head by a tern while hiking the Truro dunes in Cape Cod. I accidentally came close to a restricted nest site I had no idea about. Once I saw the fencing, I started walking around it and then BANG! Right upside the head. Son of a bitch. lol. Couldn't catch that fast flyer.

I also got buzzed by a Northern Goshawk in a pine forest. Ever see one of those? One of the most incredible raptors (accipiter) in the world. Blood red eyes, slate blue back and black & white barring on the chest and belly. These guys don't mess around one bit when you get close to their nest or territory. Female is 1/3 larger than the male and VERY violent. This time I ducked and then got outta dodge really fast. Don't want those talons embedded in my skull.
