Hey now, it takes a real man to wear a ton of plushy, comfy, padding before heading out on the field.

I remember playing rugby out in California back in 1999. Time and again players would tell us how they started playing for training or recovering from a 'Football' injury. They never went back.
This[^] sums it up.

Just started playing American Football after retiring from Rugby, take from that what you will!
One day I aspire to having a signature.

In all seriousness, the upside to wearing the pads did help me be more liberal and not care about slamming into guys. Then again, I never played Rugby so maybe they donn't care about slamming into guys there either.

yes. But it's so much worse than that.
Ya know what's even worse?

It's very exaggerated, I've not heard football mentioned in the office today and it isn't most days. The Premier League title was decided at the weekend and no-one was talking about it yesterday, either. We did talk about it at the tennis club but that's reasonable.
The media does make a bigger thing of Premiership football than is reasonable, imo (though I think La Liga in Spain is worse), but it's not like it's the only game in town. F1, snooker, rugby, cricket and darts, to name a random selection, also get plenty of TV time, big buildups and so on. Newspapers are worse at only covering football, it is true.

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

It wouldn't, it's a rhetorical device. Or something.

Agreed - a good example of the "just because you can do it doesn't mean you should" school.

You've eaten them? 
That's either a little extreme, or a little obscene...

And what is wrong with chocolate ? A good 80% or 86% has very little chocolate. Plus is bitter enough to not want to eat two tables.

Ahhh, I knew a sweet tasty treat can code if it she wanted to. But a delicious treat making music? that I do not believe at all.
I am telling Wonka! -> que *sweet sound of revenge
*Sweet is trade marked to tasting only! the reference making it seem to be referenced to a sound is purely a coincidental absurdity.
