MY THOUGHTS ON GAY MARRIAGE, CRYSTALLIZED

DEEP THOUGHTS (The Rat (don't blame me, it's what she calls herself) via Eve)

If you're ever on an airplane that's crashing, see if you can't organize a quick thing of group sex, because come on, you squares.
Except, I'm not convinced we're crashing, just that it's very turbulent and the pilots, who might be better using their time, are organizing the group sex. Also, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, there's a certain plane crash quality to Eve's blog that keeps me coming back (and the fiction's pretty good, too).

I find this 'wacky' suggestion of her's interesting:

"I think a new, different kind of bowling should be "carpet bowling." It's just like regular bowling, only the lanes are carpet instead of wood. I don't know why we should do this, but my God, we've got to try something!"

Obviously she is another person ignorant of the British propensity for inventing silly games.

Actually, Britain's high point for inventing silly games is long since past.

Cricket is the ultimate sport: the tactical complexity of chess, combined with the thrill of a very hard ball aimed at 90 miles an hour at your head. Plus tea breaks.

You're discussing silly sports invented by the English and you neglect to mention the silliest of them all- soccer? They should skip the twenty two men running around in circles for two hours (because regulation ended 0-0) and get right to the penalty shots.

(And notice how the English North American colony gave us silly winter sports like hockey and curling.)

Et tu, Raoul? My beloved Soccer is met with such disdain here.

John:

No, I'm with you, although any sport that puts a premium on the ability to fake injury lacks a certain gravitas. Do I have your support on hockey?

Uh, those are deep thoughts from Sat Night Live if I'm not mistaken...

Peter:
Hockey? That's the skate-around-and-flog-the-other-guy-with-a-long-stick one, right? Live, yes. TV version, pass.

As to the athletic theater of Soccer, you have a point. At least in Hockey the guy has to be bleeding profusely before a penalty will be assessed.

Scof -- You're right. These are from SNL.
