A Rugby union event with the regular US and Canadian teams + the 'A' teams from england etc.

I don't know. What Keith described watching didn't sound like Rugby Union. Unless maybe he mistook some pre-game warm-up drills for the game itself. Players who aren't taking part in the actual game are running around on the other end of the field? Play doesn't swap ends of the field quickly?

Even the comment he made about how all of the players have the same body type doesn't fit Rugby Union. Union is noted for having a place for the fast, small 80kg dudes playing in the backline all the way up top the the 120+kg behemoths packing down in the forward line. Rugby League has a more consistent type of athlete because it's much faster than Rugby Union and the big fuckers can't keep up with the pace, so maybe it was League they were watching, but even then the other comments don't really fit. It really sounded like he was describing Rugby Sevens.

And to be clear it's not that I blame him for not knowing or mixing shit up, the fact rugby has three different codes isn't Keith's fault. I'm just curious what comp it was because we hear almost nothing about American Rugby in NZ except when the Rugby World Cup is on.

I don't follow English rugby but that will have been far from their strongest side. My dad's a rugby fan and he never even mentioned the tournament, so it's not of much consequence. Rugby's not my game; 15 a side, lots of kicking into touch, very dull indeed. Then again, I like what you call soccer, so I'm hardly a great arbiter of what's captivating.

I bet you also find the grappling aspect of MMA entertaining. Weirdo.

Man, that stuff is gay porn for shy people. Like Bromance or Manowar album covers.

The MMA fans are in the closet, bent over looking for the key to go out, while a giant mexican dude named "El Bubbacito", flips coins in their rectum with his dick helmet.

Junk you sonofabitch. I can't believe you would stoop so low as to accuse me of being shy.

[Junkenstein]

Oh i didnt know you liked MMA...

Of course you're not shy, you've been out of the closet since you've started carpentering in the nude and flirting with Petek (poor guy, he's so sexually confused).

I picture you like a guy who to quote Dennis Hopper (Rest his soul) as Frank Booth "Will fuck anything that moooooooves!"

[Bucho]

Actually it's funny you should bring up gay and MMA together. I just finally watched Bruno recently and even though that movie is pretty half-assed and inconsistent the last scene where those good old boy, southern MMA fans are going mental is pretty damn brilliantly hilarious. There's that one guy who looks like his head is about to actually explode. It's worth watching the film for him alone.

[Junkenstein]

I think Bruno disappointed me at first, because i didnt passed out like i did with Borat.

But that movie has high points of cruelty, that and the child casting scene.

I admicre Cohen, he's like a funny Andy Kaufman.

(I had a hard time believing there could be a full crowd chanting out how much they're straight... But i forget it happens at every Gay pride in guidoland...)

i've been listening to scott siglers ancestor thru itunes, this is going to be a good one. well all of his stories kickass, unless your a fucking pussy. scott gave doug a hugh shout out for making his app. he mentioned his website and the katg app. awesome job doug, i so wish i had an iphone.

[Junkenstein]

I dont listen to pod books usually. I got Scott's stuff in paper form. (Waiting for Ancestor!) But i'm listening to Earthcore in audio version (Since the printed one is very hard to find) and it kicks ass.

The man is a fuckin' genius.
