More vituperous ribaldry than a stick might be shaken towards.

shot to the ego


For everyone who thinks Soccer in Europe is roughly equivalent to Football here in the US, check this out - a team in Romania traded one of their defensemen for 33 pounds of meat. That's roughly 120 junior bacon cheeseburgers, if you're keeping track. I imagine Terrel Owens would be upset if he were traded for anything less than 500.

The player has since quit and is now looking for a job in either construction or agriculture in Spain.

“We are upset because we lost twice — firstly because we lost a good player and secondly because we lost our team’s food for a whole week,” a Regal Horia official was quoted as saying by the daily in its electronic edition.

I think that paragraph makes the whole article.

Go shoot something. It's the new rage.

I think that 33 is such a strange number...is that just the amount that came off of a specific animal? I think I have eaten steaks bigger than that.

How much meat would it take to have you write a new post?
