I take it you enjoy this new sensation called "Winning"? It's not like you experience it often.

What's rugby? Is it something like cricket? Does it also involve insects?  ;D

I think it's sort of like a type of football, the brits don't call it football, because that's what they call soccer.

Yes, they're strange people.

now, if you want to get into it, ruby IS more popular than cricket in the U.S. At least in the east. There are major tournaments that people from all up and down the coast come to in DC.

However, it's not like the games are televised. And even BOWLING matches are televised sometimes...

I see rugby on ESPN all the time. A guy at my work is even on the Armed Forces Rugby team, he's good, and would have been on the team last year if he hadn't kept hurting guys on the other teams. (breaking legs)

breaking legs is just a little hurt? I always thought there was something wrong with that game.

Yeah. Rugby has been discribed to me as: football without the sissy pads.

Saint, what is this Ruby game you refer to? Is it anything like Pretty, Pretty Princess? And if so, why would you admit that Eastcoasters like it?

In other news: I feel reassured in my masculinity, because despite having 3 daughters, I have no idea what this "pretty pretty princess" thing it.

Oooh! MoD, we have that game in my apt! :D But of course, you can't be a pretty pretty princess without a pink tiara.

Mall Madness is my favorite. :D At an FHE at our Bishop's house a couple of years ago we found the game in their basement and bullied my roommates boyfriend into playing it with us. It was very nostalgic.
