I wasn't funnin' about the knives. They are allowed, but they must have short blades (I think less than 3 inches)...

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

HOLY CARP!!!
I read somewhere that it's the most dangerous sport in the world. The risk of injury/death is insane.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Yeah... But can you imagine the party, afterward? If you think rugby players get rowdy and party like barbarians, you've never been around THESE guys. ;) :thumb:

Goat grabbing is an obscene heresy, polluting the beautiful Love that dare not bleat it's name.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
