Plus we like timeouts so we can go to the beer bar without missing the only goal of the game :) I think.... I finally understand (after reading the above<g>)... the meaning of the expression: "Com'on!" You hit [your head] on the nail..... Message 9772388 ______________ Now for a moronic mention, I submit the British [tabloid] press, after some of the headlines, following the Manchester United victory over Bayern Munich, in the European Cup..... ''Football? Bloody Hell'' read a headline in The Sun, quoting the first words from United coach Alex Ferguson -- being touted for knighthood -- after the team's first European Champions Cup title in 31 years. ''King of Europe'' said The Express, calling the victory the ''most dramatic comeback in football history.'' The quick-to-attack tabloids have been the fiercest critics of English soccer's recent lack of success. The game went into decline after all English clubs were banned from European soccer for five years when 39 people -- mostly Italian -- died in 1985 at Heysel Stadium in Brussels in rioting caused by English hooligans. On Thursday, the same tabloids declared English soccer the best in Europe. The French sports daily L'Equipe added, ''God is English.'' Message 9796762 Aha! The French press takes the Honorific Mention... that's ok, for the next four years, starting in 1998, they have a special license [to be morons], since they won the World Cup.... since Brasil, "miraculously", played terrible in the final... It's one of those.... "godly things" <g> Sounds like one of those "wonderful press releases" from our beloved bulletin board stock promoters... don't they ??
