For me -- sports is all about a moment in time -- and once it's gone, I avoid it like an old campsite.
I know that there are people even more fanatic than you -- who will videotape an entire season -- and play it back over the off-season -- but here I invoke the wisdom of Derek -- if your brain cells are capable of enjoying that -- can't they be put to some better use? Nor -- would I ever sit through a play or film just to get to a few parts that really excited me. Fortunately, though, there are some that hold me tight from curtain to curtain. Wilde's "Ideal Husband" is one such play -- "Good, Bad, Ugly" is one such film -- a film where almost every line of dialog is memorable (and I'm not the only one who has memorized many of them) and almost every frame seems to be another Caravaggio painting. Operas are special case -- since I'd rather hear the songs in dramatic context rather than recital -- so I'm willing to endure the downtime. But isn't Mozart the exception? There is no dead space in Don Giovanni, Magic Flute, Abduction etc -- it's one golden moment after another. Shouldn't some special term be used to distinguish these exceptional programs from all the others ? Maybe -- Derek would call them "art" ? I infer you're a football fan, so I ask: How about you? Would you try to recreate the moment any differently? My answer assumed I hadn't watched the event in some years. _____________________________________________________________ Click to get a free auto insurance quotes from top companies. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2211/fc/Ioyw6ijmNj7575hD4hTNPMvSd2GdMI cLj7voOgMjfabaBux4mKgsaI/?count=1234567890
