In some schools in Cali you can take "action" sports such as Surfing,
Skateing/aggressive inline, and Snowboarding.
I wish we had these sports when I was in High School.
The naming is all backwards. If the name ends in "Ball" you won't _have_ one.
If the name ends in "Board", then you won't _be_.
It works for any sport. If it ends in "ball" then the game sucks.
RacketBALL? Boaring. Squash, Badmitten, Tennis, All fun fun fun.
FootBALL (Socker)? wake me up when the moms start serving oranges. Hockey?
Fast action.
BaseBALL? Long drawn out excuse to drink bear, eat penuts, and study
statistics. Cricket? Well If your going to do the long and drawn our thing,
then you might as well do it right.
FootBALL (American)? Are they going to play the damb game, or just keep
getting in the little line? They keep stoping to go ask the geezer on the
sideline what they should do next. You would think they don't even know the
rules. Rugby? Real acation.
BasketBALL? Watch the last 2 minutes, if one team is more than 10 points
ahead the game is over, if not, it might be interesting to see which team is
better at timeing it so that they have the ball right before the buzzer.
Lacross (Native Rules)? Can you have more fun? No buzzer, not time limmit,
you either give up or you play untill you can no-longer score.
But we've coverd that before. It's probably a bore. I've said it once, now
I've said it again, I won't say it any more. You can't walk out cuz there's
no door. But you don't have to be sore. Just stop your reading, and your
complaining, I know my ryming skils are poor. 87P
