That's awesome, and London is one of the greatest cities on Earth, but a free trip to London could still end up being really, really expensive.

Yea, I'm thinking about the spending money issue, that's a potential problem, but I'll figure something out if this goes through.

I would just like to point out -- completely unrelated to the above statement -- that adding salt to pancakes with maple syrup is amazing.

If you're like everyone else, you're skeptical at first, but try it.

I've only consumed alcohol two out of the last seven days. I should get ripped tomorrow to celebrate.

Leftover pizza? Who the fuck has leftover pizza? And who the fuck needs plates? Grab a slice, eat, repeat until the pizza is gone, or you're full, unless it's the second one.

Listening to Denise Richards sing "Take Me out to the Ballgame" wasn't nearly as funny as I had hoped.

Does anyone else still get their MTV fix during commercials? I like that Ray J song "Sexy Ladies." It sure is dumb, but the way they repeat sexy ladies... over and over, can't beat that. Jazmine Sullivan using the Castlevania tune as a part of the track? Major boner! (not the good kind)! What's up with that Ciara video good lord too sexy, budda bow bow bow bown budda bow bow bown

I am having this silly turned serious argument with some Anglophiliacs over here with regard to rugby. My contention is if I could pick players that do not make the NFL or get drafted and had someone coach them up for a year, that that team could win a rugby title. My english-loving friends say I am insane. My contention is that rugby is a relatively simple game so natural ability will be able to take over more quickly.
Any thoughts?

Right, first up. I dinnae ken rugby, and I'll freely admit to studiously ignoring ANY aspect of american football.

Now, the rugby thing. Despite freely not understanding the game, I have been diligently watching 6 nations rugby (the main national tournament in the northern hemisphere, and the biggest competition outside of the heinken cup, which is the club competition) for about 10 years now. One of my best mates back home is a massive rugby fan. My da-in-law is an ex rugby player and staunch fan. You'd think after all this time I would understand rugby. But I don't. Because it is fiercely, fiercely technical.

When do you use hands to tackle. where. What constitutes a turnover. the many illegal behaviours that surround the scrum which cause the referee to restart. there isn't a rolling maul anymore. Why? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS WHAT A ROLLING MAUL IS?

Rugby, as far as I can work it, is all about superlative technical execution within a complex rules framework. And for this reason alone, I'm going with your friends. If you don't believe me, consider the following article on the latest set of rule changes, called Experimental Law Variations, and how it's supposedly killing the game. I draw your attention to phrases like 'full raft of ELVs', suggesting a lot of rules. I know, they're rugby players, so it's hard for them to count, but still.

I'm not saying it's more complex than American Football, but I think it's a mistake to assume that the game is comparatively easy to understand. It's not. And since Rugby Union became fully professionalised, every one of those players is every bit as fit and up to speed on sport science as yer fellas in the NFL draft. so I don't figure they'd stand any better or any worse chance than any other club. and if they went up against the all blacks, they'd be fucked worse than a pig at a pig fucking contest. But that goes without saying. I mean, anyone would.
