A question to those of you from Football-first nations. In the U.S, baseball was the number 1 sport for almost a century. Because of this, English on this continent has adopted many words from baseball. "ballpark estimate", "Struck out", "Ill take a rain check", "I got to third base last night," it was out of left field", "He got a bad charlie horse", " The figure is in the ballpark", "that was bush league", "time to step up to the plate", "I covered my bases", "let's touch base", "she's out of your league", he got thrown a curve", "not ready for the majors", and many many more....What words or idioms have derived from football?

L4D was the shiz. Killing zombies was fun... pity that knobend who Derren Brown paid to act in apocalypse isn't me because I'd whip out a shotgun and shoot all the "zombies" that are actually people with their faces painted making rather weird gruntin noises like they are being sucked off by the hoover.

Man it feels so good to have power back.

my family and I are fine, power was out monday at 7pm. went while day yesterday doing nothin really just charging phones at friends house, and trying to savr the food by pytting bags of Ice.

wherr i live all that happnd was power outage some branches fell in our backyard, no trees (thank God). places like Little ferry anf Moonachie and Hoboken and Jersey City were hit the hardest i think the Jersey shore goes with out saying whats happnd there, its been devastating.

I'vr had no school Monday til today, pretty sure they will call again and shut school down for the week, no point really in showing up for thursday and friday.

Otherwise, im just hoping we fukin take it to them Manure cunts today even at 11v12,,and go on and win the CO Cup.

I just watched literally the worst movie I've ever seen, and judging by the comments I'm not alone. It's called Zombie Nation, it's an absolute abomination. To be fair the beginning wasn't the worst, but by the end it got so bad it wasn't even funny, although I did chuckle a bit out of atrocity. And to think this filmmaker has been making and selling films for over 30 years now, it's a fucking enigma. Only a select few of his creations have got past the magical 2/10 score on IMDb.

Troll 2 is Godfather compared to it.
