Random Rants #XXIV - The Angry Mob

[Arakhor]

How did you both figure that out?

It's like guessing that I like fantasy and various sci-fi series. We Aspies tend to be fairly obvious in what we like

And here, they do the 3 worst sports - Cricket, Tennis and Badminton.

I always had to settle for cricket, football and rugby, WIM. I can't throw for toffee, I have two right feet and I'm built like a stick. You can see how that went over.

 

[W|M]

For some reason, I got a LOT better at football this year, and having me go on the pitch is a big moral-booster (it helps that I'm known as Jesus). I'm pretty decent at rugby as well, though I'm not exactly bulky, I AM very reckless.

In that case, PE in the US must suck, because it's awesome here in snowy sweden.

 

[W|M]

I hate the 'Temperate' climate here...

I live in Australia.

There's an expectation that you have to be good at sport, or at least be enthusiastic about it, otherwise you're looked down upon.

Or maybe it's just that you swim on your free time in a club.

 

[Love]

Well, maybe... Plus i have an awesome PE teacher.

 

[Yared]

And also you probably don't get as exhausted since you're a swimmer.

 

[Tee Kay]

I was a fairly competent swimmer but I'm useless at land sports.

 

[Love]

Well but no, I'm in lousy shape, it's just that I find PE fun.

I wish I knew Dennis Haysbert. Or just his email, even. He's my favorite actor.

Organized sport + peer pressure + popularity contest + being forced to participate + treating it as an academic subject all in all makes for a crap experience.

Organized sport, have your own opinion. Popularity contest? I fail to see how that happens, but again, your opinion.

Being forced to participate? Well, it's a subject in school. You can sit out, just like you can choose to not write an english essay. Same consequences... Don't like doing sports but forced to take PE? Personally, I HATE math, and had to take it to first year university, so I can sympathize.

It is 100% an academic subject. There is a LOT more to learning than "read book" + "listen to prof" + "regurgitate facts on test". The experiential learning through doing is incredibly important aspect of a general physical education class, never mind the fact that very few PE classes stick to just playing sports all day (as fun as that would be), but go into health, lifestyle, and rules as well. Things I've learned in Gym class have overlapped with things I've learned in Biology class as well. And I'm also a university Kinesiology & Physical Education major, through the sciences - basically, expanding on the things you did/learned in gym class, and going into detail about how it affects every realm of life.

Because the sink has unwashed dishes in it, Mom ordered padre to lock up all the cabinets and the fridge, as well as disconnected all cooking devices. Well then, if they think I'm just going to cave in...

They're wrong. There will be war. I'm not going to make this easy because I won't let this be precedent "starve the kids and they'll do whatever we want HEEHEE!" NO. NEVER. I will be sure to make their lives hell before caving in to demands.

Time to turn the Home into Home Alone.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I sincerely hope you are joking.

Also, why the hell is this forum starting to resemble that unnameable imageboard?

If you can find any, drink all the alcohol!

 

[Arakhor]

I sincerely hope you are joking.

I am in utter agreement.

Yeah! 'Cause that's what all the cool kids do!

Are you seriously considering doing this?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Rant: Oooooh. My Italian friend told me about his trip to Japan. And he saw soooo much cool stuff there.

I want it I want it. ;__;

King Kazma plushies... do want.

Why must America's merchandise industry suck?

I sincerely hope you are joking.

Maybe I am, maybe I am not.

I don't approve of coercion being used when a "Hey, could you please do the dishes?" could suffice.

Turns out it was entirely Dad's idea, inspired by Mom's complaint about them.

Well then padre. *sticks a candy cigar in his mouth* We'll see how much winning fair lady's heart is to you. En guarde!

They don't store their alcohol in a secure location, so I know where it is. I have no taste in alcohol though apart from wine. Which I haven't even tried.
