I will readily admit any state secrets and other things I may or may not have done if I hear that song again.

I just do the head bob to the side thing while sexually assaulting women on the dance floor.

I'd rather talk about something else now.

Been trying meditation as of late; I think it's being too effective on me, I almost dozed off during the session today.

So my sister and the girls left for their spring break trip this afternoon--it's upsetting now, but one day my niece will realize that the TSA keeps us all safe from 12 year old girls bringing their lacrosse sticks on airline flights.

Is that like auto-hypnosis?  I did that in a mental hospital once.  They said they never had a "client" (that's what they call patients), every try to do that, and that the staff was never so scared in their lives.

It kind of is. It's one of the few alternative medicine things that does have some merit. Turn off your thought process and focus it on something white and empty. Like derspiess, in your case. (Just kidding, but yeah, it works. But I find it kind of hard to too, because there's always something rumbling around in my brain, and apologies to Spicey).

Lol Maryland "lax."  One of my close friends is a Carroll County native who got to college on a lacrosse scholarship.  Now he's a brain surgeon.

EDIT:  Sorry about your nieces of course.  You'd think BWI would have X'd out lacrosse stick signs all over the place.

When I played rugby, we called lacrosse players soccer fags with sticks.

TSA has changed the rules on lacrosse sticks about 4 times since 9/11.  And it's not even a full size stick, or even women's length;  it's a shitty little youth stick.  #ISISLAX

'Cause rugby isn't some upper-class twat sport.

It is a 'barely anybody plays' sport over here so no I don't think so.

I don't know if they have the same connotations in America, or throughout America.  In my college experience, rugby was the "excuse to binge drink in a masculine environment for guys who were too intellectually-oriented and out-of-shape to play football but still didn't mind getting a little hurt" sport when I was in college. 

Most of their time was spent planning, executing, and cleaning up beer busts, and it was only a "club" sport in American university terminology i.e. more than intramural (they played other schools) but without the backing of the Athletics Dept, meaning mainly no money, definitely no scholarships.  And there was women's rugby, which might have been more popular and involved non-stop drinking,

Whereas lacrosse was a full-fledged Tier Whatever sport for which they sent recruiters across Delawhere and Murrland (New England and Jersey and Long Island too, of course) trying to scoop up the local talent by dangling offers in front of them. 

So in my college experience, the average rugby player was a sort of an effete John Belushi, generally very welcoming to all types; while the average lacrosse player was a lean, mean stick-wielding machine, very clannish in only hanging out with other lax bros and the women that naturally gravitated towards such alpha males.

Not really, it's a way to focus your mind and reduce stress, by focusing on your body and your surroundings. It works a bit too well on me... Doesn't help that the instructor has a really relaxing voice.

I almost got a job the other day.  Night shift at a motel.  A little too Norman Batesy so I declined.

Do you prefer to murder people in a less cliche environment?
