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?

I can happily say I have never killed anyone nor intend to do so.

This is why immigrants are taking all the jobs.

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

It is, in rugby countries. SW of France is pretty horrendous in this aspect.

  Saying this is always a good policy.  Legal problems start piling up when you say otherwise.

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.

This is a much more realistic definition, at least in the early 1990's. 

Club sport = we ran our own practices if the coach was stuck in traffic on his way from his day job.
Saturday night after matches = somebody broke the beer bong, so we took the hose off your detachable shower head.

Although the beat down we delivered on your alma mater during a 4 team tourney was one of the greatest sports team moments of my life.  It was righteous and just.

CB and I are members of the Foosaner Art Museum here in Melbourne Florida.  Last night they had the opening gala for a new exhibit; "Touching Strangers."  The photographer, Richard Renaldi, has complete strangers (both to him and to one another) pose for him while touching.  I didn't get it either.  I'm guessing this is the boundary where performance art and photography meet but, since I don't have a humanities degree, I don't feel bad if I am misunderstanding the artist's intent completely ().  Anyhow CB and I were, as usual, the only people at the gala not old enough to collect Social Security.  Three women of a certain age were in the gallery ahead of us; they stopped in front of a photograph and all started giggling and whispering.  It was a photograph taken at a nude beach of a nude man and a topless woman.  We couldn't get close to the photograph because the women just kept standing there still giggling and whispering to one another.  So you're never too old to belong in junior high.

I want 'Every President is Hitler: Modern American History'

[Jaron]

Bernie Sanders is a Democratic Socialist.

Adolf Hitler was a National Socialist.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Donald Trump is a national disgrace, ain't stopping him.
