Thanks for the gun hijack.

I've been thinking of buying a new weapon. I want something that would make Euros scream in agony if they even had the testicular fortitude to even gaze at such a weapon.

vM could do it, but I did.  I was just fixing the forum settings again, as I had changed them a month or so ago because of Alci's huge animated Predator/Duck Hunt sig.

Not a semi-auto and not a large magazine capacity, but here's a good long vid of one of the rifles I own that I absolutely love to shoot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZaVKAuff54

MAS-36, caliber 7.5x54mm.  Light on the recoil, odd bolt design, but I still love it.  Note: the thing sticking out below the barrel in this vid is the bayonet, which pulls out by pressing a small button, which then allows it to lock into place in the same position.

Hockey sucks on TV but is fun in person.  Same exact thing with baseball.

The only sport that's as good on TV (as long as the commentators aren't too annoying) as being there in person is American football.

Many years ago an American network, Fox, started to show hockey games. In order to make the game more easy to follow for American viewers, Fox pioneered a system where they put some kind of tag inside the puck so that on TV it would show a red streak trailing behind it, so people could see it easier.

Why do Americans love football, Euros love soccer, Indians loce cricket?

It's cultural.

Incidentally I think football is better on tv than in person (though I do love to catch a CFL game in person now and then) - too many lulls in the action in person that can be filled in by replays on TV.

Nah - the nice thing about curling in person is it is usually played with multiple sheets going at once.  If you don't like one game, you can swivel your head over to another.  With TV you're stuck with whichever game the broadcasters want to show you.

That being said curling is a much better sport to play than it is to watch.  Though I'm always amazed to watch the Brier - DAMN those guys are good...

No, hockey is fun on tv and in person, but baseball is crap no matter where.  That's my worst souvenir of a trip to Boston, seeing the Red Sox and the Blu Jays.  In fact, none of us could stand the game 'til then end.

I've attended a football game, many baseball games, a couple boxing matches, and a few basketball games.   All of them are better to watch on TV unless you have primo seats.   Football in particular is well suited for TV because you need the instant replay to see what you missed.

However I do agree with Cal about the hanging out aspect of a baseball stadium.   It's sort of like going to the county fair.  Or something.

edit: Oh yeah, and one hockey match.  That one sucks both in person and on TV.
