Well fine not "anyone" but it seems to be more of a kids sports, hence the name "soccer mom". To me at least it doesen't seem that much different then kickball and vollyball.

A random question: Why is american football called football? it's mostly played with the hands.

[Korot 6]

6484. 'Cause you run with your feet, not with your hands.

[Vahr 341]

Honestly I've been confused about that too lol. And larks, its only seen as a "kiddy" sport in the US (much to lot of people's disgust - including me and quite a few of my friends)

And really we haven't gone anywhere with this.

Well, we could always discuss something else.

For instance, my property tax bill came in the mail yesterday. Yay!

[Skimbo 304]

6487

The tax bill is always too high, isn't it?

[Korot 6]

6488. Taxes.. I'm so glad I don't have to pay them (yet).

[Muck308 55]

6489

Taxes. I don't have much to say about them. I pay them and move on with my life.

@muck: you should look if you pay more than you have to, this can easily happen.

[Korot 6]

6491. Well, that just means that you have to carefully check the bill, but that's about it.

[Muck308 55]

6492

Well of course I check, but in the case of local tax... they leave the math up to me in the first place.

[Skimbo 304]

6493

okay then..... I thought you do not do that.

[Duke87 1,070]

The interesting thing is that I don't own land. I'm paying property tax on my car. Quirky Connecticut thing... you pay property tax on cars and boats.

[Muck308 55]

6495

That's weird. I figured you bought a house.

[Larks2242 251]

6496.

Odd, i'm glad i don't have to pay taxes!

[Skimbo 304]

6497 But you will have to, Larks

[Duke87 1,070]

(6498)

You already do, Larks, whenever you buy something. Sales tax!

[Larks2242 251]

6499.

[Vahr 341]

6500

Yay we're half way to 7000

[Duke87 1,070]

(6501)

I thought we were halfway to 7000 at 3500.

BL: You had to know that Duke wouldn't let that go without a comment!

Get this. I actually opened SC4 today. It's been a few months. I was sick of listening to the same old crap, so I set up my computer for a few hours and changed the songs on my iPod. Then I opened SC4 and snapped a few pics so I can do a close on my cj. I should have the final update up tonight... maybe.

I miss using my own computer.

[Vahr 341]

6503

Blah I mean from 6000 to 7000

And speaking of SC4, now that I have my new laptop I'm able to play SC4 more often, since it doesn't take 6 minutes just to load the thing and another 3 to load a city or the parks menu.

The Bruins lost congrads to the Gamecocks champions of the world! Good day at Rosenblatt.

College sports? Meh, whatever.

(yes, I know college football and basketball are popular in most of America, but here in the Northeast no one gives a damn)

[Muck308 55]

6506

I second that.

For the record... I had way more than enough berries for a pie. It was yummy.

[Korot 6]

6507. College sports? Is there anything less interesting?

[Larks2242 251]

6508.

Yes, Korot there is Soccer.

@ Duke Not even March madness????

[Skimbo 304]

6509

@Larks: I would have said Baseball.

[Vahr 341]

6510

I have to admit both baseball and soccer are interesting (to me).

But of course, the most interesting sport in the world is...

...

Wait for it...
