  7. @cGt2099,
    Damn part-time employment agencies. I told the Jedi Council that if they subcontracted that they'd get all sorts getting in through the backdoor. I swear, the J.C. might be all Empire this and Republic that but at the end of the day it still boils down to anything to save a buck.

    Honestly pirating the system is so tiring these days; nobody seems to have standards anymore.

    I don't know why I bother.

  15. I used to play golf on a course that was absolutely overrun with roo's. It wasn't too unusual to have to whack a roo four or five times with a golf club simply to get it to move far enough that you could swing. I've always had more trouble with possums myself... do not stand between a possum and the nearest food source..
    They missed the convicts though, as several American friends of mine say..

    "think yourself lucky that we (America) got the puritans and you got the convicts.."

  17. whatever cgt. i KNOW for a fact your cowboys ride on roos. i've seen it with my own eyes. and i know you have roos chilling in the livingroom.

    as for supporting the underdog, well, that's clear in that you still have a rugby team that hasn't been kicked out of the country yet.

    and the difference between american world series' of sport and the rest of the world's, is that other countries invite other nations to partake in them...

    ok, i'm just taking the mickey. just having a little fun. no hard feelings...
