Picked up the Sports section.. the US OPEN on the front page (tennis).. there was also an additional added section of the sports for US Open.

Are you sure it was US Open (tennis) and not US Open (golf)? It started Thurs. in New York.

oops.. yeah, golf.

too many sports to follow here.. basically everything except soccer.

If it means anything.. the world cup in the Honolulu Advertiser had 'prostitute' specials with sexy girls in the pics at the bottom of the World Cup's page.. I've never seen anything that before in the sports section.. was that specifically for visiting foreigners during the World Cup?

Im a Canadian and I dont like hockey or pretty much any north american sport.


Guess he only likes soccer which was invented in England, which is all good but Jinju is not your typical Canadian obviously. Maybe he failed at all North American sports.

Well seeing as I run a sub 20 minute 5K and a sub 40 minute 10K, I doubt that. I just dont like stupid sports.

You are, of course, talking about how much you run at the mouth.

You are a rude individual. Heres my question. Why it ok for you guys to continually slam soccer but god forbid anyone bash hockey or american eggball. Thats the end of the world, the red line crossed... Give me a break. I dont like North American sports as to me they are boring, some moe than others but still, all of them are pretty much fringe sports with the exception of basketball.

Me? Rude?

*beep* off.

Anyway, I don't care what you bash. An innocuous message board bashfest is fun for all.

When you say run a sub, I picture you wearing a sailor's uniform looking through a periscope barking orders at petty officers.

Jinju, even you must admit that it's understandable that people are annoyed with you, right?

You can only be "annoyed" with Jinju if you take him seriously. I personally think hes a muppet, but he doesnt bother me at all...
