Red&Black, thank you and I would love to! GO YOU SWANS!!!! Whose your colors??!

Am from Detroit, but have a lot of friends in numerous countries around the globe and have made it a point to learn a lot of their language, customs, culture, sport, slang, and lifestyle. It's great to get to know them on their level. Provides for deeper friendships and understanding. Of course, my speech/language patterns are insane, literally combining multiple language dialects, vocab., and accents in single sentences. Sometimes even I have no idea what the hell I am saying! Hahaha...

Was in a tipping comp this past season and did next to nothing in Oz Rules (don't get me started on Richmond....never lost when they were supposed to and always won when I tipped off them.... :bad: ), but rocked on Rugby League. Finished second and took the last week to determine. I was the only American in the whole comp and boy did I get bashed! The end-of-season was a different matter however! Are there any MINI2 AFL/NRL comps come season?! I'd love to join!

Wasn't too happy with the Grand Final. Am a Roosters fan. Fitz and Wingo were marvelous, as per usual. Fittler went out on an amazing note. Too bad they didn't get the same level from the rest of the squad.

Cheers!

Ah right! I remember now! I gave you some a while back! Hahaha...

Best night of my life was about 10 years ago in Tokyo. Me and my mate ran into, out of all people in all places, the Sea Eagles!!! They were hanging out at Maccas looking completely clueless and lost. They asked my mate if he knew what the hell was going on, how to get a burger, and if he knew where anything was. I guess they just got off the plane and found what they recognized (golden arches)!!! Of course, my mate was thrilled!!! They gave him and I free tickets to the Manly/Roosters game (off-season) being played and made us their official tour guides for the week!!!

So, fast forward a couple of days and here we are riding around Tokyo with Manly and laughing our asses off at their insane antics with the locals. Every minute they were getting into some sort of trouble and we had to advise them otherwise. Well, everywhere we went, they decided to include more people in the party, so they randomly invited anyone they liked to our travelling caravan of debauchery. Anyone, Japanese, American, English, but they called 'em Poms, hahaha, etc. By the time we boarded a city bus to hit the next pub, we had thirty some strong, half of which we had no idea who they were. After the bus driver threatened to call the police and kick us off the bus because a few of the Sea Eagles thought it nice to whistle and hoot out the window at the local girls and then proceed to try and tip over the bus by rocking it with such violent force I thought we were going down like the Bismarck.

Anywho, to make a long story short, I suggested we hit an All-You-Can-Drink place for AUS$4 an hour, and that was that. Our first order was for 30 pints and half the kitchen. Four hours later, and another 12 people invited to the round table that we didn't know thanks to a Manly player physically accousting the restaurant host and becoming the de facto greeter for the night, we had consumed the entire quantity of house liquor, were well-****ed, and the staff feared they would all be fired when the owner came in the next day to find his loss. As we got up and left to pay our multi-thousand dollar tab, a majority of the Japanese patrons in the same restaurant demanded photos and signatures. It then hit us that only a couple of people in the entire place left during the entire time we were there! They were all enjoying in our glee vicariously!!! Hahaha...

Of course, we left that place to hit another pub and Manly got me smashed even more in exchange for teaching them Japanese pick-up lines. Hahahaha... What a night!

Anyway, sorry for the hijack, let's get back to F1!!!
