The one that really annoys me is the super loud engine, and the guys that sit at stop lights revving the ever loving shit out of them. If you have to do that to feel like a man then just cut it off and give up.
It's amazing how athletic and in shape, how dexterous professional soccer players are . . . and yet, the game is still so incredibly boring. The massive field size and few scoring opportunities are simply dull. Hockey is often low-scoring, too, so it's not that. Hockey has tight action in a smaller space, with more physical clashes and many more scoring opportunities. If soccer really wanted to take off in the US, they should make the field smaller, add a 2-point scoring line or something. Or a smaller, circular net above the goal cross bar that counts 3 points. Or, add another player - the Rover, who stands in a zone just outside the keeper box and has one of those red playground balls. He can throw it at the opposing players, and if he hits one in the head, that player has to sit out for 2 minutes, his team a man down.
They should just make the goals bigger. A 0-0 regulation time score in a world cup final is just terrible. And it happens all the time. Once teams make the round of 8 there is hardly any scoring anymore because all the teams that are left just start playing super carefully. It sure makes for some shitty viewing.
They should give randoms in the stands laser pointers that are a one-time "call in a drone strike on that player". Like a cross between soccer and battlebots. Skynet Soccer.
Make offsides like hockey and indoor soccer, one simple to understand line, while it still takes some time to get, is much better than this haphazard at best rule. Also take out the penalty box or make it much much smaller. Also allow for more subs. Who thought three subs per a 90 minute game was the best idea?
Word. I thought two decades of ridicule would have made these things a dead fad, but they are still around and plentiful. And you always see them on some lousy little car like a 20-year-old Suzuki Sprint hatchback, hereby making the car MORE comical-sounding by adding the rumbling Coke can exhaust.
@toytoy88 - I was just made aware of one of the best eBay listings ever, and it seems it's been around for years: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jose-Uribe-Giants-Fleer-1990-Baseball-Card-VERY-RARE-/322570611827 This cracks me up. At the music store, I deal with the same type of thing. People will bring in an instrument to sell and claim "it's going for (whatever) on eBay!" and it turns out that it's their listing with a skyrocketed price. We have to have monthly reminders for all our staff to research prices thoroughly and not just trust the customer.
Bwahahaha. Never change feminists, never change. Feminist book store closes from lack of sales, blames white men. Another thing for soccer, I mean other than outright killing the players like some have suggested, is get rid of the diving. Penalize players for that bullshit. Every fan base hates it, and it's embarrassing to watch. Granted, sometimes it's hard for a referee to tell if a dive is real or faked, but there is more than enough obvious ones to start with. I think in theory you can already get a yellow card, but they sure as fuck don't enforce it.
At the endorsement of Tim Ferris I bought a ChiliPad last week and it’s amazing. For those not in the know, it’s a bed pad filled with medical grade tubing where water is circulated thru. It has a thermostat so you can raise the temp up to 110 or down to low 60’s. Essentially you can find your ideal sleep temp and it keeps the temp regulated. Haven’t slept this good since I was a kid.
I made a ghetto version of this for my pillow years ago when I slept in an apartment that had terrible air conditioner. My wife had knee surgery and it came with this bladder attached to a cooler that circulates ice water onto the knee. I put the bladder in my pillow after her knee heeled. I loved my cold pillow. I must get one of these.
Is it $600 worth it though? I would think for that amount you could get some pretty badass fans that would do a lot better job.
