Context my man. The comment followed one of his typical diatribes against American foreign policy. His tone was arrogant. He seemed to be caught off-guard by the question, irritated by it and dismissive in his answer ... like he could care less... definitely more of the latter. I'm not sure that it bothered me; I described it as odd. It stood out awkwardly. I'm not sure where you are going with this but... GO FRANCE! COWARDS IN WAR, FIRST IN FOOTBALL.
We'll see... Vince McMahon defiled pro football in this country so anything is possible with him. I guess if the widows were promoting another wrestling federation McMahon might allow someone to take the gloves off. However, you have concocted a highly unlikely scenario. No. I may be over-reacting to his remark, but there's always more revealed in the audio than in the transcript. Yeah, Daniel Scorr--- thanks for the spelling lesson. The way it came off was the he didn't give a rat's ass about the World Cup (which is fine) but that now that he was informed that two Old World powers were competing he could feign some interest. What motivates that? I have no idea and it struck me as very odd. I'm not familiar with that comment. The thread invites people to post odd things they've heard so why not post it? Maybe you'll get the chance to defend your criticism of it wrapped around a couple of cheap shots fired your way?
His remark isn't all you are over-reacting to. but as rimbaud said... "but you are giddy so there you are."
Aren't you one of the ones who is always instructing other people to not make stuff personal? Try practicing what you preach...
Your father-in-law's lying. He loves JITB tacos and just doesn't want to admit it. I mean, seriously, how could you not like them?
How was my comment that 2k quoted personal? Is "giddy" not part of your moniker? Did you not start a thread about taking issue with a comment about the World Cup? Should I have said "you are not giddy and you are not here"? I can if you would like.
This whole thread is rather odd and puzzling. I'm sure that Daniel Schorr would be astounded that his throw away remark abotu the World Cup would generate this kind of controversy. And in what universe could it possibly be interpreted as un-american? Wait, I didn't capitalize american, I must be an america hater.
The thread was about Schorr's comment. You (and others) preferred to make it, in part at least, about me. That is personal. All this is very cute but it's a waste of time. If you don't want to go with the flow of the thread that's fine but leave out the personal jabs, attacks, and however else you want to characterize them. BTW, tell R2K the poster who is "posting here but who does not care" to leave me out of it. I could have titled the thread something bashing about Schorr's comment. I saw it as something "odd"-- notice the thread title. The thread title invites others to post like things that they found peculiar. My title is not a particularly incriminating description... but it has been all downhill from there.
To specifically answer your question giddyup, I don't think he meant anything by it. It's an easy statement to misconstrue, but in this case I honestly think Shore (Shorr?) was just saying that he was glad the title was going to go to a European country. Why he wants a European to win, I really don't care.
No J-i-t-Bs up here, you just made me cry. My left arm for a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger and some seasoned curly fries.
"I'm tight on time" http://news.netscape.com/viewstory/.../adam-carolla-hangs-up-on-coulter/&frame=true (Listen to the audio) ADAM CAROLLA: Ann Coulter, who was suppose to be on the show about an hour and a half ago, is now on the phone, as well. Ann? ANN COULTER: Hello. CAROLLA: Hi Ann. You’re late, babydoll. COULTER: Uh, somebody gave me the wrong number. CAROLLA: Mmm… how did you get the right number? Just dialed randomly — eventually got to our show? (Laughter in background) COULTER: Um, no. My publicist e-mailed it to me, I guess, after checking with you. CAROLLA: Ahh, I see. COULTER: But I am really tight on time right now because I already had a — CAROLLA: Alright, well, get lost.
"Listen, you b****. Don't call in an hour and half late and then tell me 'you're tight on time'. Of course you're tight on time you're an hour and a half ******* late calling in a radio show. Just take your crappy book and go pitch it to your stupid cable outlet." - AC AWESOME!
"I'm Tight On Time" means "I snorted my entire quarter ounce of blow and I'm looking for my dealer" in the CokeWhoreEse language......
