collapses, it is tradition to fall knee first onto any opposition player unlucky
enough to be beneath you. So, if the scrum does collapse, try not to be the
first player on the ground as plenty of knees will surely follow, usually to
facial environs. However, kicking an opposing player is poor manners and is not
encouraged or applauded. If you get caught kicking someone, you get "an early
shower" (ie sent from the field).If not for rugby, there'd be lots more
violence on the streets. Most of the players are so tired or beaten up by the
end of the game, there's no strength left to fight anyone off the field. And,
anyway, after games are for beer drinking - and lots of it. The aim of
the game is to win by scoring more tries (like a touchdown) and kicking more
goals. The other aim is not giving away penalties by getting caught by the
referee punching, headbutting, biting, eye gouging, or kneeing. It's okay to do
it as long as the referee and linesman don't actually see you do it.I
hope I have given you an insight into rugby. Played in the right spirit, rugby
encourages discipine and manners and fair play in youth playing the game at
schools. |

the best avenue of attack.Macain,seems to be a rare animal.A political animal
who actually cares about the exploitation and suffering of others more than He
cares about his next political pole.He was a North Vietnam P.o.w.I know He's the
real deal!Perhaps a letter of support for what He stands for?|

can a civilized person like yourself condone all that beer drinking after a
close match between two well disciplined teams of drunken,Irish convicts.|
|2/8/06 07:15:21 PM|Steve|N.J.||na||||10|Noam, Just for your personal
edification,MOST decent Irish families have done away with the drinking of
single malt whiskey for all children at breakfast and lunch.I wish that social
rule was in effect when I was growing up!! |
|2/8/06 11:31:19 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Steve, the best whiskey is Jamison's
Irish Whiskey, especially the gold label one. It melts in your mouth, passes
easily over the tonsils, and leaves a honey after taste. The trick is to only
have one or two. |

having a Grandfather from Italy who introduced me to wine and bear when I was
four. Actually, drinking bitter beer at that age is probably the reason why I'm
not a big beer drinker now, so score one for Gramps. But I do like whiskey
sours (Ginny that I am) as well as Drambui and Galliano (not sure about those
spellings). |
|2/9/06 12:29:51 PM|Orange Juice|Lake Winnebago||SPOT||||7|I like to drink
orange juice. My favorite orange juice is Tropicana. I also like Minute Maid.
Sometimes I drink 3 o4 glasses a day to keep up my strength. Orange juice is a
good juice, especially after a long day digging ditches. You know who else
liked orange juice? Muhammad Ali. He still drinks 48-60 oz a day. Here is to
Orange Juice!|
|2/9/06 02:24:39 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron||||10|Orange Juice is very
good but too high in calories---stick with 8 oz. a day or less if possible.
Grapefruit or Grape Juice or even Apple Juice give you some of the same
benefits. The purple grape juice is supposed to be healthy---some of the same
benefits as red wine without the alcohol. |
|2/9/06 02:25:27 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron||||10|Noam, in any of the
Ali biographies you've read, did it make reference to him liking orange juice?
I don't remember hearing that.|
|2/9/06 02:27:31 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron||||10|Kent: Do boxers train
with Orange Juice as part of the diet, or is it too acidic? I think the pre-
fight program of Norton vs. Shavers showed him having breakfast. I'll try to
remember to watch it again, but I think he did have orange juice, along with six
eggs and other stuff. OJ started a good discussion. Thanks.|
