[T-6005]

I wonder how many people call it baby-foot, honestly.

[Paint_It_Black]

That guy is an idiot. You clearly should have been born at least 500 years ago.

Exactly. Victorian England a manor house with servants to bear the price of your ancient quips.

[T-6005]

Americans usually call it foosball. It's just table soccer.

Also possibly Jitz or gettone, according to wikipedia.

Table football if you ask me

Blah blah blah, I don't care what you've been doing with your friends. But I can completely picture you in 18th and 19th century clothes, that shiny lipstick of yours, lots of blush, curly hair and a body for rent.

[Preocupado]

hmmm it's not there, but i didn't write that list. Now i'm curious... I think it must be Metegol or Taca.

[Andy]

Haha, "BabyFoot". What gloriously shit name.

[Andy]

Syphilis is almost 500 years old, I still have no respect for that.

[T-6005]

syphilis is a disease, babyfoot is a sport.
Game, rather.

And Andy, it doesn't sound quite as pathetic when said in French. Completely different pronounciation.

[T-6005]

If I knew the answer to why table soccer is called a game instead of a sport, I'd sell it on eBay and be a rich, rich man. People would pay for wisdom like that.

In short, I don't know.

[Andy]

spotted the diff?
There's a difference?

And Table Tennis is a sport because it takes actual physical exertion to play. With Table Football, you just....stand there.

Blah blah blah, I don't care what you've been doing with your friends. But I can completely picture you in 18th and 19th century clothes, that shiny lipstick of yours, lots of blush, curly hair and a body for rent.

Hahahahaha, almost missed that!

[Sin Studly]

hahaha! remember, always say you picture me as a whore! like that you'll feel more secure you teen! hahaha!

I've no reply for you, I'm just quoting your reply for posterity next time you have a menstruel hissyfit and delete your posts.

[Sin Studly]

Learn to not post in the first place, and save yourself the trouble of deleting your retarded crap.

[killer_queen]

Of course I have.

One day, I was shopping with a friend of mine. I was wearing a mini jean skirt and a pink top. My lips were covered with a pink lip gloss which was shining and I had mascara on my eyelashes. My hair was shaped perfectly and I felt so pretty. And I said I didn't want to live in a small city and she said I ought to have born in a bigger city. That's all.

[JoY]

I know a friend of mine definitely should've been born at least a 100 years ago, if not that amount of time doubled. e-ve-ry-thing modern is not made for her & she can't enjoy it. the only things she enjoys, is drawing/doing creative stuff with her hands, Latin & dancing around like an idiot.
