It really is that old.

Um. If you say so...I guess.

Sorry, MM, I don't want to influence folk's picks by disclosing too much too early about other players' selections.

@realjohnboy,
I've read the first post now and I can't wait for next Tuesday.

BTW--What's a sh*t-eating frozen grin? I had a very sheltered upbringing.

Today is the 6th. The start of the NFL season is only 4-5 days away! Time for yall to start making your picks. It's a holiday weekend in the states. Some of yall may actually have enough money to go somewhere this weekend.
Please consider getting your picks in.
Thank you.

@spendius,
I don't know any Virgins, Spendius. You need to pick between the Minnesota Vikings and the Cleveland Browns. Also you need to pick between the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. In that game please predict the number of points to be scored by each team.

I'm sorry. A Freudian slip of the finger. I meant Vikings.

I'll wait for Tuesday I think.

You slip your finger in virgins, Spendi?

@Francis,
I have done a time or two. They were nearly all virgins when I was at my most vulnerable. The ones who weren't were either ugly or frightening and one was ostracised for engaging with them.

It took a long while to get as far as that. They wanted kissing for months before you were allowed to hold the lumps on the front of the cardigan and even then only one at once. I could wax lyrical with my nostalgia for the seaside girls of my youth. Tit slapping was unheard of. Now it's in the manuals of how to restore the romance of your marriage.

"Slipping the finger in" as you so crudely put it was only arrived at after a long and tortuous operation and it was usually accompanied by astonishment and afternoons looking into windows, or even display cabinets, of shops retailing gold rings with diamond inserts. Holding hands.

My generation had real honeymoons. The more you try to fake a honeymoon the dafter it looks. I saw one bride recently dressed in white and all the other purity symbols and a chap beside me said that she's had more pricks than a second-hand dartboard.

His Holiness is aware of our vulnerability you know. And he knows we can't protect ourselves.

@spendius,
Your post has the merit of clarity and your evocations make nice memories come to mind.

Yes, I know that we can't protect ourselves.

At least, we can try to choose our sweet prison...

Sorry for my crudeness, I'll try a more florid language next time..

...and maybe try it somewhere else, Francis. This is about NFL football.
You and Spendius can get florid elsewhere, I think.

I think we are chosen with spells, incantations and charms.

There's no need to get shirty john. I was just passing the time until Tuesday. Having a conversation on the way to the game. And I can get a lot more florid than that. The cheer leaders are a part of the game.

I can't understand your fixtures list. What do those numbers mean?
