 [For once, Conan wasn't here with questions about measuring the effects of magic with science or applying deductive reasoning to any of the many mysteries here. Today, he had a very different question in mind.]

I've gotten curious about something recently. Does anyone else here play soccer?  And does anyone have any ideas on where the best place to practice would be? I know there aren't any fields here, but somewhere with a lot of open space might work. A long wall without anything breakable nearby would work too.

You mean football?

[ Only Orange Star calls it soccer (incorrectly). ]

Re: Video

[spoilsfun]

In Japan and America it is called soccer.

[commandandcontrol]

...I know [ In that she knows its called that in other places. ]

I was being a brat.

[spoilsfun]

You weren't doing a very good job of it.

[commandandcontrol]

Well, I have to disagree there, because the point of being a brat is to annoy people, and you look plenty annoyed.

...what's "soccer"?

[spoilsfun]

Are you serious?

[peridiot]

Would I have asked if I wasn't?

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

I'm just trying to figure out how someone could not know what it is. In some other countries it is called football. Have you heard of that?

[peridiot]

No.

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

Do you know of any kind of sport?

[peridiot]

What's a "sport"?

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

An athletic competition.

[peridiot]

Why would anyone do that? It sounds like a waste of time.

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

You can't call something a waste of time if you've never even heard of it before.

[peridiot]

Yes I can. It's a total misdirection of a warrior's abilities. No respectable Quartz would waste their time doing "sports". Their energies are best put towards expanding the Great Diamond Authority.

And how is that going for you?

Pretty great, thanks! We're the greatest empire in the universe!

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

By whose reckoning?

[peridiot]

By everyone's! What are you, stupid?!

video; if they don't kill each other first

[spoilsfun]

When someone says that everyone says a thing, its usually an inaccurate generalization.

[peridiot]

If you must know, we are the greatest empire in the universe by area.

And we have the best warriors and the smartest scientists and the greatest leaders.

So that makes us the best.

Duh.

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

Since you're a member of this so-called empire of course you would say that.

[peridiot]

Hmph!! No matter what I say you're going to argue with me!

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

So you do have some observational skill after all.

video;

[peridiot]

I have observed that "soccer" only creates brats!!!

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

Pulling from one data point is very poor observational technique.

video;

[peridiot]

I'm working from the data that I had, which you would too if you were a scientist and not a bratty little Earth boy!

Re: video;

[spoilsfun]

Are you really a scientist?
