Pangloss: It's D-Day, old chap.

I apologize for being out of the loop a bit. I've been laid up the past few days with one hell of a sprained ankle.

Anyway, if memory serves, our dear Rosaline's last day is tomorrow. Have you made the final assault, yet? If not, I believe the original plans designated today as D-Day.

Request update, alpha leader.

Bravo out.

You read my mind, old bean. I was getting ready to make a post as soon as I've been up to see her again. The situation is, however, looking sweet.

I spent last week dropping in every now and then, never more than twice a day, to collect mail, send faxes etc. Fixed her computer a few times too. This week, as you suggested, the vists have lasted slightly longer. We have covered some serious ground; everything from the films of The Coen Brothers to Plato's 'shadows'. She is remarkably well-read.

Things up to yesterday were improving beyond all expectation. I went up yesterday afternoon (Wednesdays are slow here) and asked, with all due 'casual interestedness', if she would like to come to the common room and have coffee with me. I got lucky, and we spent just over an hour chatting. This morning, I went up and told her that I really enjoyed coffee yesterday and wondered if she would like to take a risk and have dinner with me tomorrow night.

And she does. I am taking her to a little Italian place tomorrow night. There is a little cinema (very small, shows weird indy stuff and world cinema) near the restaurant and, by happy coincidence, it is showing 'Cinema Paradiso' tomorrow night. If you have seen it, you will know that it is a masterpiece of intelligent slush. Magnificent film.

So there you go. Things are looking up at this end. Thanks for the advice of the week before last, it has worked well.

Damn. What film is that from? Some guys says that you should masturbate before you go out with a chick for the first time, the other guy doesn't get it and asks why. The response is something like "because going out without masturbating is like sitting there with a loaded gun"

Anyway. I think I'll respect her privacy for a while, at least. I don't know how I'd get pics at this stage.

"Hey Rosaline, here's fun: There's this forum on the internet and I post there a lot. Really cool people, but all sick and fucked up in as many ways as you can think of. They'd love it if I were to post some pics of you. They'd shit if I were to post some pics of you in various states of undress..."

Think I may have to leave that one for a while

Essentially, yes. That's pretty much the essence of soccer, isn't it? That's what I get for playing a girlie, European sport.

Well, your honesty impresses me. Although you have forced me to swallow any sympathy I was going to give you (you would like to force me to swallow things, wouldn't you?). Soccer is, as you say, a girlie European Sport. I suppose this assertion of yours would have nothing to do with the fact that you Americans are terminally shit at it? No, didn't think so. You'd all much rather play games in which the objective is not to score points, but to administer as much physical damage to other people as possible. In the race for intelligence, you people certainly seem to be way ahead of the competetion. Baseball is another sport worthy of mention too. Although I couldn't say too much about it really; the only time I went to a game, I'm afraid I fell asleep. I'm sure it held others interest for slightly longer though...

Oh, and by the way...nice execution of the battle plan. Very glad to hear that everything worked out. To quote a wise old American strategist:

"I love it when a plan comes together."

Don't forget, you owe her a good Caging, on my behalf. And don't forget, most good Caging's involve anal sex...and the best of them involve doing the giving, not the receiving.

I know that's probably uncharted territory for you, but I've heard that the mechanics of doing it to a woman are pretty much the same as doing it to a sheep, so you should be fine.

She's helluva nice.

If I were welsh, I'd be insulted. Unfortunately, we Irish don't go in for the sheep shagging. There are a few sexual deviants here who fuck potatoes, but alas I am not one. I'm impressed at the extent of your knowledge on the subject though. Do you have friends who fuck sheep, or is this an area of private research for you? Perhaps this is why you shave your nutsack?

No, that's too perverse to even think about. Forget I raised the issue (again).

I shall certainly give her a good Caging at some point, although I doubt that getting fucked in the ass and called a whore is going to get me a second date. Do you find you get many relationships which last beyond the first night?

As far as soccer goes, I prefer playing it to playing football. However, I'd rather watch a football game.

We are getting better at soccer. It wasn't too long ago that we realized that soccer was the last thing in which other countries could claim superiority over us. (Or perhaps we just didn't realize how much import those other countries seemed to place on such a seemingly insignificant distinction.) Since then, we have been steadily getting better. It is only a matter of time until we are the leading superpower in that, as well. Remember, we're still a fairly young country, relatively speaking.

As far as defending baseball goes, I'm the wrong man. I hate playing it and enjoy watching it even less. However, I will say that the longer baseball games go on for several hours, while I understand that cricket games can go on for several painful days. (For my other thoughts on cricket, see my submission on the Supply the Punchline IV thread.) And yes, I have had it pointed out that baseball seems to have been derived from a British girl's game called "rounders". Yes, I too find that funny.

Oh, and it seems that the idea of "sport" has historically been derived from the simulation of life skills, such as foot races, archery, wrestling, etc. In that vein, it seems that one could make the case that sports that involve the inflicting of damage and attempts to physically overpower one's opponent make slightly more sense than ones that involve trying to put some irrelevant little ball past some other guys who can't really touch you, and into some irrelevant net.

The kiss clips at the end of "Cinema Paradiso" are wonderfully warm and gushy at the same time. *Great* date movie!

On the other hand, one could argue that you are talking through your ass and in that vein, request that you go eat a dick.

To clarify, while many sports, particularly those with some 'history' have been dervived from the simultion of life skills, the objective in most cases is not the application of brute strength to beat one's opponent. Rather, the methodology encouraged in almost all of these cases is that of superior strategy and planning. In other words, it's a contest of minds and intelligence, and not of 'who's got the biggest muscles'. Boxing, wrestling etc. are obvious exceptions, but it may be argued that with two opponents of similar strength and size, it is intelligence and instinct which wins.

As for Americans being the sporting greats of the world, that is one hell of a comment to make. And one which you may be forced to eat when the states puts in yet another mediocre performance in the impending Olympic games in Sydney. Just because you have up to tenfold the population of any other country does not make you great. In comparison with the rest of the world, on a 'population for population' basis, you are actually quite weak.

Even though youre Brit you should note the basic use of grammar.

On a related topic, football of any culture is a waste of time, energy, and network broadcasting.

Of course I have an innate knowledge of all things, sheep fucking. I have a fair bit of Scottish blood in me. (And about an equal amount of Irish, too. So there.) Millennia of evolution is not so easily undone.

Obviously, Caging is something best put off until at least the third date, when dealing with classy broads. However, since she has agreed to dinner with the likes of you, you could probably swing it on the second date.

Unfortunately, my talent for devising assault plans was not realized until I was several years into my current relationship, thus I have never really had opportunity to enjoy the fruits of my talent. So, it seems that I am attempting to live vicarously through some faceless drunkard across the pond.

Please excuse me...I have to go place my head in the oven, now.
