How much money will Tintin and War Horse gross?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

Rugby

American Football

It's the same!

[Quintus 6,496]

I love how touchy yankies dig deep holes for themselves with this.

They should rename it poncey-armoured handball and be done with it.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

they are not the same Stefan, not even remotely, both are specialized. At least in Rugby and football the players can use their arms.

They are a bunch of nancy-boys, aren't they...

In football you are not allowed to use your arms or hands to handle the ball, unless you are a goal keeper.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

the same!!!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

If you have ever handled these balls, you would know they were very different..

Did you ever handle balls, Joe?

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

Awesome But i would call the second 'Handwatermelon'

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I know, the yellow one I'm allowed to use my hands on.

the white one hardly ever scores.

I've handled balls before Stefan, I've shot free throws poorly, I used to have ok touch from the top of the key outside the 3pt line.

I've picked off a pass and scored a td. I've rushed for td's and I've even caught a 60 yard td pass. That all was along time ago.

I've even played soccer but never scored. As to the enuendo, naturally. Like the rugby, football, soccer ball and basketball, I can supply pictures of those too.

Ok, you were a defender?

Please do.

This picture presents a very infantile method of believing how sports should be named.

In "football" (soccer), the foot controls the ball. Ok. But the goalie stops the ball with whatever he wants. Handball. Anythingball. Notwiththehandsball.

In American (and Canadian) football, yes, the foot is only used to deliver the ball into play at the start of a half, to score points between the uprights, or to give the ball to the other team at a change of possession. Thse moments are fleeting and take very little time, if any, off of the clock. The rest of the time, the ball is clutched in the hands. Contact with the foot is a dead ball, stoppage in play. Handball. Clutchball. Passball. The ball is not a melon or egg just because it looks like one, any more than a soccer ball is a testicle because it looks like one.

Baseball. The ball isn't supposed to touch the bases or it jumps into foul territory or up into players' faces. It's hit with the bat. Batball. It's caught in a glove. Gloveball. It's thrown by a pitcher. Pitchball. Handball. It's spat on by nasty pitchers. Spitball. Curveball. Fastball. Seamball. Leatherball.

Basketball. They used to use peach baskets, but now they use nets mounted on hoops. Hoopball. Netball. Players use their hands to pass and shoot. Handball. Dribbleball. Passball. Shootball. Orangeball. The shoes squeak on the hardwood. Squeakball.

Hockey? They use a puck, not a ball.

But field and street hockey can use balls instead of pucks, but they retain the name "hockey" because the rules are largely the same. Should they rename it to puckball, stickball, bladeball, goalieball, iceball, etc.?

Tennis. Racquetball is something else entirely. The ball is green, let's call it greenball. Wilson makes the ball, let's play Wilsonball. They use a net. Netball. Love is a starting score. Loveball.

Volleyball. Players volley for serve. But they also spike. Spikeball. There is a net. Netball. They use their hands. Handball. They play in the sand. Sandball. The women play in skimpy tight tops. Skimpytightshowmeyourtitsball.

95% of times in football (soccer if you will), the ball is actually handled by the feet. Couldn't the americans come up with any other name for their game? And one that actually makes sense at that?

[Wojo 2,458]

It was named back in the 1800s. It's too fucking late to change it.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

African-Americans were named niggers in the 1800's, you guys changed that...

[JoeinAR 1,957]

please you do not know what the fk you're talking about. Your comment is offensive and out of line.

our sport is appropriately named. In it's original version the use of the foot was more prominate. But we learned a long time ago that your version has very little scoring. We like scoring. And thank goodness we finally did away with ties. there is no point in playing a game that ends in a tie.

If you like fast action Football is the way to go, not soccer which is only slightly less dull than golf or televised poker.

Try watching the Tour De France on TV, you'll wanna kill yourself!

[Romão 2,473]

Actually, the few I've times I've watched american football, I was taken back by own often the game stops in order to measure yards or for the referee to make a decision or for the times to swap. It probably is one of the ball games with least percentage of actual playing duing its runtime. But it did seem to be strategically and tactically extremely complex

[Brónach 1,330]

If I like fast action and scoring I think basketball is the way to go.

I don't like football much, but I learned from seeing it that the difficulty to score is sort of the point.

Try watching the Tour De France on TV, you'll wanna kill yourself!

Yes. Talk about boring.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

And you know all the Spanish riders are doped to the gills!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

but Tour De France is exciting,

when they crash.

the stoppage of play can get on your nerves but you are correct the game is extremely complex. There are so many philosphies and no one is correct. Right now offenses seem to be dominating, yet the teams that win Championships are generally the best defensively. personally I like big play offenses and knock the crap out of you defenses. Unfortunately my school doesn't have the latter yet.

Man, testicles are ovoid-oval in shape.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

not all of them Luke,

Joe who has met several men with one and more surprisingly several with 3.

[Wojo 2,458]

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

Thats not uncommon.

[Quintus 6,496]

Joey: Mm-mm-mmm, it's times like this I wish I had three tongues!

John: I think you're doing just fine with one...

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

Quint, why do you always turn any discussion about testicels into sonething randy?

[Quintus 6,496]

We have multiple discussions on the subject? Maybe it's a good idea then to put 'em all into one handy place - "The Official Testicles Thread"

Or have two thread's - one for each testicle - and get Josh to stick a poll between them.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

You would need sub threads though, for hairy, shaved, waxed. One ball or three.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Joey: Mm-mm-mmm, it's times like this I wish I had three tongues!

John: I think you're doing just fine with one...

no no no no no.

it has a gross out factor, sorta like the lady my mom works with who has 12 fingers. I do not want her to touch me.

[Jay 46,244]

Alright that's enough with the ball talk guys.

Back to box office figures....

[Wojo 2,458]

Interesting. I seem to remember we only saw one of the six-fingered man's hands, as he held the gorgeous Montoya sword. Did he have six on the other? If so, give the man a saxophone!

It appears War Horse is still in theaters. It hasn't shown up on Box Office Mojo's daily posts since March 1, but every weekend since then it has shown up on their "weekend chart." If it manages to stay in theaters for the next few weeks, it might have a shot of clearing $80 million domestically.
