Things that make you laugh...

Yeah but...then ya gotta clean the splatter cover.
YOU CAN PUT THE GODDAM SPATTER COVER IN THE SINK, where the wife will find it and clean it.
Otherwise you gotta clean the microwave.And you can’t (shouldn’t) put it in the sink.
I wasn't serious!
Fixed it for you.
Are you looking forward to your divorce? ;):D
Heh. No not married. Having trouble finding myself a gal for some reason. :confused2:
 
I should cry, not laugh. This is the moron who led “us” into a pointless war to distract from his child-raping.

I was having a discussion on another board about football (soccer), and its popularity in the pre-TV era.

So I looked up the early FA Cup finals. The first was in 1872, when Wanderers beat Royal Engineers 1-0 in front of a crowd of 2,000 at Kennington Oval.

Wikipedia's pages for FA Cup finals have a nice information panel at the top, with the basic details, and a link to the previous and next year's Wiki page. So I am scrolling through these links, looking for the first final to attract a crowd in excess of 10,000, when something caught my eye.

The referee of the 1878 FA Cup final was a man by the name of Segar Bastard.

Yes, really. He has his own Wikipedia page. It even includes a photograph of the man himself, Segar Richard Bastard (25 January 1854 – 20 March 1921).

In English football culture it has been claimed that because of his name, Bastard was the inspiration behind the football chant, "Who's the bastard in the black?", which is sung to the tune of "Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer". The chant is usually aimed by English football fans towards football referees. It is unlikely, however, that Bastard was the inspiration for the chant; the colour of the clothing he wore while refereeing was not documented, and football chants did not include verbal aggression towards officials until the 1960s, long after Bastard had died.
