As much as it seems pussy-ish. They do it some times just to rest. It’s not like you run 5 seconds, rest a minute, run 5 seconds, then sit on the bench and suck down some O2.
It’d be an awesome change if they instituted a hockey style diving rule.[/quote]
Or on the fly substitutions, like one person has to be off the field, and the new guy has to go on the field where the other guy went off.

Spiders. Amazing predators, but fuck 'em! I walk my dogs in the evening on a tree-lined sidewalk, and the big spiders build huge webs from tree to sidewalk that I always seem to run into… then I freak out and flail about like an idiot thinking the bastard’s in my hair or somewhere.
Yeah, fuck spiders.[/quote]
I do the same thing. Not to mention the ninja-spiders that bite me in my sleep and then dis-a-fucking-pear.
At this place I used to work at, we always had a shit-ton of bugs clouding around the outdoor lights at night. One night I come in and I see a giant spider web built over one of them. You couldn’t even see the strands; it looked like it was made out of insects. Spider was just chillin’.
I kinda wanted to take a picture and make a meme that read: ‘Work smart, not hard.’
This was the spider I had in my bathroom. I called my girlfriend in to kill it. I gave her some bullshit story about how I shouldn’t since I’m not from Taiwan but her and the spider are.

It’s not that common. Plus, you won’t get a penalty if you don’t fall to the floor. It’s some kind of unwritten rule.
I understand that for “outsiders”, diving is not fun, but you are missing lots of factors. I played for many years and, while I don’t support diving, I understand it.
I’ve been in many situations with the local team playing dirty, including spitting us when the referee is not watching, insulting my mother, etc. The referee doesn’t show yellow cards, so what can I do? I will dive, overexaggerate injuries, etc.
Also, about overexaggerating injuries, sometimes you get kicked and it hurts like if your leg had been chopped off. The pain goes away after one minute, but the impact does hurt a lot. That’s why many players go out the pitch and back in immediately. For someone who has never played, this may seem very bad…but it’s really like this.

Maaaan, that’s huge. I’m sending this clip to a friend who has some light arachnophobia…

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.
This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.
The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, that’s because Sand People always walk in single file, to cover their numbers.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that Oprah always does that yelling thing when she introduces guests! Well, I mean I guess I knew other people noticed, but that someone would go the lengths of making that video with the goat.
