My favs . . . the bull trying to mount the cow and falling on his arse. :laugh:

And, the one where the infant is pumping the babydoll. :laugh:

But, I do agree with the above poster. The one with the bike race was hilarious!

The soccer vids were fun.

I've never quite got the red and yellow card thing though. I mean how threatining is that? "Oooh, he showed me the yellow card, Oooooh!"

They look silly but they communicate specific things pretty well I think. I think they both carry suspensions in world cup play, though I'm not sure how that works.

The yellow card is a warning. The red is an ejection. Two yellow cards equal a red. In international play a yellow card follows you through an entire tournament, so a second yellow earns you an ejection and a one (additional) game suspension. So, once a player has been issued a yellow card, the other team will often intentionally go at him trying to get him into a position to something stupid and earn the second yellow card, getting himself ejected. When a player is removed from the pitch in a soccer match his team must play a man down (11 v 10) for the rest of the match. That's a HUGE disadvantage, especially in international level matches.

misty,

I just noticed your signature for the first time. Very interesting quote. It reminds me of a couple comments I was taught when I started the medieval fighting I do.

#1. "Pain is a good thing. It reminds you that you're not actually dead yet. It's when you're NOT hurting that you always have to wonder if you're dead or alive." - Dux Lucan von Drachenklaue (after clubbing me like a baby harp seal)

#2. "The difference between a beginner fighter and an experienced fighter is a matter of emotion. It's the difference between 'OWW!! :cry: good :( .' and 'OWW!! :) GOOD!!! :)'"
