    ...but man I held my own for as long as I could. I got a wife and kid now and everything, but shit I held my own through 5 rounds of the local tournament relying on every pull/push/snake and angle shot I could remember from 10 years ago when I owned this damn town. But damn, if I my own brother (whom I taught everything too) couldn't hold his own against the nicest set of tits to grace the tables since last year's Boob Day, then who could? I mean that just isn't fair. Who shows up to a foosball tournament only playing for six months and then sets up a brick wall while shelling out a set of jugs that could put Salma Hayek to shame just to win a round or two? If only I could get out more than once every two months, I might just be able to return some cred to a reputation that owned the Pittsburgh foos area through most of the 90s.

    Shit....tits are awsome.

    Are there any other foosball fans out there?

    Man, that was a bit confusing....

    I'm not a real fan, but I like it.

    Boob day on 28/2 right?

    As soon as I read this, I knew someone will ask for a photo or two.

    So, any pics?

    ontopic: I play it every now and then, but I can't say I'm very good at it. A couple of trick shots and lucky shots to score an eventual victory.

    I'm more of a fan of eight-ball. :D

    Checking to see if anyone got any pics. With all the camer phones out these days, someone had to catch something.

    Foosball just reminds me of all the times men have slapped my fanny for free. That goes for any sport really.

    Yeah, usually you have to pay men to slap your fanny.

    Well there were no pictures from last time, but I was able to snap a few from the most recent tournament which was last night. Partners are randomly drawn and wouldn't you know it, the girl with the nice chest is drawn for my team. Here are a few shots. The first two are her and her boyfriend playing after the tournament was over. The other two are just shots of the table. We had two Tornado Soccer tables going back to back.

    The pictures aren't the best, but neither is the camera on my phone.

    She did a solid job too. I have to say I wasted a pretty good partner last night. She was back, I was front, and I could not get anything going all night except for a little snake and pull here and there. I could not sink any angles, which are usually my forte. But they say there having tournaments on a monthly basis from now on so at least there's always next month to try again.

    Maybe you should try getting laid some place other than a foosball tourney? Also, I'm sure the 'relationship' she's in didn't help either.

    I spell checked it to "is usually my forte" as opposed to "are usually my forte," but I am unsure as to which is technically correct.

    DF: In this context, I believe both are acceptable.

    Whee, foosball! I wonder if they have a foosball table here...

    I'm married with a kid. I'm not going out looking to get laid. I was really just there to play in the tournament. Considering that about 99% of the participants are guys, it's refreshing to see someone of the female gender not only take a serious interest in the game, but also look good doing it.

    Alright now you're just splitting hairs. But I'm still correct because I used a plural noun in the subject (angles) and followed it up with a plural form of the predicate (are usually). If I was referring to angles as a single type of shot, then your instance would be correct. But since there are several different types of angle shots (plural), I believe I'm correct.

    I commend you. I just wanted to make the dirty joke out of that, since it was so viable, and I knew that if I didn't Philes would. :)
    I asked because it genuinely confused me. I am more inclined to believe that Xiao is right, however. I think my way of putting it reads better, but I believe that yours is technically grammatically correct.

    As it is the sinking of the angles--not the angles themselves--I'm inclined toward "is" in this instance.
