049. Over The Hills And Far Away

[Too many people talking about Thanksgiving lately, for real. Brock doesn't like Thanksgiving for Personal Reasons, but he doesn't feel vehement enough about it to bitch at everyone who keeps bringing it up.

It's a conundrum.

So, whatever. He's going to talk about the part of Thanksgiving that doesn't make him feel weird, and everybody is going to shut up AND LIKE IT.]

So, people usually play football around this time of year. Who actually knows how to play and would be up for a pick-up game or something?

It's probably too much to ask for people who know how to play and don't suck, so. I'll take you knowing like, the basic rules. You need to know what a touchdown is, I guess.

[.... oh.] I mean American football, by the way. Not soccer.

It's a city in my world. Anyway, they play...football there. I think. I'm sure I heard something about it.

[samson]

Football's like ... you have two teams, and they each try to get the ball at the other end of the field. So you can stop the other team by tackling their guys when they're carrying the ball.

That pretty much the same thing?

[mal_addict]

...

I have a question. But it's a really obvious one so I probably missed something important but...

Why is it call football when they carry it?

[samson]

Well, there's kicking involved.

Like, with your feet.

[mal_addict]

So they carry it and they kick it?

...Not at the same time I hope

[samson]

No, no. Mostly it's carrying. But sometimes you can try and kick it instead.

[mal_addict]

...This is a very confusing and contradictory game.

[samson]

You can watch, if you want. Maybe it'll make more sense.

[mal_addict]

...Sure, I may just do that.

[samson]

Well, alright. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two about Earth customs.

[Or maybe Other Things Will Happen instead!! Foreshadowing......]

[mal_addict]

I better be allowed to mock them. That's half the fun.

[Such foreshadowing]

[samson]

Pfft, alright. I can't help it if some people get pissed off about it, though.

[Or pissed off about everything!]

[mal_addict]

I think I can like with that.
