Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
MBers have requested separate threads about soccer and cryptids. Each topic sounded a bit specialized, but together there might be enough posts to sustain a thread, so here you are. Let the confusion begin!

First post!
I play soccer.
And i believe in the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot.
Not sure where I stand with other cryptids.

Umm this might sound kind of weird but what are cryptids? I know what soccer is though

2- Cryptids are creatures that haven’t been proven unreal, and even, in some cases, are probably real.

Yay for soccer!!! Thanks GAPA’s! I’m currently playing on a homeschool Varsity team…it’s cool, cuz we have purple uniforms, but we’ve only had one game so far, so I don’t know if we’ll deserve those purple uniforms…I think we will, though…ok, that’s long…I’m done.

3-Thanks! I belive in Bigfoot, the Yeti, and spirits. Kind of like ghosts but they dont run around haunting peoples celler and attics. They dont make their presence known. I dont belive in the loch ness monster. I would like to hear somebody who ACTUALLY belives in Santa Claus. Anyone?

The GAPAs say the moderation will be slow. I wonder what they’re doing? I wonder what they are doing for Easter. Wait. This should be on the ask the GAPA thread. I’ll go there in a minute.
I truly believe my house is haunted. Do not read the to the end of the following line if you want to sleep tonight.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOKhere’swhatIhavetosay:oftenIhearcreakingnoises,especiallyinthebasement,andthereisacrawlspacethatwehavenowayofgettingtoabovethesecondstoryofmyhousethatisprobablyreallycreepybutsincewecan’tgetupthereitseemsevencreepier.
Yup, that sums it up. I don’t have any good evidence, but somehow I seem to just be able to sense ghosts. Sound too weird? Can you sense them? Do you have any evidence of ghosts?
Well, this I can say, and we aren’t sure what kind of animal would make this noise: Last night, I was lying in bed, and I heard a scratching noise, and it almost turned into a sort of tapping noise. Ideas? *is scared to go to bed*

I’m not sure if that counts as a cryptid; it sounds more like a paranormal thing to me. My personal opinion: a sibling or parent who is tapping on the wall to freak you out, or a tree tapping on your window.
Of course, once when I was lying in my room, I heard my mother tell me good night and I turned around and saw that the door was shut.
Freaky…

Romana!! That happed to me too!!! But it was a little different because my Mom does not usually tell me good night. So she said good night and I turned around because I was a little creeped out, and the door was shut. And then the lights went out and I got really scared. But It turned out that it was just a power outage. Not some ghost.

8-that is just freaky.

Creaking noises are probably just wood expanding. Moisture levels change, and the wood aroung windows and such warps.
Wikipedia has a good list of cryptids.

I don’t think it was a sibling; don’t have any. Parents, well, the noise was still there when they were both standing there. Trees, my dad went outside with a flashlight and didn’t see anything. It sounded like something nibbling on the ceiling.
Anyway, one time a friend was at my house, and we were playing with legos. There was a thunderstorm outside, and the friend said “I wonder if the power will *blink* go out?!?” and the power blinked off and then back on. Funny coincidence I guess.
Really scary, REALLY scary! This happened a couple times: In the morning, my mom would start talking about something that she had never mentioned to me before, and she says “remember I told you last night, you know when I came in for a minute?” me, “no!”
I don’t want to know what she would have asked me if I had not told her to stop. *is scared that he could have given stuffed animals away and not even known*

10- There was this book I read a long time ago, and it talked about this place where the wind coming from the mountains and wind coming from the forest mingled, and whenever you got to that EXACT SPOT you could hear whispers. You couldnt quite make out what they said, but you could tell they were human. Scary huh? Just goes to prove science can spoil any fun you wanna have.

5- I did believe in Santa Clause for eleven years. Though when I was eleven I was beginning to doubt it.
My sister is ten and she still believes.
8- The lights going out were a power outage, but what about the closed door? Huh?
Ooh, ghosts. I know there’s such thing as ghosts, but I’m not really scared of them. My sister is though. Terrified. I’d be terrified too if I saw one. Once I was hanging out at a friends house, and we were home alone, and it was dark, and there was this weird flapping noise. We were so freaked out! But it turned out to be a poster she had on her bedroom door flapping in the draft.
That’s not talking about cryptids though. Um, who else thinks that there’s a chance Captain Kidd wasn’t actually a pirate? He’s not a cryptid, but it’s the same unsolved mystery sort of thing that facsinates me.
Soccer. I play soccer with the elementary schoolers. Bit embarassing if you’re in eighth grade and the oldest kid on your team is in fifth. But some of the fifth graders are way huge, so it evens out.

I play soccer. School and club, tho neither is very good….
I support England too and was upset for weeks after the portugal game last summer.
wayne rooney, not a foul (well yes it was but I don’t care)….david beckam…. goal keeper missing every PK… urrrggg!!!!!!!
Moving on…
Crypids, I like ’em… Not sure what else to say on the subject…

I love soccer! I’ve played on various city teams since I was six, and I also played for my school team in Middle school. When I was younger I always played defense, but now I’ve started to really like playing goalie. And nobody likes playing goalie on the teams I’ve been on, so it works out really well! And I have some really froody gloves.

Hi GAPAs! Hey, only seven more years until I’m eligible to be a GAPA too!
Have a nice weekend! And don’t ruin your Easter by checking in on the blog too much. You deserve some free time! Right guys? The GAPAs shouldn’t check in too much. Many of those MBers will be off doing something with their Easter break. *sends virtual peeps and cadbury eggs to GAPAs* *sends *

20- Are you in America? There was something about that sentence that made it seem like you weren’t.
21- We don’t have a TV either. And everytime some kid at school asks me if I saw a programme last night, I just say that I don’t have a TV. And then they freak out and start telling everyone in sight. Within 2 weeks the whole school knows. And it really annoys me.
O.k, so I am off topic with those. Umm… I don’t really believe in monsters like the loch ness one, ect. I saw loch ness once, and it didn’t seem like a very monsterey habitat. Hate Soccer. Evilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! Soccer is

26-What’s wrong with you? How can you NOT LIKE SOCCER?!?!?!?!
You know what’s really weird (this is also the reason I’m afraid of dolls)? One time, a few years back, my friend and I were playing with some Lego people, and we’re like, “Hey, let’s put some Lego people in (my) room and wait for a while, and see if they do anything!” We were, like, 11, so we were just messing around, and didn’t expect anything to happen. So we put two Lego people in my room, and left. Now, my room has lock-able windows (which were locked at the time), and we were playing in the living room, and you have to go through the living room to get to my room, my brother’s room, my parents’ room, and/or the bathroom, so we would’ve known whether or not anyone had gone into my room. (I’ve pondered this many times, hoping to find some way that what must’ve happened didn’t.) We waited 10 min., and checked my room. The Lego people had moved! But we thought that maybe we had put them that way, and just not noticed, so we took care to make sure that we knew where they were, and tried again. We came back after another 10 min., and they had moved again! So then we were totally freaked out, and brought the Lego people out to the living room where we could see them. Either the Lego people are alive, or they were possessed…either way, I’m still freaked out.

32-No *giggle* BBQs dont wink. They dont have eyes. Unless you painted them on. Then I would be really scared of the BBQ and the person who painted eyes on it. They would all freak me out. Barbies are a doll. Im not really sure if your serious that you dont know what they are…

Sigh, no, that’s the Moose-Pig. Wiki doesn’t have the Beast of Baffin.
What is it?!?!

Soccer… Scotland is first in its group, ahead of France (2) and Italy (4th: JUSTICE!!!). Finland needs to get its arse back in gear, they canb’t go losing to Azerbaijan! But anyway, Switzerland is qualified automatically as hosting nation, and we should perform pretty well. Just keep Senderos in.

I swear our church was haunted, but it could’ve been a joke. My 3 friends and I had stayed after supper one Wednseday night to help clean up, and there were about 6 people in the whole church, Mattie, Liz, Vera, me, my mom, and the cook. So us girls went to the basement, and we turned the light on, and then it was turned off. Now, there are two light switches in te basement, one by the elevator, and one by the otere door to the Westley Hall. WE were at the elevator switch, having just come off the elvator. We turned the switch back on. Someone turned it off. We turned it on. They turned it off. THis went on for about 10 minutes, and since the basement is cluttered with crap that no one wants, we couldn’t cross it in the dark, so we ran to the elevator, got in, ran the entire way around the church real fast, and no one was at the light switch and my mom and the cook were still in the kitchen cleaning. It was quite freaky. WE also got stuck in that elevator for about 15 minutes once. And we heard the Jaws music coming from the Sanctuary, getting steadily louder, but there was no one playing the piano when we were inside. T’was scary.

Sad how little interest there is in soccer in the U.S. but maybe Beckham will change that! It’s kind of like the metric system. I used to play, but I’m not that athletic, and the games began to turn into big shoving matches. It’s still the best sport though. Now I sail small boats.
what is the Beast of Baffin? and where do you live Der Wachtelschlag, not to know what a barbie is?

blech, barbies. Plastic yucky dolls that children (mainly girls) play with. They are disporportionate. I did enjoy playing with them at others’ houses but at home I didn’t have any and didn’t particularily want any. I played with blocks, legos, paint, going outside, my dolls which were all different (some cloth, some plastic, some big, some little) My favorite thing to do though was draw floorplans for houses and create families that lived there. Or read. I loved all sorts of books including a lot of fantasy. (and muse of course! though I only started subscribing when I was nine (in nineteen ninety nine) nine looks a bit funny now
well, that was off topic. Ah well, childhoods are interesting. Cryptds, Soccer and childhoods.

when i was little on hallowe’en i saw a witch fly across the moon.
yes very unbelievable. i’m not sure i even actualy saw it but i do have this memory of this witch crossing the moon.
soccer, yay. i play with mostly boys at school durring lunch. i like defense. it’s a good thing i play with guys because they complain a lot less if they get hurt. i don’t intentionaly go out onto the soccer field to hurt people but randomly people get hurt around me. i have so many bruises up my legs from getting kicked in the shins. this one guy i know smashed into my shin accidentaly and fell over. he hurt his leg realy badly and he could barely walk on the weekend. i have an extremely high tolerance to pain so nothing much hurts me. still i feel realy bad.

47-I grew up in Nova Scotia and Nunavut, but I live in Chicago now. The Baffin Bay beast is a sea monster that lives in Baffin Bay. It swims in a figure eight–Nanook died fighting it but he altered the way it swims so it’s stuck that way now. It’s the reason the tides there are so weird.
I wasn’t serious about the Barbies people. When I was six I asked what they were. I don’t think I had any dolls. I did have a chemistry kit, pea and ice guns, a fly car, and a mini-snow bike. I had lots of fun growing up. One year a bunch of people got all the bottles from the recycling bin and stuck them all in the ground with the necks showing. When the wind blew it made a horrible sound like a foghorn. Like the sound a beer bottle makes when you blow across it magnified about 300 times.

A squirel or rather large mouse or something got into our attic once and in a desperate atempt to get out decided to dig it’s way through the floor/ceiling of lower room. Right above my bed. At night.
I went and slept in the other bed…
Soccer. I like it. It’s not as big a deal over in the states, unfortunatly. It should be, very cool sport. I don’t have any favorite teams. The motto “Don’t tread on me” has a certain…apeal to it, though.

A soccer thread! Yay! Soccer is the only sport I play, although I’m not very good at it. It’s fun anyway. I’m doing a referee training next weekend since I’ll finally be old enough to ref. I haven’t heard when team practice starts though. (I play on the local rec league. Very fun.)

My math teacher coaches soccer. I am not good at soccer, although I like it, if anyone lets me on their team.
39: Yikes! Reminds me of a story……. When I was in third grade, my teacher would always joke about “George the ghost.” If the door suddenly opened, it wasn’t the wind; it was George. George also hated social studies. Anyway, one day during social studies, the door suddenly slammed shut. “Must be George leaving,” my teacher joked. A few minutes later, the door opened a crack, then closed again. “He must have been checking to see if we were done with social studies yet,” we decided. Finally, during the end of class, the door opened all the way. We looked up, but didn’t say anything. I mean, we were already used to it. But then the fan turned on all by itself. Nobody was even sitting close enough to touch it. I know, because I was looking at it right when it turned on.

Oh, that’s one of the great jokes from “The Complete History of America: Abriged.” They all put on really stupid looking sunglasses and put their hands behind their back; men in black style, and inform you of some of the little known facts about people in america, one of them being “There’s a cult of dyslexic devil worshippers living in the appalachians that have sold their souls to santa.”

I looked forward to it for a real long time, but watching the World Cup last year was boring. The problem is, the players are so good there’s hardly any scoring at all. Most games are like 2-1 or 1-1 or 1-0 or something like that.

Oh, man!!! I saw an intense professional indoor Playoff soccer game last night! It was the Detroit Ignition (Woot!!!) vs. the Milwaukee Wave. It was a tight game (6-6) until the end of the third quarter (they use quarters in pro. indoor), and then the teams got into it! They were subbing, like, every 2 min…it was craze-ay! And then, it turned out that that game was the one that would decide whether or not the Wave went right to the finals; if the Ignition won, they and the Wave would have to play another “Golden Goal” game, in which whoever scored first would go to the finals…if the Wave won, they would go straight to the finals, without another game. Ignition won, so they played the GG game, and, omgosh, it was fast-paced like no other! Then, about 5 min. in to the game, Ignition scored!!! The crowd went ballistic, and one of the Ignition players (Chile Farias) got elbowed in the face by one of the Wave players when they were doing their post-game handshake…stupid bad loser…:mad: Anyway, Ignition own, so it was sweet!!!

87: Lilith was not evil. She was equal to Adam, made from clay as he was, and not from his rib, as an inferior being. This pissed Adam off, so he got God to exile her. Then God made him a new wife who would be subservient to him. Lilith was not evil, merely a challenge.

I didn’t like any sports until last year. I thought that they were a waste of time. Now I don’t like any sports other than soccer. 
I was really bad last year, but I’m better now.
The World Cup is more interesting if you support a country. I supported England.

Post 90 was written days before the religion thread closed. But unfortunately, God WOULD do that. Whatever, I’m not goin to get into it again. There’s a whole explanation involving God as proxy of man, but…

My mom started supporting Fulham, a team in the English Premiership, when she met my much-older sister’s husband. They’re only a few points above relegation to the next division down. I only hope that they win because if they win the Premiership or the FA Cup my brother-in-law will write a piece with football rattles. (The plastic things that you spin and they make an annoying sound.) He’s a composer for a reason, so it would be good. The problem is that Fulham’s hopeless, which is the only reason that he even agreed to the deal. XD

No offence, but the USA may have been the worst team in the World Cup, in my opinion. They only scored once, and that was because the other team’s goalie was over aggressive. I agree about people not posting here anymore.

101 – They scored twice, and they were NOT the worst team in the World Cup. They had 2 losses and 1 tie, while some other teams had 3 losses.
0

Really? Amazing the things you learn. Who else was there? And just because they had less losses than some teams doesn’t mean that they weren’t the worst. The other teams could have been doing really badly due to bad luck, or they could have been against really good teams. I’m not saying that they were the worst team, and I don’t want you to take offense. I’d heard that they only scored once.
And just so that you know, 2 goals isn’t very impressive either. I’m not saying that England scored a lot of goals, but I do think that they’re better than the US.

103 – The US’s complete 2006 world cup record:

italy 1

Ghana 2
US 1
The US was pitted against 2 difficult teams. And you could also say they had bad luck in 2006, because in 2002 they got all the way to the quarterfinals, which is how far England got in 2006.

Italy is taken for granted as a difficult team, but if you said 2 out of those three, then you meant that either Ghana or the CR were hard. And honestly, the US sucks. Compared to european or south american teams. As much as I may find it annoying, they suck.

109: Yes, italy is a badass team, so look: When you say that there are 2 difficult teams, and italy is difficult for sure, that means that you’re saying that at least one of the remaining teams are also difficult.
And the US tied by sheer luck. Bloody italians…

Well, this threads alive again.
I like you, FS. You share many of my views.
And E2MB, you have to see that FS is right. While the US have gotten much better, it is only by american standards.

Well I suppose. But still, in the regular olympics, the United States team ranks in the top 3 countries while other teams rejoice over a single bronze medal. It all depends on your perspective.
I also point out that the US is fairly new in the World Cup. Most teams have been around much longer.

Wow. This thread’s been dead for a long time. I should probably just kill it (the tab), but…
That’s the olympics, not the world cup. We’re talking about football (what rebels call soccer) here, not a medley of sports.

Hmm. “and you know what we do with useless threads, don’t you? . . . We pretend they’re Watership Down threads!” – Em, on Chuck Norris Watership Down Unending Pie War. I have no intention of declaring this a Watership Down thread, since we already have Em’s abridgment, and that serves the purpose, but I seriously suggest we do something useful with this thread. What say thou? What should we do with it?

I’m not playing soccer this season because I knew I’d miss a ton of games. Incidentally, Sarah, who has a pretty much identical schedule, is playing soccer anyway, and can only make two games, so I feel validated. I’ll be reffing when I get the chance though.

(142) Sorry, Raven of the Hawk. We have rules about identifying metropolitan areas with populations smaller than a million residents. The entire state of New Hampshire doesn’t have many more people than that.
We should have caught the other geographical references before. I snipped them retroactively when the name of the school drew more attention to them.

This thread demands revival. I know it’s really old, but we haven’t had a soccer thred since. So forgive me. ^^
Anyways, my soccer coach keeps moving my position around. This isn’t unusual, as he does it with most people, and he’s always done it more then normal for me. But now he’s had me playing either right defense or one of the center defenders (we play a flat-back four) for the past few games. I don’t like defense.
I used to play stopper quite a bit, when we played a diamond-back defense, but I prefer center mid or forward much more. Aargh.

148 – Shame on you. 
Actually, I agree, somewhat. Watching soccer can be pretty boring, but other times it’s awesome. I think a lot of it depends on where you’re watching it, who you’re watching play, and who you’re watching it with.
For example, my family went to see the D.C. United vs. L.A. Galaxy game while we were in D.C., and it was really cool because you not only got the game, but you got the whole experience that you don’t get while watching on TV.
Another thing is that it’s much cooler to watch the “game of the season”, like that game, or a Euro Cup game or something then just a youth team. Unless we know the people, and then it rocks.
The “who you’re watching it with” usually applies to my soccer teammates. A game that would be boring when watching it with non-soccer people is so much cooler when you’re watching with people who “get it”.

I’ve got soccer camp today, and I can’t wait. Originally I was going to go to another camp instead, one that’s summer-long instead of only being for three days, but here’s how that went.
3 Months Ago:
Me: Dad, can I do this soccer camp?
Dad: Sure, we’ll sign you up.
2 Months Ago:
Me: Dad, have you signed me up for the soccer camp yet?
Dad: No, but I will soon.
1 1/2 Months Ago:
Me: Dad, you should probably sign me up for that soccer camp soon!
Dad: Don’t worry. I will.
3 Weeks Ago:
Me: Dad, did I ever get signed up for that soccer camp?
Dad: Not yet, but-
Mom: Oh, I called the, the other day. They’re full.

Has anyone seen the Spain v.s. Germany game? Spain was awesome though they missed a lot of shots.
I’m on a traveling soccer team. My coach makes us run a lot. Though I’ve kinda gotten used to it.

151 – During Euro Cup? I dunno. I might have seen it, because I saw a lot of the later games, but I might not have.
-looks it up-
Oh, that was the finals? Yeah, I saw it, but it was on tape because my family had been at the D.C. United vs. L.A. Galaxy game right before that and couldn’t get home in time for that game’s start.

One of my friends is currently arguing with me that soccer takes no skill, and should be considered a hobby instead of a sport. He says that soccer is all about being in the right place at the right time.
Well, duh. Half the game is finding, making, and getting to space…

Hurrah! The USA beat Japan 1-0 in the first round of the Olympics!
The women’s team has also already played a game, but I haven’t heard the final score yet. Does anybody know?

The US Women’s Soccer team played again this morning, although I couldn’t see it because it was on at 2am our time. It’s too bad there’s such a large time delay between China and the US.

Long dead thread, but I am giving it mouth-to-mouth.
I was chosen by a scout to play on a premier league team!!!! Me and my friend Georgia were the only people in the area chosen, her as PO (premier offender) and me PD (premeir defender) I am so happy. There’s going to be a get together/scrimmage on the 22. Thoughts?

Yays! In an attempt to keep this thread alive, I’m posting! So, we won our game yesterday. It was 8-2 against a team we lost 5-0 last time we played them. I made a sweet goal from 30 yards; right in the corner. 
Hey, GAPAs? When you wake up, can you make a new soccer thread? It’s much fun to talk about? Or maybe just a sports thread?
