    What woe, that your siren song should fall upon such deaf...

    A conclusion to the art of communication

    He's there again, right in the middle. He's buried up to his waist and your throwing stones at him. Did his hum annoy that much? I've been hopping across rocks trying to come to terms with all this and now I've hopped right back to where I started from. I think that, it wasn't really the hum that annoyed so much. I think that, it was the tune he was humming. Tone and verbiage can easily be ignored. But that depressing hum was drilling deep into the core of that metamorphic seam of knowledge. The sublime melody and harmony of your tune, might just as easily elicit an adverse response. What woe, that your siren song should fall upon such deaf ears. Better to dwell in the bliss of your own elysian song and let him meditate in the satisfaction of his monotone hum. Just keep whistling your tune and let him hum his.

    Referees and linesmen are human and therefore cannot be...

    Football is an art not a science.

    Football - the beautiful game - has a natural ebb and flow, the speed and end to end nature of the game should be interrupted as little as possible. Do we want to stop the game for every debatable decision. Was it a handball, did the defender play the ball or take out the man, which way should the throw in be awarded, should it be a corner or a goal kick, was the forward marginally offside or not etc... Where would it end? Referees and linesmen are human and therefore cannot be perfect but if there is consent that we accept their decisions, right or wrong then we can preserve the essence of the game. Its not all about winning otherwise fans would not support those teams that have not enjoyed success for decades.

    Roads kill is better than art

    This is the round of acceptance. I think road kill is better because its edible. Also it's like a tattoo for the road and teaches you how easy it is to be killed.
