    That sport V games bollox

    Great! I've always really disliked this saying.

    'An Ernest Hemingway aphorism is cited endlessly by revheads, hill climbers and animal taunters: ''There are only three real sports: auto racing, mountaineering and bullfighting. The rest are games.''

    Alas, Hemingway scholars have found no evidence that ''Papa'' ever said such a thing. The line was more likely from Barnaby Conrad or Ken Purdy but they are less famous, and memorable quotes invariably migrate up the celebrity food chain.'

    Anyone who sees bull fighting as a sport is retarded anyway.

    So, "Fuck, fish!", is more appropriate, and also the perfect way to teach the importance of commas.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Add 'fight' and you have the Henderson national anthem.

    ...not far removed from an anthem I hummed as a lad...an anthem inspired by your man Ernest whose every word I greedily devoured...his life of boozin, wiminising and fishin suited my requirements at the time...inspired me to leave here and seek the dangers of an unknown but well tread world... boozin, chasing unattainable wimmin and unattainable fish...

    What's wrong with bullfighting? It is a most superb sport.

    A bull can throw a Spaniard quite a distance!
    Show one a drunk tourist and a bull can get a horn all the way through the skin and into the abdomen.
