Sort of derivative, but spilled milk in a car... omg

Good luck ever getting that smell out.

That's not derivative.

Water is to milk as fire is to radiation.

Time to buy a new car.

I just spilled like half a gallon of water onto carpet.

Is there anything more infuriating and interminable than drying out a deep spill from textile.

Yes, there is a vastly numerous amount of situations, debacles, and circumstances more infuriating and interminable than drying out a deep spill from textile, probably because the liquid you happened to spill on your carpet was not coffee, tea, paint, or mustard, but water.

They had the Murray vs Federer game on the tv yesterday while I was in the gym. I got glimpses of it on occasion (it was the 2nd set or whatever it is called. The one where federer finally took it 7-6). I see what you guys means about the game being slowed down. Wow! That was actually pretty boring. The rounds lasted forever. Reading yalls commentary on Federer's game made me wince for him. Didn't matter how well he was placing the hits, there was plenty of time to run across the court to be ready for it.

That's a pretty solid assessment of where he's at on today's slow, high-bouncing hardcourts. The drop shot is a waste of time and no matter how sharp the angle, those guys are 10ft+ behind the baseline scrambling side to side chasing everything down.

I've been following tennis for 25 years but when Federer calls it a day my interest in it will drop off unless they speed the courts up again to promote different styles. Watching two juiced up sluggers go at it for 5 hours becomes boring. Years ago the only place you saw those kinds of rallies was on clay. Sadly even Wimbledon (grass) has become like that. I used to enjoy seeing matchups with contrasting styles like Sampras vs. Agassi. Now they're all the same.

Again, not sure if it is a set or match or what. But it was the 2nd one, they were already into it when I showed up in the gym. Finished my workout and they were just finishing as I was leaving.

I ain't no tennisologist, but I've never had a game of Wii Tennis last that long.

Tennis aside, sport is more interesting when there are contrasting styles. If every player or team is playing the same way, it's boring.

It was a second match. The whole match consisted of 5 matches. All that drinking is eating through your grey.

Concurred.

Wait... a match consists of 5 matches? Damn.. tennis is retarded.

Wait, google says I was right. A tennis match consists of 5 sets.
" Scoring
Main article: Tennis score

Match

The outcome of a tennis match is determined through a best of three or five sets system. Recreational players may agree to play any number of sets, depending upon time availability or stamina. On the professional circuit, men play best-of-five-set matches at all four Grand Slam tournaments, Davis Cup, and the final of the Olympic Games and best-of-three-set matches at all other tournaments, while women play best-of-three-set matches at all tournaments. The first player to win two sets in a best-of-three, or three sets in a best-of-five, wins the match.[42] A set consists of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.

In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the end of the match with the well-known phrase "Game, set, match" followed by the winning person's or team's name. The final score in sets is always read with the winning player's score first, e.g. "6–2, 4–6, 6–0, 7–5"."

Must be part of why I find some sports so boring. They either all use identical styles or I don't know enough to tell them apart.

Is there such a thing as baseball teams that use different styles?

Subtle differences.

Some teams go for power hitting, others for contact hitting. Some invest their money in batting, others in pitching. Some teams sacrifice defense for hitting, etc.

It isn't near as noticeable as say with NFL teams with drastically different offenses and defenses, etc.

[ZoranM]

Wait, google says I was right. A tennis match consists of 5 sets.

Of course you were right goddamnit. But even leaving the possibility of a set being a match was borderline potato even if you never saw a whole match. Match is a match.
Hence no rolleyes or other visible indication of sarcasm.

I'm spoiled by NFL teams. For as much as they are alike, they often do things quite differently.

But then a lot of people watching probably couldn't tell the difference

Gotcha.

Agreed.

[Farley1324]

Gotcha.

Agreed.

I think for a lot of people...probably most people who watch the Superbowl for example...seeing the difference in offenses between Manning/Brady and Tebow/Kaepernick is about as far as they can get.

[Final_Rep]

This page reminds me of the movie Baseketball.

Which, TBH, I really hated.

Total Aside:

Was it medjen or Ctrain that I gave a link to for cissus powder some time back? Do you still have that link? I was going to give it to mike and I no longer have the PM and don't have a shot in hell at remembering the link.

I wonder if the guys commentating Monster Trucks ever sit down and really ponder their life choices.

Also since it's not useful, what's the story behind FRep deciding to reset his reps?

I like to be engaged in conversation, activity, etc, at all times. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even better if it leads to me learning things... which quite often is the case, esp. here in the Rant.
