Speaking of donut shops, I go in the local Tim Horton's and order my usual coffee in my usual way.

"Large coffee, double cream, no sugar," I sez.

The server stops and sez, "Did you say double sugar?"

"NO sugar," I sez

"Oh," she sez, "because I just need to know what is in the coffee. You can just say, 'Double cream' and that's it."



Okay.

A couple things here.

1) I am experienced at ordering coffee and my experience has taught me that if I just say, "Double cream," and nothing else, there is a fair chance the server is going to reply something like, "Regular sugar?" - or else they are just going to put regular sugar in the coffee on their own. I have gotten sugar I didn't want on multiple occasions. That's why I specify, "No sugar," in a ringing baritone. It's not something I do for fun. My experience has taught me to do that.

2) I don't really want to be lectured by a coffee server anyway. I am actually pretty sure she heard me say, "No sugar," clearly - I do enunciate that part of my order carefully for the reason I explained - but she just pretended to not be sure in order to make her little point.




In summary: just pour the coffee and if you are forced to hear a few syllables more than you would ideally prefer, accept it and file it under, Life is just incredibly fucking tough sometimes.

What is harder to achieve? Miss 6 FG's in a row or make 6 FG's in a row?

The answer is obvious. Make 6 in a row. Pavy you or I could take a football plant it on Casper's face and kick it 6 times in a row and effectively miss 6 field goals in a row. I think I speak for both of us when I say that for either of us to make 6 field goals in a row despite the distance would be very unlikely.

I think what you mean which is more unlikely among the athletes we watch be it making or missing 6. In this case it would clearly be missing 6, you almost never see this in collegiate or professional sports.
 
Yeah I'm talking about athletes obviously and not bums like us. Like that Alabama kicker who supposedly practices between games.

I play soccer and I doubt kicking a football is that hard. I mean the ball is stationary for Christ's sake! I scored goals in soccer with the ball moving and spinning away from you before you kick it.

Pavy do you think you could kick a 12 yard field goal successfully off of Caligirli's tits?
