Attention Team Indiana USA Players

[TC in Indy]

I am calling on my fellow Hoosiers to turn in your best picks of the season for this final race. We are only 4 points behind USA West and are tied with the dreaded New Zealand team for 2nd. We have a shot at winning the International Competition, but more importantly, a chance to finish ahead of Team New Zealand. I would never hear the end of it if those Kiwis finish ahead of us.

Please be aware that the last race is this coming Sunday, November 14th. Get your picks in on time and make every effort to post your picks when you are sober. If we finish ahead of the Kiwis, I will buy a round for all Team Indiana USA members who show up at Union Jacks on a yet to be determined date.

Even if you are a bottom dweller in the individual competition, now is the time to do it for the team. :trophy:

Rah! Rah! Sis Boom Bah! Beat the Kiwis! Beat the Kiwis!

I love the smell of desperation wafting on the evening breeze ...

TC is this you doing your cheerleading bit?

No way that guy is an American. He has got to be a Kiwi. Besides, I am much thinner than that. However, you are correct about the desperation thing.

Are you sure about that? I thought the cowboy hat was a bit of a give away. Aren't they 'de rigueur' amongst Hoosiers?

[I think it's about time the season's competitive tensions degenerated into a bit of trash talking seeing as those F1 drivers are too polite to do it. ]

I have been sucking seawater with my picks as of late, but I totally lost track last week and did not post my picks.. surely I would have been worth 4 points....? TC, now the pressure is on, If we lose by 4 points, I will buy every Indiana USA player dinner at Loon Lake Lodge.. -cap

45, We Hoosiers don't even know what "de rigueur" means. In fact, we are not sure how to pronounce it. Don't the Aussies and Argentinians wear cowboy hats too? The piece around his hips looks more like something a New Zealander would wear.

Let the trash talking commence. We have been way too polite on the F1 forum this season.

Beej, how hospitible of you to offer. Are you springing for our passage on the Titanic also?

[MoparsRule]

So I should ask my 10 yr old to do my picks, right?

Hey buddy boy ... we aren't the ones who wear pads when we play football.

We started out the same way. That is pretty much how we played the game in the 1800's. Fortunately we have gotten smarter over the years and now we protect our players with modern pads and helmets. In time, your society may evolve and wisen up too.

:applause: Very clever remarks TC - I take off my hat to you!

However, I fail to see the relevance of the picture of a typical team Indiana tactics meeting.

Touche 45, I must admit that our meetings are a bit unorganized and lack any general direction. As the self appointed spokesperson for the team, I will ask for a short recess to give me time to come up with my next clever reply. I look forward to another round of trash talk tomorrow.

TC - I think we both need lessons from the French on how to really sling insults.

45, if you are a Monty Python fan, we might just be able to get along. This is my very favorite scene from the Holy Grail. The killer rabit is a close 2nd.
