Happiest of day, dr. bill! As the ideal birthday present for the good doctor, can someone (tsuwm?) come up with some esoterica of word-posts for the day?

Nope, I'm supposed to go parachuting again. How exciting is that!! I'm bouncing off the walls as we speak. Birthdays are tremendous. I even walked into work today with jeans on and braids in my hair. They're calling me Heidi (but with auburn hair). Oh, and any sales person out there will know this feeling...I called a client to whom I had made a huge presentation (1 million / year business) and said..."Rob I'm calling to bug you 'bout the fries and, well, you gotta give me the business 'cause its my birthday." I got it. HA.

Just got back into town from a day trip -- just in time to wish you a H.B., Consuelo. BTW, no postings from you recently. Has anybody seen Consuelo in the last few days?

A belated happy birthday to you consuelo. Anu suggests a subscription for a belated birthday gift, but I suspect you already have one.

Happy birthday, Sparteye! (Sports-related note to the birthday girl: doesn't it figure that Paterno would tie the record by beating my Northwestern, and then break it by beating your OSU? I do love and admire JoeP, but did he have to do it *that way? ) Edit-- thanks, bingley (US college football: career victories by a coach.)

In reply to:

I don't even know what sport we're talking about here, but what does beaking it mean?

Oh dear, and beak it sounded so evocative of something or other, too. I thought it might be when one of the players hurls himself face down on the ball in American football to score a try? a goal? whatever they do score in American football anyway.

scoring in football

I think that you are thinking of a "touchdown," Bingley. When a team carries the ball (or catches it and retains possession in) the opponent's endzone, the team scores a touchdown, which is worth 6 points. Other ways to score in football: Point after touchdown: Upon scoring a touchdown, a team has an opportunity to kick the ball through the upright goalposts. If it does so, it gets another point. Two-point conversion: Upon scoring a touchdown, a team may, instead of kicking the point after, attempt in a single play to again penetrate the endzone with the ball. If it does so, it gets two more points. Field goal: a team may, when it has possession of the ball during regular play, attempt to kick the ball through the goalposts. If it does so, it gets three points. Safety: if a team traps the other team in its own endzone with the ball, the trapping team scores two points. For more football terms, and more precise definitions, see http://www.firstbasesports.com/glossaries/ftbglos.htm

quiz, Sparteye (to which I'm not certain my answer is correct): is it possible for a football game to end with a score of 1-0, and if so, how?

>a score of 1-0
And would you read that as "one nil"?

Apparently the Canadian Football League (CFL) has slightly different rules about numbers of downs and scoring which some say make the game more exciting than the American version. I'm not much into football so I'm not sure, but my national pride urged me to post this bit of info anyway. The very little football I have watched was CFL football, during the Grey Cup (our finals, equivalent to the US Superbowl but played a good two months earlier, and often in the snow). Any Canadian football fans on the board want to expand on that? (Rouspeteur/BelM/plutarch?)

The major differences between American and Canadian (ha! go ahead, everybody, fight about that terminology!) are: (1) the dimensions of the playing field, the Canadian field being larger; (2) the number of players, 11 in American, 12 in Canadian; (3) three downs to advance 10 yards in Canadian, but four downs in American; (4) in Canadian, a team can score one point for a rouge, awarded to a kicking or punting team if an opposing player is trapped in the end zone on a return play. For more details, see http://www.cuug.ab.ca/~leblancj/stampeders/compare.html

Sounds like a sports thread takeover to me and some people complain about food, mutter, mutter ... How about looking in "Loanwords from German"

sparteye, I believe vaguely that in some high school leagues, at least, if one team fails to show up the forfieted game is scored as 1-0 -- which can be important for league "tie-breakers" at season end.

Jo, you are so kind, and gentle.. it doesn't work.. you must out and out threaten a FOOD FIGHT to stop a sports thread..
maybe your threats don't work-- but when it comes to a food vs sports thread--no one wants to tangle with me! when i threaten food fight, sports talk stops.. (all this power is going to my head!)  Back to Birthday wishes, Please!

I really did set up a thread in Loanwords from German. I hope that y'all be very happy there.
To be honest, I might even join in as I haven't a clue about the rules of the football that is played with those big shoulder pads, looks a bit sissy to me, compared to a good old game of rugger!
Please continue in another place.
Now Helen, was that still too gentle?
