My blog n'at

Yesterday I went to my first ever rugby game (Pittsburgh Rugby Football Club) so I could see the beloved Annoyed Angel and Calipanthergrl kick some skulls as part of  Asshat Tweetup celebration. In fact, I’ve never even watched it mostly due to the fact I have no idea the rules and from what I have seen on commercials never appealed to me. I’m not a big American football fan so the desire was never there. In attendance was myself, Uncle and Mrs. Crappy and Dahcheet. Some impressions of my first rugby experience

• Every single woman on this team would kick my arse. The men’s team would destroy me.
• Fun level of watching reached insane level. I loved it!
• Bring a flask. You won’t be alone.
• There’s a definite attraction to women in shorts… covered in mud… tackling each other. Total hawtness!
• Athletic ability to play this game is immense. Claire was explaining the rules and play to us while she waited to get into the game. And you thought hockey was confusing. HA!
• The action is non stop. The only break in play is if someone was dead. GAME ON!
• Team sports should be this classy. When the women’s team left the field the men’s team made a human tunnel and cheered the women as they left the field and passed under.
• Overall enjoyment – 10 out of 10. If you ever get the chance I highly suggest you check out a game. Lasted roughly 2 hours and on a sunny day it’s quality entertainment.
• Final score: Pittsburgh – 80 | Severn River – 0

Here are some pics that I took with my camera phone.

There were some sweet gifts bestowed upon myself from Uncle Crappy and Clarie but you can read about those later. They’re worthy of their own post and deserve the attention.
