Why is there no NFL team named The Dragons?
The Swedish floorball league used to be dominated by a team called Balrog. It's a pity they had to be from Stockholm.
hi everyone
best wishes for your health CJ!

Are you ever amazed that some people in this world have survived for as long as they have?
I'm surprised our species has survived this long.

Rant time.
I am sick of being patronized by people who refer to my illustration / fine art work as "decorative art" just because it doesn't have any sort of political or social commentary worked into it. I mean, seriously, it's a painting of a f#!*ing dragon. Do you want me to put Newt Gingrich's face on it? No f#$@ing way. The reason I won't put Newt Gingrich's face on my dragon isn't that I'm a Republican, it's because then the painting would SUCK. And the fact that you're calling the existing artwork "decorative" cheapens the amount of work I've put into it. This is not something I enjoy doing, and it's certainly not something I'm good at, so you'd better at least view it for what it is (a mediocre painting of a f***ing dragon) and not for what it "should be" in your eyes.
For those of you who are curious, no, there is no painting of a dragon, though there may be in the future. This was more of a hypothetical scenario closely based on a conversation I had this morning.
I want a picture of a dragon. That looks agitated. Like Newt.
I'm terrified to be asking, but.....
....floorball?

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, despite repeated requests not to, Ted continued to bring up the rather disturbing Monitor Lizard incident at parties. Meanwhile, Greg was flabbergasted when Marsha made a fool of him by posting a picture online of him in a compromising position with the neighbor's pet gecko. And, across town, an escaped Komodo Dragon was soon found.....No, wait! That's my soap opera.
Welcome, Dementrius. Hasn't it been a long time since you stopped in FAWTL? Aren't you also an Aussie?
And I see that despite all protests, Urizen is back, and breaking the politics rule...

Interesting? It's an ECL 5 room!
Why is there no NFL team named The Dragons?We have the Dragons in the NRL..... But we also have the Eels, Rabbits, and Roosters.wow, those are some weird names. Do they have mascots to go along with them?
Some people just don't see anything wrong with weird names/mascots. While visiting sc, I was informed that the gamecocks were the greatest team ever, and encouraging this belief was directly related to my ongoing good health and ability to walk.
The Parramatta Eels are a very old team - the Parramatta river was full of eels and they were slippery vicious bastards by all accounts. When the game became professional and the new owners were looking to change the name they were told by the fans that they would not make it out of the club house alive.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs. If you saw the movie The Gangs of New York and remember the Dead Rabbits gang it's the same thing. South Sydney was where the Irish working poor lived "dead rabbit" = hard as.
The Roosters are called that because they are a bunch of rich cocks! Show pony pretty boys and male models. They must be crushed killed and destroyed.
The Dragons come from the St George region, I am not sure why they didn't call themselves the Knights.... Logic and football dont often go together.

That's right! While Blink Monkey throws blink poop as a ranged attacked, zombie closes the gap to deliver a vicious bite attack or three.

I realize the threat, but I'm not to worried about my ankles being badger-gnawed. :)Also: WOOT!!! Booked my flights for PaizoCon.

Thanks man. I'm a habitual lurker and derive huge entertainment from the FAWTLies.
My Aussieness has been critically acclaimed by a panel of international jurists.

"Parramatta" in the tongue of the Darug peoples literally means "the place where the eels lie down".

My question is this: How many rounds before you rage?

Just look for the scrawny, pale guy with the zombie-themed shirt (I've got one for each day). I'll likely be drinking either Dr. Pepper or beer.
Gratz oh Great Rabid Dire Badger!
