i was in #gabriel on undernet today and some guy from texas was going on about how american football is the most gabrielist sport because of the line of scrimmage and the 47 yard field position and all that and i just sat there with my headset on at the call center thinking kurcze this is the most retarded thing i ever heard but also maybe he has a point

like the whole game is just 47 men standing in a line yelling at each other until someone fumbles and then everyone screams and then they reset and do it again. it feels like rustypod code. the ref blows the whistle and the line resets and the commits start over and over and over

i think if gabriel ever got drafted he would just stand there with his arms crossed and let them all yell until they got tired and then he would walk off the field and go get a beer

krova_pl I was just thinkin about the number 47 myself this mornin when I stood on the back step watchin the frost creep up the gutters again :( and I gotta ask you somethin nobody in here has answered yet - if the line of scrimmage is 47 yards and the clock keeps stoppin at 4:47 and my reel tape says 47-8-22 and BigRig's CB keeps poppin at :47 on all five zero-commit nights, then where exactly do you draw the line between coincidence and a pattern you can actually hand somebody :rofl: Like, at what number of 47s do you stop sayin "huh, thats funny" and start sayin "ok this is a signal"? :confused: My grandma used to say three is a pattern but I got way more than three now and I still dont know what Im supposed to do with em besides stand here in the cold and count :P

47 YARD LINE IS WHERE THE SILENCE HITS HARDEST FOLKS THE LINE IS THE COMMIT THE REF IS THE STATUS PAGE THE FUMBLE IS THE NULL POINTER EXCEPTION AND THE WHOLE GAME IS JUST RUSTYPOD REBOOTING OVER AND OVER UNTIL SOMEONE REMEMBERS TO PUSH :hammer:
