Okay, whatever you've done to your name is kinda neat. As soon as the email comment notifications try to parse your name, they send *the entire rest of the message* backwards.
And, really interestingly, "view source" on your name from your journal page *does the same thing to the code*.
An invisible backwards encoding character, that I thought would just make the name line backwards like everyone else. Try copying my name line to Notepad, you should get an undisplayable character box, that's what it is.
Hard to tell - there's an unmatched "backwards" character in the previous email chain so the entire header set is printing backwards, but the comment itself did come out the right way!
It does appear to be. The "Felt like a bulldozer trying to catch a butterfly (lafinjack) replied to a comment you left in your LiveJournal post (http://theweaselking.livejournal.com/3200530.html). The comment they replied to was:" part is reversed, but the actual comment itself is right way around.
Yes! Okay, not the way you're thinking, but there is an action referred to as tackling, and it feels really satisfying when you do it right (as does executing a good tackle in American Football). Some of my most vivid memories from when I played soccer are of sliding tackles. (I was a fullback.)
Again, even though it's not the same kind of tackle as you're picturing, it shares the traits of being kinda dramatic, feeling really satisfying to accomplish, and often knocking somebody down. (The big difference, is that you're not hitting the other person directly; you're stopping the ball they're dribbling, in such a way that they trip over the ball leaving you in possession of it.)
Ah good times, good times. I miss playing soccer.
I really love both sports, but I can't watch soccer as covered by American camera crews. Ugh. American commentators using a a video feed from some foreign network, okay.
Tell that to the British football fans, who happily riot over a win as easily as a loss. You ever go to one of those games, you will be excited, whether you care about the game or not. It's just a feeling.
Sounds like I'll never attend a British soccer game, which is apparently just an excuse to fight during or afterwards. I've heard it's even worse in some other countries. At least fighting in the stands in US (and presumably Canadian) football is rare.

Date: 2009-01-14 04:17 am (UTC)I prefer the other versions simply because they're more fun to play (American football when I was young) and to watch now.
