Are you going seriously weighing your personal experience kicking about with your mates favourably against the testimonies of many of the planet's best footballers? Are you saying that if you could do what most of the top 500 players in the world cannot?
Yes .

Maybe do a tour of the street performers in the area? In Boston, they collect in really only two places.

I suppose that could depend on what the intelligentsia in question prefer. As for me, I can only disappoint one woman at a time.

The intelligentsia don't really go in for lube and paddles.
They are more a clamps and humiliation crowd.

It you want to hear English as it was truly meant to be spoken, talk to a mid-westerner.

An amateur argument. The fine difference of an ounce or two on my bike frame makes no noticeable difference in my performance, but matters at the professional level where the margin of victory is incredibly narrow. I can definitely see how a strange ball might throw one of his/her game.

First date should be dinner at a quiet location, or walking around a festival or something. Always allow ample opportunity to talk. No concerts, and of course most women are not impressed by a guy who opts for a movie on the first date. But I'm sure you knew that.

What a coincidence. I decided today to sculpt my hirsute chin in the manner of King Leonidas because I will look cool. I consider this a sign from providence that she approves.

How many scenarios in which this is reasonable don't involve failure to practice with the new equipment well in advance of show time?
