Australian rules football, American football, or soccer?
Aussie rules football is pretty fun to watch. I recall a surprisingly emotional debate on television there that seemed to concern a proposed change to the shape of the ball; I think one of the commentators called another "cobber" or "digger," which don't sound complimentary.
Dunno. An Australian publication said 'football'. That rules out American football, I think, but I can't tell between Aussie rules and soccer.
"Essendon VFL Football Club, nicknamed The Bombers and often referred to as the Essendon Reserves, is an Australian rules football team that plays in the Victorian Football League."
Whatever happened to below the fold, LB?
(That's from Wikipedia.)
Wouldn't explicitly asking him to shave full-body be a help with this sort of project?
Victorian Football League
That would be so much better as a league where all the players dressed in period costume.
How do you know how much hair to expect on an Australian Rules football player?
10 to 8, and I don't know, come to think, to 9, never having had occasion to examine one close up.
I thought maybe you got a new hobby.
What does playing with a soldering iron have to do with anything?
When I was a kid, I used to disassemble old electronics. I was getting for some unspecified future project. I'm still not quite sure that there isn't a box of used resistors in my parents' basement.
That guy is freakishly hot until they make him into a horrifying nightmare vision.
Oh, now I am remembering Slim Goodbody.
16: And now I can't think of anything else.

"V.R. who? V.R. the champions!"

Mouseover text?
15: That was exactly the dynamic that made me nostalgic for old-time Unfogged.

OT This is ridiculously good -- a 1957 political calypso song, "The Situation in Trinidad" by 22 year old Mighty Sparrow.

13 Less nasty burnt hair smell if the football players shave.
It's like people haven't even seen this music video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnO3nijfYmU
with the OP relevant bit from about 2min 50.
Still slightly mind-boggling that that was a widely played video from a very mainstream pop star.
24 Who doesn't appreciate nice hunks served extra rare?
Okay, so this doesn't really go anywhere, but prompted by 15, the other day at the State Fair, I saw a STP cop directing traffic -- and he had a faux-hawk! Not super huge or anything, but dyed sorta strawberry blond. What is this world coming to?
16 implies that the Slim Goodbody guy was freakishly hot. Which suggests I should do something very different with my hair.
15: I don't know, his six-pack abs in musculature form look kind of cartoony to me. Maybe they hadn't finished yet? He doesn't have any groin muscles yet.
I think it is awesome, and approve its above-the-fold appearance.
While scrolling up and before seeing the post title, I saw the pictures and thought, "something to do with Labs."
I have never seen the video linked in 24 before and holy crap! It's all going so generically until about 2:50. I had no idea Cronenberg even did music videos.
2: no, "cobber" just means a bloke, a dude, a chap; and "digger" means an Australian, and specifically an Australian soldier (though not always).
It's pretty difficult to insult an Australian though. And god knows I've tried.
Tell them they're shit at cricket?
I'm assuming the video is Robbie.
Yes it is.
Apparently one can call them a Drongo, a Bogan or a Bludger, but that just makes one feel silly.
37. This clip of a Drongo suggests how it could easily come to stand in for the sort of bloke who makes an arse of himself running off at the mouth.
To me, "Robbie Williams makes bizarre and controversial video" is up there with "Strasmangelo Jones writes hilarious website". WTF?
I was always very envious of guys with no body hair.
I always wished I could grow a better beard. Maybe the back hair isn't needed.
