This one was pretty great.

The worst baseball team is also the most entertaining one. Kinda makes sense when you think about it.

Fuck your johnny come-lately klutzes and their single season of underperformance. Real losers underperform for decades and still manage to have civic leaders fund their stadiums by imposing new regressive taxes despite public votes to the contrary.

Fuck you for saying the mets suck. Only us Mets fans are allowed to state that.

I grew up in Fucking Bergen County, you fucking loser. I can totally fucking say the fucking Mets suck. I had to suffer through the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Fuck you and the High Horse your sister fucks every night.

Don't you call my brother-in-law a high horse. He's pretty damn short!

For what it's worth, in those pictures, I can totally understand the people colliding with each other as they try to catch the ball: they're focusing on the ball, because they wish to catch it. Tunnel vision and all that. If I were trying to catch something, I'd pay attention to it too - it makes catching it more likely than if I think "I wonder who else is near me, I'll have a look around, I'm sure there's time".

That said, never mind the Mets, I can settle this easily: baseball sucks. I've had more interesting bowel movements than that sport, which is so shit that the only countries that play it are the US and Japan, most other countries choosing fucking cricket over it. That's how bad it is.

The most fun I had with a baseball-related thing was pitching, in the Wii Sports thing: when batting, the only place you can hit it that is not a foul is into the pitcher's mitt. And because I don't play baseball but understand what the hardware and software want, I didn't try to actually throw a ball like most others did (it works out very poorly). Instead I held the wiimote like a fucking Harry Potter wand and flicked my wrist with the proper snapping motion like you do when hitting someone on the head with a stick. Zoom, 9,001mph ball, the batter didn't stand a chance.

This from an Australian who might watch Cricket. We all know the Australians suck at Cricket. The only good team is India. *cough*

Never mind the fact that Australia has been one of the best teams for the last 5 years running.

I think you'll find that England is the best.

Note: if you want to slag Australians off, I should point out two reasons you can feel free.
1. Australians will also do so - we will gladly admit our country is shit, and make fun of the "great sporting legends and heroes - role models for children" (in the arts of "playing a sport" and "getting drunk, exposing yourself in public, glassing your friend/wife and committing sexual assault"). At least, those of us who can spell our own names and understand that black people are, well, people.

2. I was born in Australia to two Australian citizens, but I'm basically British. Everyone thinks I'm English because of the accent (more Stephen Fry than Dick Van Dyke, though admittedly more female than either), my skin is nearly as white as my eyes, I benefit from a society built on the subjugation of the natives, I was born and raised in the only state that wasn't settled by convicts, and the town I came from had like one family of obvious Aboriginal descent and two Asian families for the longest time. So when crafting an insult, assume I'm British. That said, I'm also totally okay with that, because England is shit as well.

Douglas Adams would agree. At least, when he was drunk and bitter. Which was a lot of the time. Don't believe me? Read "Mostly Harmless". It's dripping with despondency.

Yeah, it didn't help that his publisher pretty much made him write it with a gun to his head.

They're minimizing your risk (assuming you're not their primary target).

Also that big scary number, it is because the DHS buys it amunition in bulk to save taxpayer dollars. That's the contact for the next 5 years and it adds up to a bit more than 1,000 bulets per officer per year and most of that is for manditory firearm training.

Aren't hollow point bullets also designed for penetrating body armour?
So it would be more dangerous for police officers as well if they fall into the wrong hands?

Actually the opposite, hollow points decrease penetration (and increase tissue damage).

Literally the exact opposite.

Armor Piercing and Hollow Points are the exact opposite thing.

Armor Piercing bullets are designed to expend a minimum amount of energy when they hit something, and therefore be able to penetrate it with maximum remaining energy to hit what is behind it.

Hollow Points are designed to expand the maximum energy on the very first surface they strike, doing more damage to that surface, and by extension, having less energy to hit what is behind.

Hollow Points are more likely than standard bullets, to do no damage to someone wearing Body Armor.
