185.0. "Strange, obscure, funny, etc. nicknames" by SHALOT::MEDVID (Sitting waiting anticipating nothing) Mon Mar 19 1990 12:00

    I was in the Virgin Islands (St. Thomas) last week.  They actually have
    a university there (UVI).  Their nickname is the Bucaneers.  I think
    they have a soccer team and some "form" of women's basketball.  
    
    But anyway, mon, there was a soccer game going on between two local
    clubs.  One of the clubs was Rastafarian and their nickname was
    classic:
    
    
    
    
    Cool and Deadly.
    
    The newspaper article the next day had sentences like, "Cool and
    Deadly goalie I-Bashi-I played an excellent game, even scoring a goal."

185.2...and the 'Jays lost the game too!WMOIS::RIEU_DRead his lips...Know new taxes!Thu May 24 1990 09:1940
	TORONTO (UPI) -- Some baseball fans think the Toronto Blue Jays'
retractable roof SkyDome home should be renamed SexDome after fans
watched a couple make love in a hotel suite that overlooks the playing
field.
	Tuesday night, during the team's 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners,
those with binoculars could see an older man and a buxom, blond woman
having sex in their suite.
	Although the lights in the suite were off, the couple's room was
illuminated by a bank of television lights in the SkyDome.
	The incident Tuesday follows one several weeks ago where a male
guest in the hotel, built into the SkyDome itself, masturbated in the
window of his suite in front of thousands of Blue Jays fans.
	Police went to his room but no charges were filed because he
thought the window was fitted with one-way glass, SkyDome spokesman
David Garrick said.
	``A lot of the guests think it's one-way glass,'' Garrick said.
	``We're looking at putting tent cards in the rooms telling them
it's not and getting them to sign waivers when they book in,'' Garrick
said.
	Garrick said such behavior isn't condoned because ``we bill SkyDome
as a family place.''
	The SkyDome -- Toronto's $500 million sports and entertainment
facility opened last spring with the world's first fully retractable
roof -- has a 350-suite hotel built into its north end. About 70 of the
suites, which cost more than $600 a night during peak periods, overlook
the playing field.
	Garrick said the couple had finished by the time police arrived
Tuesday. Garrick said he didn't know if police told the couple what many
in the crowd had seen.
	Metro Toronto police Sgt. Brad Brigham said people who perform sex
acts in SkyDome hotel suites witnessed by those in the stands could face
criminal charges of performing an indecent act, which carries a maximum
penalty of six months in jail and or a $2,000 fine.
	However, to be convicted, the accused would have to be intending to
offend those they knew were watching, Brigham said.

    Ever hear of that place in Florida called "Boardwalk and Baseball"?
    
    Now Toronto can advertise "Bimbos and Baseball".

Nope, never been in Toronto in my life, eh...

Personally, I think this whole sordid affair is cheap, tawdry, and
disgusting.  Imagine a man wasting his seed in front of millions
of people with binoculars no less...

It tells tales of the lowest lows that human beings can sink to, and
tells just how demented our society has become....

Perhaps that's why I've enjoyed it so much ;^)

 hey is the movie note? ;^)

 Saw, I caught a movie last night that would have you crying: Dead Men Walking...

 These guys they call Zero Men have a plague that kills them in like two years
 so they have a little warp sense of humor in the games they play. The one
 you would have loved was they were playing russian roulette with a CHAINSAW...

 the motor starts and your throat is gone....  ;^)

    Arsenio showed a clip from Toronto a couple weeks ago of a couple half
    naked as they closed the curtain.
    
    They're going to turn that stadium into Toronto's Combat Zone! ;-)
