basketball

An American variation on the English girls' sport of netball. Netball is somewhat challenging as it places an emphasis upon throwing accuracy by forcing participants to stay on the spot in which they take possession of the ball. These rules were relaxed to allow the less-skilled-than-English-girls American players to run with the ball.

Chap number one: What-ho, Jeremy! The Yanks are playing netball!
Chap number two: Goodness, no, Cedric, that is one of their sports, they call it basketball - look, no gals and the rules are relaxed!
Chap number one: Bless their cotton socks.

Market basket

A Massachusetts Chain food store that doesn’t like advertising, and offers shitty quality products because you get what you pay for. Their chicken smells and tastes rancid, veggies don’t last long, and I’m surprised I didn’t get food poisoning from their seafood. The store is predominantly low income, blue collar, and suburban living humans. Nothing in that store is gourmet and it smells. Their meats are packaged instead of the butcher case. The vibe is shitty and I now understand why nobody in Boston food shops there. They have no city vibe whatsoever. It’s a sad and ghetto store.

One time my older brother asked if I wanted a ride to the grocery store. I said sure. Then he asked which Market basket I wanted to go to, and I looked at him crazy and said I’m too good to shop there. I go to Whole Foods, there meat is very gourmet and they care about you. He tried to talk me into shopping at a nasty store, and that everything there is all the same. I laughed and said No thanks. It’s my money. He still took me to wherever I wanted to go to.
