Two first half goals from Padraig Brennan and Robbie Confrey set them up for victory as they lead 2-7 to 1-3 at the break.

Lilies enigma raises same old doubts

By Eugene McGee

 

When it comes to exhibition football there is no better team than Kildare to produce the goods. We got a great example of this in the first half against Offaly in Portlaoise yesterday when Kildare simply blew the opposition out of the water with a devastating opening quarter that gave them a 1-7 to 0-1 lead after 20 minutes.

This was textbook football as the Kildare wing forwards tore the Offaly defence to shreds. And with full-forward Ronan Sweeney dispatched far outfield, the two inside men, Alan Smith and John Doyle, caused mayhem in a stuttering Offaly backline who hardly managed to lay a finger on these dancing predators numbered 10 to 15.

Changed times indeed in a game between Offaly and Kildare but then, as far as Offaly football is concerned, we do live in strange times.

As has so often happened with Kildare over the years and still under the Kieran McGeeney regime, it seems, exhibition periods are often replaced by more searching queries from opponents and then the whole picture changes for the Lilywhites.

Kicks get blocked down, gaps appear in defence and terrible attempts at scoring are kicked wide from easy positions.

Unfortunately for Offaly, their chance to change the Kildare players from swans to ugly ducklings came too late because this game was over at half-time.

In the first half, Offaly played as poorly as I have ever seen in a championship game. Only the outstanding Niall Smith at midfield prevented a total massacre in that opening period in which Offaly managed a total of two points from play, while Kildare scored at will from play.

But then a situation that Kildare followers are very familiar with emerged after half-time.

The scoring rate dropped to the extent that they only managed three points in the opening 20 minutes of the second half.

Some substitutions, mainly veterans like Ciaran McManus, Niall Darby and Shane Sullivan, at least made their physical presence felt, and, all over the field, Offaly players began to remind us how the county used to play all those years against Kildare and everybody else in Leinster.

But, of course, the result had long been decided, so the Offaly cause was hopeless through the second half.

Most worrying for Kildare fans was the disappearance of the flair, the running at defenders and the well-constructed scores that had dazzled everybody in the opening half.

So, once again, we cannot be sure how good, or bad, this Kildare team are, but most people would say that, on average, they have the cut of a good championship team about them. That’s about the best we can say because a string of wides and signs of distress in the backline against forwards who were no world-beaters. This must leave some nagging doubts with McGeeney, as well as the fans.

That said, Kildare did win at a canter and are in pole position to reach the Leinster final, at least.

It is interesting to observe the referees’ behaviour nowadays following the decision inspired by the managers to scuttle the experimental rules.

So far, it is business as usual — pulling, dragging and other negative play largely going unnoticed.

Yesterday, within 20 yards of where the referee and a linesman were standing, Dermot Earley appeared to elbow Ciaran McManus, but no action of any kind took place. Some things never change.

Shirtless in Seattle

VASSALBORO, Washington: Prosecutors will review a complaint that a
waitress from a Seattle topless doughnut shop was outside the
business without a shirt on.

The Central Washington Morning Sentinel says a state trooper was sent
to the Grand View Topless Coffee shop on Saturday after someone
called in a complaint. Police say no one was charged, but the
matter has been turned over to the district attorney for review.

It’s unclear whether nudity outside the cafe is prohibited. Vassalboro had considered banning nudity altogether after the shop opened in February, but officials now are proposing to specifically regulate where, when and how such businesses may
operate. The revised ordinance comes up for a vote June 8.

 

Ghosts in the toilet

TOKYO  In a country where ghosts are traditionally believed to
hide in the loo, a Japanese company is advertising a new
literary experience  a horror story printed on toilet paper.

Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella
written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story
‘Ring,’ which has been made into movies in both Japan and
Hollywood. ‘Drop,’ set in a public toilet, takes up about three feet (90
centimeters) of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes,
according to the manufacturer, Hayashi Paper.

The company promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210
yen ($2.20) a roll, as ‘a horror experience in the toilet.’

Toilets in Japan were traditionally tucked away in a dark cornerof the house due to religious beliefs. Parents would tease
children that a hairy hand might pull them down into the dark
pool below.

Alive in a Morgue

FRESNO, California.  A coroner in central California says his
county’s morgue is so maggot infested that the larvae are
dropping from the ceiling. Fresno County Coroner David Hadden
gave a tour so the media could see the working conditions he
calls ‘intolerable.’

He said the deteriorating WWII-era morgue is a perfect breeding
ground for flies and their offspring. It’s in one of the hottest
counties in the state and lacks air conditioning.
Supervisor Judy Case says she’s aware of the problems and pledges something will be done. She says she did not want to
approve finances before the state’s special election Tuesday to
see what money Fresno has available.

 

True Story.

Mistaken Identity

(from Northwest Florida Daily News – 15 May 2006)

From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot.

The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts,
and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.

The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

True Story 2


Footballer transferred for 15 kg of sausage meat

A Romanian football team is apparently demanding a refund after having bought a player for a transfer fee of 15 kilos of pork sausages. Defender Marius Cioara retired a day later saying he could not face any more sausage related taunts at his expense. Cioara, who played for second division team UT Arad, was sold to fourth division Regal Hornia for the sausage meat.

After the deal a spokesman for Regal Hornia confirmed, ‘We gave up the team’s sausage allowance for a week to secure him, but we are confident it will be worth it.’ Howver, a day after the deal was leaked to the media, Cioara announced he was giving up football and had decided to flee the country.

Ananova the News agency reports that he said, ‘The sausage taunts all got too much. They were joking but I would have got more from the Germans and making sausage jokes was a huge insult. I have decided to go to Spain where I have got a job on a farm.’

True Story 3

Leopards Can Spot You In The Dark

A leopard’s vision is so good it can practically see in the
dark.

 

My, what big eyes you have Mr. Leopard. And the size of those
eyes, is why leopards are such superb, nocturnal hunters.

The size of the leopard’s eye allows it to dilate beyond the
range of the human eye, or the eyes of their prey, letting in
the very lowest level light. They go undetected in the dark,
while still able to stalk a victim through visual contact.

Scientists attempting to study the nighttime habits of animals
like leopards, were frustrated in their research until the
development of infra-red cameras. To understand what allows
images to be captured on film in the dark, it helps to take the
five-second lesson in how ‘light’ works.

Light exists in waves of different lengths, which also provides
us with the range of colours we see. At the shorter end of the
spectrum, you have violet light, and at the longer end, there is
red. Light is absorbed by, and bounces off objects, giving
illumination that enters the eye and allows us to ‘see’. There
are shorter and longer waves at both ends of the spectrum, all
of which are around us in everyday life, but invisible because
our eyes are incapable of picking them up.

Beyond the extreme end of the color spectrum that the human and
animal eye can see, is infra-red. While we can’t see these light
waves, researchers were able to create film that was sensitive
to them, and thus able to record in total darkness. The benefit
of course, is that animal behaviorists can film leopards and
other animals in their natural nocturnal state, without alarming
or disturbing them.

The technology that made this possible, has also produced light
sensitive items ranging from night vision goggles, to alarm
systems.

Humour.

 

Kilted Out

 

A young lad went to a tailor shop in Scotland. He told the
tailor, ‘I’d like ye to make me a kilt with this material here,
and if ye don’t mind, I’d like ye to make me a pair of matching
underwear for it. I hear it gets a might drafty up dem tings.’

A few days later, the tailor called the lad back to the shop.
‘Here’s ye kilt, and here’s ye matching underwear, and here’s
five yards of material left over. Take it home and keep it in
case you want anything else made of it.’ The lad rushed home and donned his kilt. He decided to run to
his girlfriend’s house to show off his new purchase.

Unfortunately, in his excitement, he forgot to wear his
underwear.

When his girlfriend answered the door, he pointed to his kilt
and said, ‘Well, what’d ye think?’

‘Ah, but dat’s a fine looking kilt,’ she exclaimed. ‘Aye, and if ye like it, y’ell really like what’s underneath,’
he bragged as he lifted his kilt.

‘Oh, but dat’s a dandy,’ his girlfriend shouted admiringly.

Still not realizing that he didn’t have his underwear on, he
exclaimed quite proudly, ‘Aye, and if ye like it, I’ve got five
more yards of it at home!’


Wonderful Threesome

 The newly wed wife said to her husband when he returned from work, ‘I have great news for you. Pretty soon we’re going to be three in this house instead of two.’
The husband started glowing with happiness and kissing his wife said, ‘Oh darling, I’m the happiest man in the world.’
‘I’m glad that you feel that way because tomorrow morning my mother moves in with us,’ she replied.


Portsmouth v Southampton

A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in West Hampshire and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Southampton fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Saints fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand expect one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: ‘Mary, why didn’t you raise your hand?’
‘Because I’m not a Southampton fan,’ she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked: ‘Well if you’re not a Saints fan, then who are you a fan of?’
‘I’m a Portsmouth fan, and proud of it,’ Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears.
‘Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Pompey fan?’
‘Because my mum and dad are from Portsmouth, and my mum is a Pompey fan and my dad is a Pompey fan, so I’m a Pompey fan too!’

‘Well,’ said the teacher, in a obviously annoyed tone, ‘that’s no reason for you to be a Portsmouth fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and you dad was a drug dealer and car thief, what what you be then?’

‘Then,’ Mary smiled, ‘I’d be a Southampton fan.’


Cyanide Request

 

 

A woman walked into a drugstore and told the pharmacist she needed some cyanide right away. The pharmacist naturally was concerned by such a request and asked, ‘Why in the world do you need cyanide?’

The woman then explained that she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he said, ‘I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license. They’ll throw
both of us in jail and all kinds
of bad things will happen! Absolutely not—you cannot have any cyanide!’

The woman reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, ‘Well, now. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.’

Small World

Two men were out playing golf on a nice Saturday afternoon.

They were getting frustrated, though, because the two women who were playing right in front of them were quite slow, and were holding up the men’s game.

‘Don’t they know their supposed to let us play through?!’ asked the first man.

The other man shook his head. ‘I’m going to go ask them if we can play through,’ said the first man, emphatically, ‘Enough is enough!’

He started walking over toward the women, but as he got close, he suddenly turned around and came back, white as a ghost.

‘Oh God,’ he said to his friend, ‘This is awful. You’re going to have to ask those women if we can play through. You see, one of them is my wife, and the other is my mistress!’

The other man shrugged, and said ‘No sweat.’

He walked over toward the women, and just as he was getting close, turned around and came running back to his pal. His eyes wide open, he said – ‘Small world isn’t it!
