Once again it takes an Englishmen

*weeps with joy*

nice but I'll stick with spear fishing, dont quite have the money to toss cars of of cliffs

That is why it is the sport of kings. FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!

...................

The "Sport of Kings" was Horse-Racing, gentlemen... either with or without chariots.

Skeet-shooting was like Fox-hunting and SteepleChasing, something that the nobles of England came up for entertainment during their week-long Estate Parties during the early days of the Empire.

Don't forget polo. The royals are quite fond of that one. Since the future King of the United Kingdom actually plays polo, I'll take that as more definitive proof that it is the Sport of Kings. And, of course, one should always bear in mind that Footballers often recieve OBEs, and people who go clay-pigeon-shooting or car-shooting kind of don't...

So there's three sports infinitely more likely to win the 'Sport of Kings' title... those of you ready to challenge may begin presenting evidence against that claim may do so now...

Datum: One needs to be as wealthy as a King to take up the sport of shooting flying cars with anti tank weaponary.

However, the team of Top Gear is merely wealthy, and is clearly not a team made up entirely of royalty; they do not have any royally bestowed titles, and kings do not shoot flying cars. If it was truly the Sport of Kings, would Kings not be playing it?

They did it once and paid with from the television shows budget not their own pocket. Try to think beyond nit picking Narsil.

You don't know anything about Top Gear, do you? You don't realise that stuff like this (not exactly this, it varies) is a regular occurrence. And besides, I said Top Gear team, you took that to mean the three blokes who present it, not the whole crew.

The fact is that Top Gear is not involved in any way with royalty, and they're the only people who have done car-shooting as if it were clay-shooting. Do try to think beyond nitpicking, frigid.

You don't know anything about Top Gear, do you?

You don't know anything about television do you? T.V. shows get their budget from elsewhere not the crew or actors on them. Does the word Producers mean anything to you?

Do try to think beyond nitpicking, frigid.

Holy Fuck Boy. Take your head out of your ass. We are discussing an idea presented by me. Mainly that shotting at cars as if they were skeets is a Sport of Kings. You Sir are nit picking and opposing the idea. I am defending it. In other words, you're the only moron here nitpicking.

Don't try to be clever kid, you only hurt yourself.

Wow. Your arrogance disgusts, Narsil. You really crawl up my ass, you know that? Frigid is clearly enthused by this, and points out, yes, if you want to shoot cars like this, it's a helluva more appropriate sport for kings than so many others.

Then you come in and nitpick an American because he's not familiar with the show! And do you stop there? No! You try to be an arrogant shithead and quote back at him. It's not like Frigid was nitpicking; that remains on your shoulders.

In short, kiddo, shut the fuck up. It is nice that you've not grown up since I crushed your pitiful nonsense on SDN, but you could try surprising me once.
