Mass for Shut-ins: The Gin and Tacos Podcast
News:Politics
In 1972 a middling team from the Scottish Premier League played four exhibition matches in Nigeria and distinguished itself so profoundly with its pitiful play (and boorish attitude) that its name became a synonym for stupidity. Grousing about how much your host country sucks while losing 4-1 to a team of amateurs called "Stationery Stores FC" leaves a pretty profound impression, I guess.
The comedian through whom I became aware of this fantastic story is Nabil Abdulrashid.
