      <![CDATA[@6 Amazingly, very few players wear cups.  Almost all of them are wearing compression shorts, which keeps the grundus snug.<br />
<br />
With the advent of extensive weight training and targeted nutrition, a lot of the pads (Thigh, Hip, Tail) of yesteryear aren't used anymore.  Players carry an extra 15+ pounds of soft muscle for protection.

      <![CDATA[Grundus is a wonderful word.  I'm putting it into my personal dictionary and yes, I will be using it.  Also, @7, isn't it interesting that "fundament" is the root of "fundamentalism" (in the typical-tea-bagger-religio-political sense, not the distal aperture sense but equally appropriate).

      <![CDATA[Interesting thing about that letter þ, called a thorn:  It's pronounced the same as 'th' but many early printers didn't have it, so they used 'y' instead. Hence 'Ye olde Curiosity Shoppe'.  They didn't actually say 'yee', they were just bad at typesetting.
