Why does the winner of Mr Universe always come from Earth? - General Discussion Discussion

For the same reason that the World Series is set in North America.

Explain to me how England has the Premier League and Portugal has the Primeira Liga. They can't both be "premier". One of you are telling porkies. (See, I know my slang).

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (35042) 2 years ago

*sigh* Obviously it’s the premier league pertaining to that particular country.

reply

But if a Premier League team plays a Primeira Liga in Champions League, then those are two "Premier" teams from different countries in one tournament. My porkies comment stands.

[–] AndyKing1967 (35042) 2 years ago

That’s like saying only one country is allowed to have a Division 1, 2, 3 etc.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 2 years ago

Then explain why the division below Premier League is known as the "Championship" when it's not top flight. Porkies, I tell ya! Porkies!

"then those are two "Premier" teams"

No, one is a "Premier" team and the other is a "Primeira" team.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 2 years ago

It means the same thing.

reply

[–] Stratego (29526) 2 years ago

It's a different name, though. Trademarked as well. FC Porto, for example, wouldn't even be allowed to call themselves a "Premier League" team.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 2 years ago

I'm not being serious. I just using the term "premier" literal, as in there is no other top league.

reply

[–] Stratego (29526) 2 years ago

Yeah, but neither calls themselves the top league of the entire world, just of their own country. The "World Series" is a ridiculous name.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 2 years ago

I mean, forget about "world" it's not a "series" either.

reply

[–] Stratego (29526) 2 years ago

Really? I always thought there was a series of games, but I honestly know nothing about baseball.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 2 years ago

You play many series throughout the year, but to say that winning it means you won the "world series" doesn't make sense.

reply

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

it's a series of games for the championship. the world thing is a bit stupid.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (52970) 2 years ago

To say they won the World Series implies that the series is different than the other ones because they play World teams. They play a series literally the entire season and playoffs.

i would change it to mlb final/championship like the other leagues.

[–] sslssg (30223) 2 years ago

The NHL has teams from 2 countries. It's not even like we can go back and say oh it belongs to country X as the original 6 were still from 2 countries.

Contestants from other planet don't come on time so they get disqualified.

Fuck Mr. Universe. Mr/Ms Olympia are the only bodybuilding titles that matter.

I know you don’t know that, wimp.

Yet you think you are so clever. So next year is, what? Ninth grade?

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73538) 2 years ago

‘Fuck Mr. Universe…?’

Do you wish to have sexual relations with Mr. Universe or Mr. Olympia AND Ms. Olympia at the same time?
I’d wager Ms. Olympia has the same sized peanut as you.

NICE job calling someone a ‘wimp’ when you talk of ‘Katana Skills,’ rampant Best Buy electronic salesman achievements and your awesome ‘Lateral’ workouts LOL.
Overcompensate often?

Congratulations Kane, you are the second place most disliked poster here for four years running🥈

Lol, where did this even come from? The guy has 4 posts. That's hardly enough to even begin to draw that conclusion.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73538) 2 years ago

You missed nothing…Kane is one of two local jokes here.
He’s going to ignore you now as he ignores everyone for questioning his nonsense stories.

did anyone else block R_Kane?

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73538) 2 years ago

I don’t block anyone but I’d bet that You just got KANE-BLOCKED for asking LOL.

That’s his whole routine, if Kane were a superhero his powers would be condescension, running and hiding.
