I had no idea the stomp-stomp-clap wasn't universal! I'd have really embarrassed myself at an English football game. lol ("Oh look, the American does it weird.")

Fun little scene! :D lol @ you motherwoohooing son of a glitch XD

[esmeiolanthe]

I only found out the stomp-stomp-clap wasn't universal when I was looking for a video to go in the note for this story. >.> The key to appearing smart and knowledgeable is to state your facts with Confidence. :P

Glad you enjoyed the short! Thanks for reading! :D

Since I don't attend let alone watch football or soccer (meanwhile being surrounded by other country people who live and breath Aussie Rules football) I have no idea. I do know at certain sporting events we go "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi,oi,oi!" and the NZ's do the Maori Haka, so I expect every country has there 'thing'

Lol Esme I love your non swearing too funny.

[esmeiolanthe]

I don't attend, watch or understand football or soccer, but I do know to do the stomp-stomp-clap. It happens at baseball games too, and I have been to a few of those.

It's real swearing -- it's just real sim-swearing. :P

Glad you enjoyed the story -- thanks for reading! :D

I've not been to a football game, but it was stomp-stomp-clap at everything I've experienced.

I love the non-swearing! And little Helen, too.

[esmeiolanthe]

You mean YouTube lied to me about British life?! :P Good to know, so I don't feel as out of place if I ever go to a sporting event in Britain.

Helen is a firecracker, just like her dads. I actually wrote the real swearwords down on my scrap of paper when I was writing on my lunch break at work... and then I worried that coworkers would see and I would get in trouble. >.> I tend to be a leetle bit paranoid.

Glad you enjoyed the story -- thanks for reading! :D

Aww, I bet poor Helen was disappointed not getting to watch. And keeping her upstairs didn't exactly protect her from the cursewords, either. :P (Your simlish cursing is hilarious, by the way! :D)

[esmeiolanthe]

Yes, Helen is a true gamer and would have loved to be there. For the cursing, I think of the English word I want to use, and then I have a "simified" equivalent. I bet you could figure them out if you wanted to. :P

Thanks for reading! :D
