I hope so.

 

Or perhaps did you actually mean to write "Supersole" ("best brand athletic

footwear the world over")?

Yep, they're all gonna burn in hell for that. I am glad we got this cleared up

know, knowing who we are better than and all. Yes along with women, no soccer

players can do this and that.

 

Geesh, who cares, considering all the problems in life, and ISKCON, if someone

in a fit of weakness decides to kick a soccer ball?

 

I know -- someone who's idea of excersize is banging on a Com keyboard. Talk

about frivolous sports!

 

Know, if our GBC started playing tennis at the Mayapur meetings, that would be

curious.
