A site dedicated to the most majestic, the most regal, the most utterly useless of recreational games: Foosball.
It all began in the 1920s, with a Frenchman named Leon-Blum, who invented the first foosball table that didn't suck.
He called it 'Balle à Bandes', which roughly translates to 'Stick 'Em Up, You Bloody Fool.'
Little did he know, this was only the beginning of a long, storied history of people hitting things with sticks.
Fast forward to the 1970s, when the first modern foosball table was invented in Chicago, USA.
It was a behemoth of a table, with its massive size and intricate mechanisms.
But, of course, it still managed to break down every five minutes.
Because, you know, that's what happens when you make a machine that's 50% stick and 50% ball.
Foosball, the game that's brought joy and frustration to countless people around the world.
From the basement dwellers of the 1970s to the hipsters of the 2000s.
We'll never forget the countless hours of our lives we've spent trying to stick it up, only to have it bounce back out.
But we keep playing, because that's what we do.
