KK 155: Springing Ahead...[R]

I'm Full Monty Smurf!

 

Rags doesn't think so.

 

My Smurf name: Stalker Smurf

Biker Outlaw Name: Bitch of the Popes of Hell MC

Hmmm. I'm detecting a theme here.

 

Awesome!! Hope got her starting position back?

That's great, man. I wish her all the best.































I mean, playing for the Canadian team will be much less daunting for poor widdle Solo, I'm sure.

 

Yeah, if I want to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to watch this game, I need to go to sleep myself.

Hell, is the sun even out at 11 a.m.?

 

It is... for the Men.

I don't understand it either.

 

:sniff:

Norway's playing physical again. They're doing the Old-school Norway shit!! AWESOME!!

******** THE FAIR PLAY AWARD!!!

 

Wow, Mel. You know who you sounded like just then?



I found my stash of postcards and x-mas cards from him the other day.

 

Well, that was about as much fun as a root canal. And now we get to face Germany. Awesome.

I suppose I should go take a shower now and get on with my day.

 

Isn't it interesting that the boards lit up during the match... but now it's like a ghost town.

Better for me... too much to do at work.

 

I could never get the matchtracker to start working.

BOOOO US Soccer!

 

I think most people are still at work or have other things to do. I'm off today, so I have the luxury of sitting here, cursing Ingrid's name.

And you have to admit, there's not a whole lot to discuss. Had Norway even scored just one goal, that would have been something for the U.S. fans to analyze. But a 4-0 blowout, most of which can be blamed on blatant keeper error, doesn't leave a lot to dissect.

Even a tie would have been better, I would think.

 

Agreed.

So... how 'bout them Braves!

 

Braves 2008 Season:

-- Decent to pretty good regular season. Slight skid at the end.
--Cox gets kicked out of a game.
-- Will make it to the playoffs.
-- Cox gets kicked out of another game.
-- Will choke in the playoffs, just like every other ATL team.

End of Season.

 

Do you remember a social cartoon in the Atlanta Journal from about 94 about Cox? It was when he was going to court for beating his wife. The cartoon showed him walking up to the pitchers mound. Just as he raised his hand to adjust his hat... the pitcher sheepishly and fearfully ducked while covering his head with his hands - much the way a beaten dog acts around its owner. I couldn't believe they printed it... but damn that was funny!

 

That HAD to have been a Mike Luckovitch cartoon. He's one of the best in the business.

I remember something about the cartoon, maybe I saw a reprint somewhere, but I was also 16 in '94. :sheepish:

 

I was in college in Atlanta. For some reason, that cartoon has always stayed with me. I'm not sure of the artist. Funny stuff.

 

Ooof. I've gotta start working on my Norwegian more. What I've been doing the past hour or two.

I just spent 10 minutes translating the following:

And then something about being a true atheist ... The question was tror or not tror, and I don't know if that could mean believe, or think. I would assume believe, as I don't know of too many other uses for the word atheist.
