Hank!! Pay attention!! Tuxes are not formal wear. Sheesh.

Summer Kampf.

I just saw the replay of the game. I saw what you (well, TM) were talking about. First he did a fist pump. then he came upfield, and gave a left-handed, stiff-arm wave to the crowd (like a guy in college who got a foul called on him). I could see how it would look like a nazi salute, but I think it was just a wave--his arm was at about a 45 degree angle up, and 45 degrees away from his body. He would have been shot by the nazis for such a sloppy salute. That, and he had a polish name. So he would have been shot for that, too. And, if not, then the Russians would have done it.

Ukraine hug me if you want; all of a Sudan I feel the love

They dropped the "the" with independence. The "the" suggests a subsidiary-sort of relationship.

Man, sometimes I sound like a lawyer.

"Le Guen" is French for "wee baldy prick."

You left off Tunisia-Saudi Arabia and US-Italy. Sweden-Trinidad was also pretty good, for a 0-0 game.
To Bobby McMahon about the Netherlands-Portugal game, it was violent, sloppy, disgraceful, and I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. I thought it was a lot of fun.

Sweden-Trinidad is a good call, and I'll put US-Italy there since it is the only game where the US eve kind of showed up. I only saw the end of Germany-Poland -- not a snoozer.

Caption please:



Sure, y'all can choose from any of the themes present here, what with the weird combinations of Koizumi, Bush Lisa-Marie Presely and Graceland and all. Me, I'll concentrate on this photo's focal point and just call it Prelude.

If someone travelled forward in time from 1972 to today, and this video was the first thing he saw, I think he'd be a bit confused.

But to me, this says everything that needs to be said about 2006.

Italy

Conclusions drawn:

(1) The problem with Paris is that it's full of Parisians. To a lesser extent, the same can be said about Rome. Excluding Romans, Italians are wonderful people;

(2) Stereotypical Italian-Americans are an embarrassment to Italians. Especially the ones from New York. My mother is 100% Italian - I'm ashamed to be connected to these people. They are so unlike actual Italians that, on a spectrum, Italians and Italian-Americans would be on opposite ends. Even in Italy, these guidos think they're Italian when it's painfully obvious that they are Americans who have watched Goodfellas way too often. Yes, your grandmother might make a good sauce. She may have actually been born in Italy. You, on the other hand, are American. You know 5 words in Italian. Stop watching the Sopranos and open your fucking eyes, you dumb fuck.

(3) People rag on American tourists for being annoying, loud and dressing like slobs. This is true. Of course, it's also true about tourists from any other country;

(4) The conventional wisdom that Italians are stylish needs to be put to rest. Granted, the men and women who dress for work in Rome blow similarly situated Americans out of the water. However, their casual wear is just as embarrassing as ours. Mancapris, sleeveless shirts, colored sneakers and horrible sunglasses do not equal "fashionable". That being said, English tourists might be the worst casual dressers on the planet;

(5) It's fun to watch the World Cup in Italy;

(6) Rome is dirty. It slides by on history and would be a third-world city without its history. Regardless, its history is amazing;

(7) All waiters/waitresses should work for tips. Getting a second beer in Rome is nearly impossible;

(8) I remain convinced that Germans/Austrians are the nicest people in Europe (outside of Ireland). The Dutch are friendly as well;

(9) The Amalfi Coast has no comparison. It's gorgeous.
