it's a sad day in hell when an american is the first to put up the footie corner in anticipation of the
world cup.
germany has a hurdle right off with the loss of Michael Ballack. that seems to be the
common thinking. i think they'll do well though. i was happy to see there are 5 players from
Bayern München on the team.
i had a dream last night that my dad asked me who was going to win the world cup and i told
him italy. don't bet on it though. 2 weeks ago i had a dream milla jovovich seduced me and we
had unbridled sex. i'm still waiting. she probably wrote my address down wrong so don't be
surprised if the italian team doesn't find the stadium.

Sitar, if we could figure a way to turn your jokes into power,
youd be an endless source of clean energy and could single handedly put an end to climate change
believe me, there'd be plenty of power outages. emergency crews would be called out and told
"quick! get to the punchline!"
in terms of electricity i do try to keep my jokes "current".
i wish my jokes were used as a source of energy. i'd finally be on cable.
in most cases there'd only be a need to lay one power cable per metro area. my jokes are usually
one-liners.
power grids would be replaced by power grins.
natural gas would be called laughing gas.
lastly, there'd certainly be plenty of wind to go around.

calgary.. didnt have a good hockey team, but the football team was ok.
ya, Calgary had a brief stint in 86-89, In 86 they lost the final against us and then got their revenge in 89 against us again.
Anyway, back on topic, hope we get to participate in this world cup thing one day, we really feel left out of the paty when it comes to footie in Canada.

well I watched the first game of the world cup and i'm watching france v uruguay now. so far i can
say group A teams suck in the first half. lol
i have a serious question. i'm watching the games in the states on espn. throughout both games so
far there is a most annoying, rather loud background sound that is continuous, i mean non-stop,
throughout both games. it sounds like there is a bee hive very near the announcers. it also sounds
like a bunch of trumpets playing 1 note somewhere in the crowd. is this some sort of satellite
interference? is anyone else hearing this same noise?

sounds like those long horns played by buddhist monks except at a higher pitch. anyone else hear
this?

at the stadium. it's the spectators blowing these things all game long. how annoying is that? one
of the commentators just showed the thing and said "that's the sound you're hearing behind the
announcers all game." listening to that until july 11th. wonderful.
glad i was able to clear all that up for you blokes

if i was in the stands i would have bought one of those horns, hooked it up to a gasoline powered air
pump, leaned the horn against my seat, relaxed and enjoyed the game.

"Vuvuzelas have been controversial.[2] They have been associated with permanent noise-induced
hearing loss[3], cited as a possible safety risk when spectators can't hear evacuation
announcements[4], and potentially spread colds and flu germs on a greater scale than coughing or
shouting[5][6]. Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and compared it with "a
stampede of noisy elephants,"[7] "a deafening swarm of locusts,"[8] "a goat on the way to
slaughter"[9] and "a giant hive full of very angry bees."
i nailed the last description. thing is i didn't see one spectator blowing on one. i wonder if the stadium
throws on a "best of vuvuzelas" cd and pipes it through the sound system.
what a way to give away a win. that goal was simply horrible.
