My life is funny. Is everyone's life funny?

You're right, we may need to use one of those new medicated ones. Or we could just put a ton of lotion all over a king size bed sheet. . .OR better yet, mother nature should go to a nursing home . . . it shouldn't be our job to clean up her messes.

I've decided I like this World Cup. Mostly because the rules/goals are easily defined. They run around kicking the ball to each other until they can get it in the goal. The (aptly named) goalie tries to prevent it.

I understand tennis, soccer and ping pong. There's no complicated second down and 9, conversion, travelling, fumble stuff.

And the ball is big enough that you can see where it went....not like baseball, where the ball kind of disappears when hit and then shows up in the outfield.

Next the US plays Italy. The teams are really friendly to each other. I would like to be employed as a "trash talker". I would yell things like, "Go cook some spaghetti! We're going to turn you into pizza topping!"

They could have a trash talker, too...who would say things like, "The Statue of Liberty is a ho! Go eat a Big Mac!"

Team Italy - hubba hubba spoink!

Hands up those who understand the 'offside' rule???

[quirky]

It's when someone's off their side.

That's as good an explanation as any!

My Dad explained it years ago with salt and pepper pots as the defenders, and the bottle of vinegar as the striker inching that little bit too far up the field! Seemed to make sense in a strange condiment kinda way.

Way to go Niobe's Dad!

I'm really getting into the world cup as well. . .Which is weird considering I HATE sports. I really only find myself interested in the outcome. . . the actualy game play becomes redundant and tedius after a while.

I heard today that the most shoplifted book is...
....wait for it.....

The Bible

So, do you think they get to the ten commandments and go, "Nooooooooo!"

Is it just me? Or does it seem like everything in the store all of a sudden (or gradually but rapidly) comes in way too many varieties. There was a whole side of an aisle dedicated to WATER today.

And this is bad...because little old ladies stand in front of a shelf section for several minutes before deciding what barbeque sauce to buy and you're waiting patiently nearby with your cart and a killer wedgie that you can't do anything about because there are too many shoppers around. And yet, you understand her plight because there are WAY TOO MANY OPTIONS!

I first noticed this in relation to Dawn dishwashing liquid. How many years did it come in blue in a nice bottle? Now they have pink, orange, green...the green is green apple...don't get that one, because if you wash a pan that your cooked bacon in with it...it develops this pukeworthy scent....

Now they have foam! Where it's already foamy! I'm a conscientious objector to the number of options Dawn gives! So I only buy the blue one.

If this perpetuation of a plethora of options continues, they're going to have to open up different branches...like "Wal-Mart Dairy Shop" "Wall Mart Detergent Shop" "Wal Mart meat Mart".

It's like that scene in "Moscow on the Hudson" when the family sends Robin Williams to the store to buy coffee after he's defected from Russia. He sees the choices and passes out from a panic attack because he doesn't know what to do...

[quirky]

And now it's even worse! You don't have to be an illegal alien to pass out from the force of sheer choice!
