If you’re reading this in RSS land then you won’t have noticed but the ol’ blog has been upgraded to WP 2.8 (which I doubt you can tell from anywhere) and you won’t have noticed we have an all new theme. It’s not quite finished yet, still need to make updates to the sidebar, add [...]
Last week someone wrote a letter to the local paper complaining that it seemed ok to fly Canadian flags in the Valley, but not Mexican ones. Completely unrelated to his point in the letter, the writer had a go at football saying he preferred the kind of football where games didn’t end scoreless or in a riot. I put pen to paper and and my response appeared in Monday’s edition.
Voice: American football puts you to sleep
I write in response to the statement from Wednesday’s PROBE writer that he prefers his football with scoring and no riots.
I put it to the correspondent that the reason no riots occur in American football is that the crowd is fast asleep long before the game is finished.

It’s pointless – one more month and everyone will forget football. Playoffs and Super Bowl are all that are left – and neither will end scoreless.
As for riots, how about having a midfield orgy – just drop 60,000 condoms and a 50 gallon tub of lube midfield…and let everyone go at it.
wife: Did you enjoy the game?
hubby: It was ok – but it the end was a blast!

Not so sure Mexico is going to win, but I am confident that England certainly isn’t.

Nothing wrong with BSing yourself every once in a while with pipe dreams…
Oh, and that was supposed to be “You heard it HERE first.” D’oh.
