From Rio:
Zidane y va marquer... Zidane, il a marqué!
OK, so the photo and caption are a bit dated, but what the hell--I thought they deserved to be posted. One last reference to the World Cup this summer, and--in case you missed it--one last link to how the French react when Zizou scores a goal.
Of course, the latest sporting event to hit Paris was the good ol' Tour de France. Props to Floyd Landis for taking home the yellow jersey with a bad hip--and when I say bad I mean in need of replacement bad or so bad that Landis has problems walking bad. So let's see: Americans have dominated the Tour for how many years now? First it was the cancer patient, then the bum hipster--next year it'll be a jaundiced midget with a club foot. Ha! Kapow. Le nain y va marquer!
So the Tour marked the only time that I was on the Champs this trip. And that's just fine with me. God knows I hate Times Square (with the exception made for the ESPN Zone) back in NYC. Same friggin' deal. Did I ever tell you about the time when a tourist asked me where she could buy CDs as I we were standing in front of the Virgin Megastore? I shit you not.
So what else can I draw to your attention to?
My favorite pundit Ann Coulter thinks Bill Clinton is a latent homosexual. Serious. I guess people will say anything for attention. Check out the transcript (which gets even better) or the video from the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch.
You really are something else, Ann.
Murphy's Law demonstrated.
The movie Office Space performed in 30 seconds by... rabbits.
Porkchop sandwiches, curtesy of G.I. Joe.
Gnarls Barkley + Notorious B.I.G. = The Gnotorious Gnarls Biggie
Stop-motion animation is cool--especially when Tetris is involved. Check out JelleVanDun's My Animated World.
What are friends for, right?
Grandma vs. the Mormons. Did I hear a "pigf**ker" in there?
Ok, that's all for now. Only 8 days left in Europe. Two exams over the next two days. And yet somehow I find time to hopefully keep you all entertained. Later.
