"The Netherlands defeated Spain by a score of SCORE to SCORE..."

Somewhere there is a bin of Netherlands jerseys and paraphernalia with "Netherlands: World Cup Champs!" stamped all over it.

On the other hand, I can understand that he'd be a bit emotional and want to share that with his SO.

Keep it in the bedroom with the light off where that sort of thing belongs!

;)

Why would you not want to see that in your bedroom? I'd keep the lights on, thank you very much ;)

If you can get a girl like that then, yeah, the rules change.

Things like this happen every so often. News rooms tend to have stories pre-written in broad strokes so that they can be published quickly when an event resolves (as with a sporting event or election) or happens unexpectedly (as with a celebrity death). So yes, somewhere there are unpublished stories of the Colts winning the last Super Bowl and John McCain being elected president.

A few years back, CNN actually accidentally published obituaries for a handful of still-living political figures. It was interesting to read what they had to say.

I don't know about World Cup gear, but the discarded, inaccurate jerseys and other paraphernalia from Stanley Cup finals are sent to refugee camps in Africa where the jerseys, at least, are highly prized for their resistance to wear and tear.

Huh, I never thought about the "wear and tear" bit but it makes a lot of sense. Those jerseys are tough.

I would take one of those. Let me know if you find some, it would make me feel better about the lose, you know, being able to lie about it.

"Gerald Ford dead today, and I'm gay."

That Gerald Ford skit is one of the best ever.

"Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves today." And he may have followed that with "He was delicious," but I can't remember.

I think he was getting her back for grilling him over the Switzerland loss. Apparently she really gave it to him...in a bad way.

It's sad that it's all over. What a great month! I managed to even get my wife all excited and watch all the Germany games with me. I'm gonna miss my daily ritual of: drinking coffee and getting jazzed for the 10am game, beer drinking starting at 2, for the 2:30 game, and I'm drunk by 4:30pm. It's not the worst thing in the world to be laid-off during World Cup month.

Hehe. So did you like the Germany games? I thought they played a good tournament (third again -_-') and some of their games were among the most entertaining by far.

Completely agree. Can't believe how poorly they played against Spain.

Spaniards get emotional about soccer.

Tough and made of quality material. Plus the fancy colours. There was a good article posted on here several months ago.

"Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves today. He was delicious.

Come on now. Do I really need to say he was delicious. That's just superfluous."

"Tragic news from Yorba Linda today as Richard Nixon's body rose from the grave and strangled Gerald Ford."
