News Before it Happens: Landon to Create an International Incident
By: Laurie |Just in case you don’t read the comments, reader PocketKings has this theory about how the Galaxy-Iran friendly will play out:
AP Newswire – This just in, Landon Donovan creates international incident when he purposely crosses himself 50 million times before taking a penalty kick. After completing his hat trick, Donovan mimics the use of a [...]
No News But Beckham News
By: Laurie |There is nothing going on these days that doesn’t involve Beckham, so let’s catch up on David, shall we?
Seems our Becks was mistaken for a car thief in England. Because I know I personally have always found his looks a bit suspect.
Eyewitnesses have reported seeing police pull over a black 4×4 [...]
My Laugh Out Loud Moment for the Day
By: Laurie |This comment came from reader “Playtherapy.” It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking a Coke when I read it, because I’d now be cleaning it off my keyboard and screen.
I find it ironic that Yallop’s departure coincides with the advent of “sexy football”. Had Frank tried to produce “sexy football” last season, [...]
RSL vs. Galaxy Recap: “Hm…wonder how they’re going to **** this up?”
By: Laurie |Every once in awhile you read something that captures an event so perfectly and accurately that there is absolutely no improving on it. My buddy Jeff Bull at Center Holds It has written just such a blog post. It sums up not just last night’s game but the entire Galaxy season. Stop [...]
Beckham Did Not Score
By: Laurie |I’ll offer up comments soon on the Chivas Guadalajara game. But for now, since I’ve been gone all week with no internet access, I’m still processing the Chelsea game. In my processing…um…process I wanted to be sure you all saw the following comment from reader Pops94 (and echoed by reader Todd Pounds.)
Other great [...]
Posh vs. Bianca: Know Your Kitties
By: Laurie | My brother-in-blog Gianfranco sent me the link to this post with the following comment:
“Laurie, this has your name all over it.”
I’m not quite sure how to take that. But…um…thank you?
The link is to a fairly humorous post that pits Posh against Bianca (Mrs. Landon, pictured, because I am SO bored with Posh [...]
Another “I Wish I’d Written That” Post on Beckham
By: Laurie |I have NO time to write today, so instead I’ll just link you to yet another post I wish I’d written, “The Beckham Rules” from Footballs are Round. It includes all the new rules that will take effect once Beckham takes the pitch in July.
Among these new rules:
Failing to yield to [...]
The Ultimate Synopsis of the Galaxy-Dallas Game
By: Laurie |I believe I have come across a description of the game that pretty much says it all:
From Dan Loney:
The 3-1 loss tonight does not give new meaning to the word “pitiful.” It was, in fact, pretty much what they had in mind when they came up with the word.
That more or less covers it, doesn’t [...]
Dang. I Wish I’d Written That
By: Laurie |I’ve just started a new posting category called “I Wish I’d Written That.” It will generally be composed of things written by others that make me laugh out loud. (Ian, I will be venturing into my archives later to grandfather in your Scientology comment.)
Today’s “I Wish I’d Written That” award goes to [...]
A Posh-and-Scientology Comment that Deserves Its Own Post
By: Laurie |Every once in awhile I will receive a comment that makes me think: Damn. I wish I’d written that. And then: This deserves a wider audience.
