One of the great things about international football tournaments (that’s soccer to you deniers) are the lengths that some fans go to get photos posted on the internet:
A fan cheers during the Club World Cup semi-final soccer match between Brazil’s Internacional and DR Congo’s TP Mazembe at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi December 14, 2010.
Right. Nothing like putting the threaded axle of a bicycle wheel on your noggin, giving it a spin, and enjoying some self-trepanation while watching a soccer match. Of course, the bigger payoff is getting your picture posted a month later on The Overnight Open Thread.

‘Football’ (soccer) is a gentleman’s sport supported by hooligans.
Rugby is a hooligans sport supported by gentlemen.
Somehow, I feel a little better about the dumb stuff i’ve done.

these will be maps of the flooded areas, paid for by the aussie govt who can then use them to help the rebuild/recovery.
btw: do you have any links to articles about bad policy (global warming) and the lack of preparations for these cyclical foods? i have read some very disturbing stuff.

I think anyone who would try the rubbish at this time would be shouted down for being callous and insensitive. There are 1000s homeless and 51 people still unaccounted for. In some places the water is still as high as 2 story buildings. I haven’t seen anything on the mainstream sites yet. I think its still too early.
The only dumb comment I came across so far was this.

@ Lost:
i have one article that goes into depth about the lack of flood preparation becasue the ‘science was settled’ and there would be no more floods in queensland, in fact, there would not be enough water, so money was spent on a desalination plant and flood control was neglected…all becasue of bad science.

jokes for us married guys
(some good, some bad)
1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, then comes good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Ontario and mine is in Tucson .
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. “Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!” she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. Then she said “There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!” So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn’t running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was, she told me “In the Lake.”
8. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling “Am I too late for the garbage?” The driver said “No, jump in!”
10. Remember. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first name was Always.
12. I haven’t spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don’t like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault. My wife asked “What’s on the TV?” I said “Dust!”
Prebanned wrote:
Ditto.
@ savages_girl:
TFK posted a vid of a very little girl singing the National Anthem for her dad in Iraq (if memory serves);
Girl starts singing. Feels bug on foot. Looks at bug. Squishes bug.(does not stop singing) Starts to forget. Remembers and concentrates ’cause it is for DAD.(does not stop singing) Gets tired. Sits down. (does not stop singing) … Finishes song.
Hard to see that without a little mist forming on your face. I kept it until my PC crashed.

The rage against the wikileaks is a white hot burning fire among the left wingers. Oddly, they lacked this outrage about earlier, similar events. Obama has brought the water of patriotism to the dry desert of leftist politics.

I expect it to pass the House, probably with something of a bipartisan majority. The Senate is, of course, a different hurdle. But that is the Plan™ for the next two years: repeal and repeal, and repeal. Force the Democrats to reconfirm their committment to Socialized Medicine through multiple votes over the course of years, all the while educating the voting populace on the pernicious evil of this power-grab. Obama began his 2012 Campaign this week with a new slogan “Together We Thrivce!” Well, there is precious little thriving going on outside of Government Employment in today’s Obama Economy. ObnamaCare is one reason why this is. Obama’s unprecedented looting of the Treasury is another. We need to drive this home to the unemployed and underemployed in their millions, and to everyone who knows them in their tens of millions. Government has grown richer and more pervasive while the rest of us face unemployment or, at best, stagnant wages in a depressed job market where we are simply grateful to have the job we have.

Between their insistance that it was an accident and Obummer’sfuckup at the funeral, they are going to give this nut’s defense attourney’s enough ammunition to keep this in court the rest of his natural life.

Major League Baseball made the announcement Thursday. The game at Turner Field will cap four days of events that highlight civil rights history in Atlanta and all over the country.
Braves Hall of Famer Hank Aaron will be honored with a red carpet tribute. All net proceeds from that celebration will be donated to a foundation named in honor of Martin Luther King Jr
