A football funny to start the day

For those of us getting getting geared up for the upcoming US-England World Cup match (or just anyone who enjoys watching Yanks and Brits trash talk each other):

That is gorgeous.

Hell, even *I* knew about the 1950 World Cup upset. Granted, it is probably the ONLY thing I know about the World Cup, apart from the Ricky Martin song.

[corilannam]

Well, *clearly* it is the most important thing to ever happen in World Cup history!

That's better than the Philadelphia mayor's lame Stanley Cup bet... he said if the Hawks won, he'd work in a community garden and send the resulting produce to a Chicago food bank. Very civic-minded and all, but sheesh.

I do love the British idea of trash talking.

You going to be at Con.Txt, BTW?

[corilannam]

Wow, that is kind of a lackluster bet, especially given the... sporting enthusiasm usually shown by both cities. But hey, at least some folks in Chicago can look forward to some fresh produce!

I am probably not going to be at con.txt, sadly. I had put off registering because I wasn't sure what my summer schedule was going to be like, and now I believe registration is closed. :-(

LOL! Awesome!

I know, right? Though after rereading the exchange, I'm starting to suspect this was just a clever way of asking each other out on a date. *g*
