I watched Empire last night for the first time in a few years, and something occurred to me. Why the hell didn't Luke just kill the wampa and stay in his nice warm cave, rather than running out into the cold like the moronic pussy that he is?

Alex Morgan in bodypaint. It's exactly what it sounds like. I don't know how it took me so long to come across (heh) this.

Anybody want to play FIFA12 on Xbox live? I'm 12 hours ahead of US EST, but message me if you want to have a go.

Jesus. +1

Yes, I like it. Some teams actually have their GKs take penalties. I think Tim Howard has done it once or twice?

I would love nothing more than to see Madrid sell him in the summer. He's just terrible. Then use all that Galacticos money to go buy Thiago Silva. Milan won't sell him, but man that would be sweet.

Why the fuck is Pepe still allowed on the field for Madrid? He's inconsistent at best as a defender, and always a huge liability to blatantly dive or try to take someone's legs off. Worst player on the team by far. I can't believe I got up at 2:30am to watch that shit.

That stings a little bit.

Yours sincerely,

That's not really accurate.

There's some dicknose who commented on the post about Terry's red just saying "soccer is boring". I really don't get that.

NBA suspends World Peace for 7 games

"I don't care who wins, as long as nobody gets hurt and everyone has fun."

You may be right. I think they'd both be good gambles with long odds, but I figured I need at least one dark horse, which is why I have Croatia coming out of group C instead of Italy. Germany and Spain are just in a class by themselves though.

Fahrenheit 451. I remember having to read it sophomore year of high school like most people, and thinking it was absolute crap. Just a terrible, terrible book.

I've put my winners from each group and elimination game in bold. I know it's kind of boring to have a rematch of the 2008 final, but I think they're the most likely to make it through because they have by far the best midfields of any country.

I absolutely cannot wait for EURO 2012. Weigh in with your predictions after the jump.

Why are you here?

HA! Bear-ish. Priceless.

I'm of the firm belief that the "number" conversation is never a good one to have. No matter what the answers, nobody leaves that conversation happy. I don't want my girlfriend, present or inevitably future, to know my career number and I don't want to know hers. Just get tested, and remain blissfully ignorant.
