…to walk up to a urinal at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, the one actively overflowing onto the floor, and proceed to urinate into it, all the while complaining that you’re getting your shoes wet? Very drunk, I assume. I hesitate to note that this was after an Atlanta Thrashers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game and …

Copa Mundial
Go Ghana! Oh, darn… I’ve been watching plenty of World Cup Soccer this time around. The broadcast schedule has been convenient for me to watch at least a half-game during lunchtime at work.

Thank god there were no wardrobe malfunctions to deal with. Item: Could the Seahawks have been more lame? I don’t think so. They soundly beat themselves, despite any (disputed) referee …
