The 3 Lions Will March Again
That's right. You heard it here first. Brazil's going down. Rooney's healthy and the Brits will reclaim the world championship for the first time since Wembley, 1967. And if any of you ADD, non-IQs types have the BALLS, this is soccer we're talking about, to comment here and tell me how boring soccer is, I say

I was going to comment about soccer, then I thought about, and promptly fell asleep.
okay, who else? I'll take a couple of you at a time, as it's not sporting to go one on one with weenies.
Turn and cough.
Oh, my aching hernia!
LMBO!
I just watched the England/Paraguay game. I LOVE soccer. Prince William is there in a jacket and tie. The crowd, 45,000+ bursts into an impromptu rendidion of 'God Save the Queen' at the 84th minutes. Beckham. Peter Crouch. Joe Cole. Lamperd. Nelson Valdez. I can't believe I'm here and the World Cup is there. card, card, card.
And I recognize this morning that kicking the shit out of my ignorant friends would be unseemly; so I will let my daughter do that for me. She should be arriving as soon as she gets a break in the action. Do NOT let them up, Peed.
btw Peedy, I thought Rooney was back ? I couldn't see him on the bench this morning--is he there, but just not playing?
WAVING GLEEFULLY TO VENDELLA & GLIB!
<----thas mah dautter!!
PDX, reading your post is like watching soccer. It just so darn long before anything interesting happens.
Vendella, My daughter is a highly talented and accomplished individual. In her 2 year old play group, of which she was the very youngest 2, she was the first one to potty train. The mother who had the oldest 2 and who was highly frustrated, had a party for playday, with cupcakes and decorations, etc and crowned my talented accomplished daughter The Peedy Queen. And this, of course, was the nickname that stuck. Peedy. PD Peed Peedy Pupperelli Pup PDX Pup I'm sure you get the picture. As she got into junior high and high school, everyone naturally leaned into calling her by her nickname, which she steadfastly did not allow. There are a half dozen people in this world who call her Peedy and about 500 who want to. She's a pipper. (laughing) so talented and accomplished to potty train first....we're all very proud of her. ;)okay Peed, you're up. Give her your version.
Peed! did you see that! they talk the smack but don't sign their name!
*laughing like crazy*
Vendella, my daughter has had quite an interesting spring at work. She has experienced some marked discrimination in the workplace--directed at her. Age discrimination by, get this,older women. Yesterday, some woman gave her a little lecture, putting her finger in Peed's face, saying, you have no idea what women have had to face in business and what we have had to endure in the last 25 years. Oddly, it's the men who respect her and actually defer to her, knowing her background and education but the women go after her and pursue attempting to put her in a place, young, educated, experienced whipper Peedy that she is....
Damn, my little comment, for which I was BAITED to post, has raised a firestorm! It's like I poked a stick at a beehive or something. I love it!
"PDX, reading your post is like watching soccer. It just so darn long before anything interesting happens."
EXACTLY!!!
Ummm, that play group woman who threw the big party for the first of the group's kids to be potty trained.... uhh, she had wayyyy to much time on her hands.
As to to the female on female gender discrimination, this is nothing new, I've read/heard about it for years. Seems the older "broads" who made it, don't like the idea, at all, of the new up and comer females, "having it easy". You'd think they'd be mentor-like, but NOOOOOOOO. It's like hazing or something, and really quite stupid, and far too prevalent.
GLib, I hope PD comes by tonight so she can recap what she had the distinct pleasure of detailing for this woman. Another area she experiences age discrimination is in coaching by ... you guessed it, the mothers. When they do not like coaching decisions, they take her aside and give her performance reviews or a personal assessment. She listens for a few rounds, then interrupts these women, looks them right in the eye and says, I'm positive you wouldn't be talking to me like this if you were my age and I was your age.
The other mothers make her scrapbook s and cookies and bring her presents and send her cards. It takes all kinds but by and large, the people in the workplace who are the hardest and most ungenerous to her are women. That fascinates her and me.
