- What game?
I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the game.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only human being who didn't know the game was
on. I thought the whole silly business was over and done with last week.
Oh well, you live and learn. For instance, today I learned (at about 5 pm
after returning from St. Louis and reading the Lit-Id emails) that there was
a person named Zidane. Zidane? Sounds more like a drug for headaches! Ha!
That was a good one. On today's evening news I saw a replay of le incident
du scandal international (that's French -- actually it's Southwest Creole
French -- as perhaps spoken in Utah (an old Kingston Trio routine for those
old enough to remember the Kingston Trio)). And now all the world wonders
why he did it. You've got to be kidding. He did it because he forgot,
that's all. It happens all the time. The forgetting, I mean. We're all
guilty of it, of forgetting that it's all metaphor. Like academia, like
religion, like business, sports is just another metaphor for head butting.
Metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, if only they could get that through their
thick heads. Almost everything is males head butting over females made
metaphor. And the gals love it.

I enjoyed watching the World Cup with people who mostly knew what it was
they were watching.
About halfway through the game, a friend called. He said "'zup, bro?"
(He's a radio personality and he talks like that.)
- I'm watching the game.
- What game?
I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the game.
