La Coupe du Monde
I was watching my first world cup football game ever yesterday to see Italy v. France. I was cheering for France because they have better wine and cheese, but then I was *really* cheering for France when that Zidane guy headbutted the Italian dude!

Seriously, who says French guys are wusses?!

I've been practicing his move (the Zidane) against various padded objects in my apartment (i.e. couch, pillow, exercise ball) and plan to use it the next time a homeless person asks me for crack money. Although I felt kind of dizzy this morning when I tried to headbutt the snooze button on my alarm clock.

We were all really wondering what the Italian dude could have said to set Zidane off. I think he said something like "Your momma's a spicy meatball! Gorgonzola Macaroni! Estupido Zucchini!" And then Zidane said "Croissant baguette!" and let loose.

This leads me to another idea - a streetfighter-type video game where people say the most stereotypical and culturally irrelevant thing when they do their power moves. Instead of "Yoga Flame!" or "Ha Doo Kin" they'd say "Chicken Tikka!" or "Sashimi!"
