Holy chit! David Beckham is coming to play in the U.S.!

Woot!!!

Okay, so, his form has been mostly so-so this year for Real Madrid and for England at the World Cup, but it's David Beckham. His Hottiness. The single most famous soccer player in the world. Available for view on a soccer pitch near you starting this August. *swoons

Weirdly, I now have "Hot Hot Hot" in my head.*g*

Y'know, I never told you this, but back in, oh, the late 80's/early 90's, I came dangerously close to being a soccer player groupie.

I'd taken Jesse and two or three of his Cub Scout buddies to see the new local soccer team, the Wichita Wings. They had a brand new player, this guy named David Byrne/Burns, something like that. His trademark was red socks rolled down around his ankles. And we watched them play an exhibition game against an Australian team and win and it was very cool and the boys wanted to go down and get the players to sign their tickets afterwards. So, we did and several of them came out in twos and threes, some with their girlfriends and/or wives and they were all very nice and said hello and signed the boys' tickets and stuff. And then we waited and waited and waited a little more for this David Byrnes/Burns/redsocksguy to come out and just as I was about to call it off and go home, out he came, all by himself. And he was fucking *gorgeous* and *all by himself* and he seemed kind of taken aback that we'd waited to see him (the boys and I were the only ones there) and he was very nice and signed their tickets and...this very weird feeling came over me and if I *hadn't* been there with three or four Cub Scouts, I might very well have flung myself at him in a somewhat unlady-like manner.

*sigh*

But I did get my ticket signed. *gg*
