[THE FIRST OF MANY WORLD CUP POSTS, I'M SURE]
[over yonder in the international part of camp you may stumble upon a flighty nation running to and fro with all sorts of colorful, exciting things that he is using to decorate the crap out of the UN cabin. there are Italian and German! flags and streamers and more flags and he may be alternating between singing a freaking awesome song under his breath and muttering about being stuck in a cornfield and not being in South Africa and the games start this weekend and he is so excited and --]
And America and England are going to play first and I hope they don't get angry at each other even though America probably won't, because he forgets about the World Cup a lot and that's so silly, but if he wins then England will get drunk and yell a lot and they might fight! And I don't want to get in the middle of that so maybe I'll watch the game from somewhere else. And aaah, my boys, it's good that they're bringing their own pasta, you know, because what would happen if they were not properly fed -- that would be the most tragic thing! But I'm not there, and what if they didn't bring the best, and who's going to cook it just right so that they play with their best spirit and --!
((taking a break guys, sorry. will be back posthaste. frolic amongst yourselves, etc.))
