Actually, listening to a game on the radio is fun. But you need to be at the beach or, like me, up on the roof with a 6-pack on ice and a book.

I admire it. I'm a sucker for tradition, plus the multitasking required to keep one ear on the radio is a skill I don't have. In HS I worked part time for a graphic designer, and as she was talking to me she started jumping up and down saying "Yes! Yes!" Someone had homered, and I was so tuned out I had forgotten the game was even on as we were talking.

Tits?

Tiger

Tigers are handsome and powerful people with an innate self-confidence and elegance. There's a sense of immediacy and an aura of electricity that surrounds it, and when it walks into a room, something always seems about to happen. Once a tiger has found its groove, it focuses on its goal with a brightly burning intensity. Male tigers, when out of their element, are sometimes mistaken for beefcake, but when you see them in their offices wearing their power suits you realize that you're dealing with incisive, authoritarian individuals.

In social situations, the tiger is an excellent host and there is no such thing as a casual party in its home. Guests can always expect a memorable occasion with an extravagance of food and drink, and yet, there is a distinct coldness to its den. Having sacrificed comfort for style, the tiger outfits its house with austere and modern furniture, and even the comfortably worn easy chairs are replaced every few years.

Unlike the family oriented lion, tigers are solitary creatures who hate to lie around doing nothing. In this regard they have more in common with wildcats and leopards, who are always on the move. Because of this antisocial nature it can be difficult to discern a tiger's true motives, and they are considered unpredictable and enigmatic. They have a strong aversion to routine in their daily life, and their spontaneity and energy infect others who are graced with their presence.

Tigers dislike small talk in the workplace and expect professionalism from coworkers, demanding the highest standards in their business dealings. With their killer instincts tigers could be excellent trial lawyers and have no hesitation in using aggression as an advantage. Acutely aware of their ability to intimidate, their single-mindedness enhances the tiger's reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

Because of their preference for solitude, however, tigers are not natural leaders. While perfectly capable of assuming the role of a CEO, they prefer the challenges inherent in self-employment. Tiger businesses are invariably successful and cover a wide range of industries, from engineering to retailing.

I'm a Wild Dog

The rugged wolf is athletic, good-looking and brimming with self-confidence. A close relative of the domestic dog, it is stronger and more aggressive, managing to generate notoriety wherever it marks its territory. The wolf's dark reputation is mainly due to jealousy of its consistent success in work and romance. A wolf in full stride is quite impressive. Firing orders at subordinates while on the phone to customers, no one can get the job done quite as efficiently as the wolf.

With an innate understanding of the value of teamwork, it's always ready to take its place in the chain of command either as leader or as simply a member of the pack. When a wolf decides to innovate, it makes sure that it has the backing of a capable team. The wolf is clear-headed and strong-minded, always willing to compromise in the interests of getting a job done.

Wolves are facially expressive and readily communicate their emotional states with body language. They work hard at developing their social relationships, although unlike their cousin the dog they are quick to anger when they sense threats to the social order. When confrontations occurs, they sometimes react suddenly and violently, barking displeasure at offending subordinates. Close companions know to avoid their biting tongue until they resume their normal gregarious behavior.

Wolves are intensely ambitious and never shy from hard work. Socially adept, they function well in leadership and management roles as well as in jobs requiring vision and strength of character. Being a natural motivator, their instinctive understanding of group dynamics serves them well in goal-oriented tasks.

As bosses, wolves demand absolute loyalty and they provide the same allegiance to their employees. Their ability to perform under pressure helps them attain the highest executive levels, and with strong communication instincts they maintain a constant stream of notes, letters, and email to coworkers. Their instinctive understanding of the chain of command makes wolves excellent soldiers or law enforcement officers.

Penguin or fox/otter.

Now you see it, now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty - everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing: the penguin only reveals the side that it wants to you to see. So whether you like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and enigmatic individual.

Penguins are birds condemned to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers penguins have no equal.

But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.

Penguins are deceptively intelligent and are particularly animated when intellectually challenged. They excel at word games and puzzles but are modest about their abilities and are generally underestimated by others.

With their misunderstood personality, penguins find writing an ideal tool for expressing their true feelings. They have a natural aptitude for languages and penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors, and journalists.

With a natural aptitude for languages, penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors and journalists. A strong sense of drama draws them to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird personalities they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of emotions.

However, a lack of confidence affects their work. Penguins tend to give up on tasks they were otherwise capable of and are often disappointed with their performance. Still, work never dominates their life and they always put their family first.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

Agreed. The call was BS and the officiating was terrible in general. That said, and I am obviously biased, the second half (the only half I watched) was the most exciting half of soccer I have watched this WC.

So, we were robbed of a win, but our fate is in our hands. Beat Algeria and we are in. If we cannot beat Algeria, than we do not deserve to advance anyway.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

way to set out and articulate a strong brave opinion! how do you feel about the gulf oil disaster?

here's a real topic-
Bob Marley's Trenchtown Rock starts with, "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain."

Dead Prez's Hip Hop goes, "one thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain."

I get that copying lyrics is a compliment, but only if your listeners know whose bit you copied, right? Marley is too old, and Trenchtown is pretty obscure for the average DP listener to know. Was there a nod to Marley in the liner notes?

was the Peter Tosh reference in African supposed to cover for all of the Original Wailers? what?

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

while this is true it has already been said that if we cannot beat Slovenia we do not deserve to move on. As we did not beat Slovenia I fear that our fate is sealed and that even of we were to tie Algeria, our former oppressors will somehow net 3 more goals in a tying effort to move forward.

Or perhaps we cheat fate, finish first, and face Germany, who may fall to second in their group.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

If we tie and Englands loses to Slovenia we are in. If we tie and England ties we are probably in, having scored two more goals than them to this point. At least I think I have that right.

I would prefer to win the group and play Australia next. But Ghana would be good too.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

so watching Brazil NK the NK guys seemed sooooo much slower than Brazil, like second half at least NK didn't beat Brazil to one ball.

is NK just slow, or do we* look like that against Brazil too?
*we have advanced before correct? how far have we gone? round of 8?

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

Lost in round of 8 in 2002 to Germany, 1-0.

An ols friens went swimming in the Gulf and spent more time in the shower washing off the oil than he did swimming.

Scored as a draw, so we're 2-0-2 v. England lifetime.

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

The sound of baseball on the radio outdoors is the very definition of summer. Drinking a beer, listening to the soothing murmur of numbers going by, speculating on the yard work you ought to be doing -- if this is not a quintessential American experience I don't know what is. Except maybe being disgusted with soccer generally and Slovenia and Mali in particular.

Re: Slovenians are jumping
 

Why there can be some argument as to whether we really won the draw against England, I think we clearly won the draw against Slovenia (even if we lost the win against Slovenia), since the three goals give us the leg up over the bloody imperialists. But if we come out of the round, I'll say it's certain that we won the draw against England, too. Thus, there's still a good chance we could come out of this 3-0, right, Hank?

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

True words. Without even using the word "hammock", this made me think of being in mine. All the image needs is a couple kids firing up the bbq and throwing on the corn and the tofu-kabobs.

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

Pick yourself up and dust off your knees, little boy. If I had told you weeks ago that, going into the final group game, things were looking pretty good that the U.S. would get the top seed in the group, you would have laughed. Oh how you would have laughed. But here we are.

Unless you fear Algeria.

You do not fear Algeria, do you?

I will assume not. Save your contempt for S-G E. S-G E, who takes the corner short; so anxious to pick up another paycheck for a hard day at the office, and with a point as well. So happy to get the draw. Nobody can criticize a draw. Yes, he could have tried to actually win with the final set piece of the game, but what if the ball bounces BACKWARDS off of Drogba's head and went so far and so high that the CIV keeper lost sight of it and it landed in his own net? Too risky. Be happy with the draw, take their lumps against Brazil, and now they are sitting pretty. Going into our final game and all they need to do is beat North Korea, hope Portugal loses, and in the process make up a nine goal differential. There are so many ways it could happen. A 5-0 win over North Korea combined with a 6-2 Brazil win over Portugal. A 2-1 win over North Korea combined with a 14-6 Brazil victory. S-G E is a bold tactician. We will see more of him and his scrappy Mexican, er, Cote d'Ivoireian side.

Well, Algeria has proven to be the best French team at this year's tournament....

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

Some serious Sven-bashing there, and I will not ask from what deep personal wellspring of resentment it flows. He is indeed a useless empty suit of a serially-failing manager who keeps getting jobs because everyone already knows his name, but he's certainly not alone in that. Plus, his puppet character was strangely sympathetic on that Setanta thing they were doing last year before they went out of business..

I do not fear Algeria. I fear the US national team, which has time and again shown itself capable of delivering crushing disappointment and disaster from circumstances exactly like these, in games against opponents so laughably inept (ha!) that playing them ought to be a mere formality. Algeria held Slovenia (ha! ha ha!) to half as many goals as they scored on us, and shut out England instead of, say, letting them score in the first 30 seconds or so. Never underestimate our ability to fuck things up.

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

i think there is something to the ability to visualize most plays just based upon the descriptive words, "it's a long fly ball to left, Jones will have to go, he makes the catch at the track." you can "see" that in a way that you cannot "see" a basketball or football play on the radio.

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

You're as inspiring as ever. Wallow in the past if you will. I look to the future.

As for Sven, I harbor no personal ill will. But he does seem like the type of coach who could blandly embrace a 6-4-0 formation and instruct players to start playing to the corner and try to run out the clock in the 75th minute of a 0-0 game. The hopes of the host continent rested largely on the Ivory Coast and a wickedly talented (albeit whiny and petulant) striker, and I believe they had a chance to steal a win from the talented Portuguese and their precious little prima donna. These hopes appear to not be dashed so much as washed out in a tepid wave of apathy. Africa weeps and Sven simply pours another cup of tea.

Shit defense will do that to you. In the 3 minutes of the USA-England game I saw there were about 4 balls the US d got totally beat on that went wide, whatever.

Once one goes in, however, the landslide will start.
