My hair comes to a spike on top because that's the cool thing to do. If it wasn't the cool thing to do, then I wouldn't do it. But it is, so there you go.

I thought Chelsea stopped picking up Portuguese players once Mourinho left.

Its a bad haircut, that's what it is. Is this picture from three years ago or something? I thought the Euros were supposed to be on the cutting edge of hairstyles and fashion. High school kids in Iowa wear their hair like this.

Chelsea should just go get Sergio Aguero and call it a day. They'd be deadly and scary in that diamond formation with El Kun sitting just behind Drogba and Anelka. Frank Lampost and Joey Cole would find all kinds of space from the midfield.

They already are. After getting the 3 points this weekend...the Premiership is essentially their's. LOL. I kid, I kid...kind of.

If they got Aguero...they'd be even more formitable. Not sure what kind of ego though Sergio would bring into the locker room.

I think Chelsea is just going to crush Manchester this weekend, but it won't happen until late in the game. Drogba is like a man possessed right now and I don't know if anyone can stop him at any level of competition.

I'll take a draw at the Bridge right now. From a betting perspective, I'm staying away. Maybe play the over, but that's it.

I am a big fan of dallops in my spagetti and wine sauce with garlic and butter.

I call that hairdo the "precipice"

As for high school kids in Iowa, Vegas, when is the last time you smelled like you had been to Iowa? I ask because the Crew Cut and the semi-mullet with a mustache are still pretty popular, even amongst hearing-impaired bartenders under the age of 35.

I want to let everyone know I finally graduated to FIFA 2008.

Please, please hold the applause and feelings of sympathy and sorrow for my poor un-updated dog's arse.

I know I know. Its just that I find it hard to switch to the latest game when I like the old one. And I don't always like the updates.

I'm well aware that there is a 2010, and that is what makes my situation so sad and sorry. And yes, I of course I have seen the commericials--what do you take me for, some sort of hobbit?! So, go ahead and "LOL" at me if it makes you feel good to make laughter at a poor, helpless little mutt who can't bring himself to buy 2010 until 2012. Laugh it up smart guy!

;)

I'm just surprised you haven't caved in yet considering how awesome the game is.

The free-flowing running makes the game insanely better than previous versions.

Well, not lately. Perhaps a better comparison would be Utah, since I actually lived there for a time. I can say that they were starting to wear flannel and Doc Martens by about 2002, to give you an idea. They should be onto skinny jeans by the time Obama leaves office.
