Dancing and Logic

Well folks, it's Friday and we all know what that means.

Yes, another full day of work unless you took the day off which I didn't so that means work for little ol' me. Until 5pm that is when I get to Break Free and am no longer Under Pressure.

Bloggy high five to anyone who can guess what two songs I just referenced.

Moving along and to move this day along a little faster, make it less painful as the seconds tick away, I'd like to share some funny finds with you.

The first comes care of Evian (sorry you can't see this Matt - not my Matt, this Matt). It actually freaked me out just a little.



The next funny comes care of a friend of mine who sent it to me by email.

Legal and Logical
After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", a student goes and confronts his professor about it.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"

Professor: "Surely I must, otherwise I would not be a professor!"

Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an 'A' for the exam. "

Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"

Student: "What is legal, but not logical; logical, but not legal; and neither logical nor legal?"

After some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.

Afterwords, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.

The student immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."


Have a great weekend all!

Because We Can!

So these two crazies

IMG_3359

headed way over into southeast DC for some yummy grub in the Eastern Market area followed by a live soccer game over in RFK stadium. (Notice the color scheme we have going.)

We scarfed down some food and beer with a couple of my co-workers and soccer team buds pregame because let's face it, food and beer at any sports game is going to be overly priced (cup of Miller Lite cost $7).

After sufficiently stuffing our faces, we headed two more metro stops to the stadium and proceeded to find our seats through the flood of Honduran fans. Three of them were taking up three of our seats, but after thoroughly explaining to them that they were in the wrong section and coming close to bringing over security to remove them, they finally moved.

With the blow of the whistle the game started. For the entire first half as beer and God knows what else was being thrown around the crowd (personally I like to down beer, not waste it by showering everyone else with it), both teams attempted to score on each other.

Both failed. Half time came and went. The second half started. Once again the US soccer team drove the ball up the field attempting to score while the Honduran team tried to do the same on the other end.

It was around the 75th minute that the US soccer team scored the first goal and holy soccer balls did the US fans erupt in "WOOOAHHs" and "USA! USA! USA!"

See?


Before five minutes were able to tick away, the US team shocked us all and scored a second goal! I couldn't believe it. Wicked awesome to say the least.

At that point Matt and I decided to head on out to beat the crowds since wonderful metro closes around 12am on weeknights and a stampede of humans would be racing out within the next ten minutes.

Final score: USA 2, Honduras 0

So there you have it, the men's US soccer team didn't foul up as they did against Brazil in the FIFA cup final, but actually won - for the second time by the way - against Honduras.

Want more? Have a look.

Foozball

Tonight I'm going to see this soccer team


from this country



play against this soccer team


from this country.



I'm hoping the former beats the latter.

Will also attempt to take pictures with my tiny point and shoot.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go prepare the red, white and blue I'll be wearing.
