As in "C'mon guys, F the 'best'. Who cares? Let's blow the fireworks regardless. Silver is an awesome metal and the FIFA is corrupt!" But if I say this, I blaspheme my allegiance/theology, and get the grim jock stares, lol! > > Viel Glück! > Thanks and likewise! Hope to have reason to celebrate... but truth can be really bitchy with these things, lol! The biggest enemy to German team and years of prep work and scouting: *But Mousie, thou art no thy lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, For promis'd joy!* Robert Burns And despite that, the obligatory final battle cry á la Tennyson and 007, of those forced into battle no longer in their youngest years: *Though much is taken, much abides; and though* *We are not now that strength which in old days* *Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;* *One equal temper of heroic hearts,* *Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will* *To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.* Take it easy! Apocalypse is near for the soccer religion, at least for another 4 years ;-) PGC > > Telmo. > > >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Everything List" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected]. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
