I don´t have a company or know what softball is but I just found out the World Cup is on what with the likkered-up goons in gang colours on streets. They´re all so damn militant, feet planted on ground, fists in air, tuneless tunes. One exception: the Brazilians won yesterday and were sambaing down the main drag with tambourines and djembes, shaking their asses and smiling. I know where my next plane ticket is going to be to.
Posted by owen on from barcelona 06/19 at 05:46 AMloved the article mickey
owen, sorry but that is nonsense. speak to a lot of football fans and they will tell you that whe nthe camera is on them the brazilians are all fun and frolics but as soon as it is off they are the biggest moaners and whingers there. if they haven’t won 5-0 they are calling for peoples heads.
now, the argentinians, thats a different matter.
Posted by michael on from exile 06/19 at 08:06 AMcheck out this
it is a seven second clip from the lithuanian parliament, i wonder if this guys career is over? it is fairly obvious what he was thinking about at the time…
Posted by michael on from exile 06/19 at 08:41 AMLoved the article, MZ, but luckily most of my colleagues are fairly switched on or at least open to new ideas. I know many corporate types would find such ideas scandalous, though. I had a great time with one last year when, after he proudly told me lots of boring detail about his insurance job, I went on to challenge lots of government statements. That is clearly a form of highly actionable treason to some people. He wasn’t happy. Next time I saw him, he just gave me a “oh, here comes that crank” smile as he had obviously readjusted back to his world, where governments make sense as they give beneficial fiscal breaks to the majors.
I know you’ll all be surprised to hear this, but he was really dull. No way!

Posted by owen on from barcelona 06/19 at 11:52 AMHello Expendables...from a balmy, sauna-like NYC. Even in this oppressive heat, the many Brazilians in my neighborhood partied hard in the streets yesterday (as they do every four years, it seems).
I watch a little World Cup but, to be honest, the only rooting I do is for the U.S to lose.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 06/19 at 01:59 PMThanks for this post, Mickey! I’m back at the computer after having been away for the last 2 days. And my first stop is - your blog.
And a warm ‘welcome’ from a cold but sunny Daylesford to Owen, Michael and Chris Wood - where are all the others?
And guess which team was defeated by Brazil: the Australian one of course.
Now I’ll actually read your article, Mickey ..
