*wipes brow*

So glad it's not just me. Mind you, I'll bet you had more dignity than to scoot off to YouTube and look for the song...

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no I didn't

By which I mean no, I didn't go on youtube. I just couldn't resist the gag.

Tillane · 13th July 2010, 11:33 PM

It could have been worse, Ursa. I could have gone to Amazon or iTunes and bought it.

Which I absolutely didn't. Honest.

With the World Cup over for another four years, it seems to me that this thread should really be put away until then - if it drifts any further away from post-WC discussion, it will be...

Ladies and gentlemen, it's now time to start saving up for Brazil '14.

THIS TIME, WE'LL BE THERE !!!!!!

Culhwch · 14th July 2010, 02:22 AM

I guess the time difference with Brazil will be similar to that of the US, so I supoose the games will be on here starting about 4.00am-ish and running through the morning. Much better than South Africa. Still not as good as when it was in Japan-Korea, or how it will be in 2022 when it's here in Australia....

Congrats to the winners.

Was away for a week or so without net access (and had no chance of winning anyway), so I didn't continue. See you all in 2014.

BBC News - Paul the World Cup octopus dies in his tank in Germany

Very sad news. No reason it can't be posthumous, presumably?

The Ace · 26th October 2010, 09:31 PM

Wonder what he tastes like.

Wybren · 27th October 2010, 12:47 AM

He was an old octopus Ace, so probably tough and stringy. Perhaps he has psychic spawn somewhere in an aquarium.

Allegra · 27th October 2010, 10:05 AM

Hm... even though Paul is not young, still a suspicious death, like with all the celebrities. I'm surprised nobody is calling for a thorough autopsy.

Ursa major · 27th October 2010, 04:59 PM

I (almost) feel sorry for all the suckers....
