remember? no?

Emmanuel Adebayor has no idea why the Arsenal fans are hating him right now... He had no clue why he was taunted and insulted the entire length of the ManCity/Arsenal game. Ummm. Really? Maybe it is because Adebayor blamed Arsenal fans for his departure in the press?

I heard memory can be improved with vitamin E supplements...

trotsky cookies; literally;

Anarchists have officially lost their minds claiming to have made cookies out of Trotsky's ashes last week:

We broke the lock on [Trotsky's] mausoleum and we expropriate the content inside it: a silver large vase that bears the inscription of his name, wrapped in the red scarf that he carried around the neck, containing the ashes of the corpse inside. We replace with care the lock in the monument with a reproduction that was similar in the appearance and escaped into the night.

The vase along with its content then was taken far away to a place where the vase was discarded and the content (a combination of ash and bone) were baked in cookies. These cookies then were sent, along with a letter that explains our actions, to newspapers, to organizations of Trotskyists, and to the groups of anarchist around the world.

Unlikely to be true, but nonetheless... warped.

how do you say 'Martin Šktrel?'

I was watching Match of the Day the other night, and couldn't figure out who was that new Liverpool center defender that the commentator kept referring to as Skirtle.

Well it was Martin Škrtel, of course. He has been with Liverpool since early 2008. And I should know better because he came into EPL from Zenit St. Petersburg. But why couldn't I get that? Well, that's because the correct pronunciation of his name sounds nothing like Skirtle.

Hey, British commentators (not like you are reading this). Martin's last name is pronounced: Shkrtɛl. Yes, that first letter in his name, 'Š' is pronounced 'sh' as in 'sheep.' And there are no vowels in his name except for the 'e' which is second to last. It is hard to get all those consonants together, but I am sure you can give it a good ol' try. After all: your job is to talk, so you can put some effort into doing it correctly!

obama's death panel

i've mentioned this to my friends when sarah palin quit her job: i think sarah palin is interested in a talk-show career. i think that we will pretty soon hear about a contract with FoxNews or XM Sirius or something...

so in preparations for that (cuz she can't leave her name out of the limelight now), sarah palin is throwing some rhetoric out there... it is in line with the previously stated "obama is communist" stuff:

The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care.

Death Panels. Sweet.
