Haka

Imagine if the Columbus Bluejackets made it to the Stanley Cup finals. Or the Arizona Cardinals made it to the Superbowl. Or the Colorado Rockies made it to the World Series. Or that Paris Hilton won Miss America. A travasty by all definitions possible. The equivalent is happening right now, as Im watching the Rugby World Cup on television (yet another stoic realization that I live in Europe), England has made the finals against the Springboks of South Africa. Its not a stretch to say 90% of world wide rugby followers are sickened by this because the English really do suck. Theyve played shite for a good 4 years now, and all they do is string together 2 impressive wins (against first the imposing Aussie squad, and then against the superb home-siders France who beat the All Blacks btw) and suddenly they are in the finals. No one is giving them credit though, and Im the same way. They truly are the Atlanta Hawks of Rugby, that just got lucky for a few games.

Everyone expected the All Blacks to dominate this World Cup anyways. My kiwi friends were broken and shattered when they lost to France, because up until then, it had been a foregone conclusion. Its why I bought little toddler Tyson a wee All Blacks jacket for Xmas, so he could walk around lookin cool. I just need to teach him some Haka moves, which will convert him in to the coolest kid alive. A baby doing the Haka? wicked... Anne Marie and Ron, In my absence please do this for me.

Hmmm... I realized this is not intersting at all to about everyone in Canada right now. But Im watching Rugby, so I cant think of anything else. Ill post it anyways... quantity not quality.
