My work schedule has been rearranged. The snacks and beer have been bought. Remember when I got my new tv, the slim version? Well, I realize one other advantage to having a flat screen with no big ass back end is being able to bring it outside. I can set it up on the balcony and not lose any of the beautiful weather while I watch SOCCER for the next month.
I still haven't decided which team to support (since we are not in it, quel surprise!), but I see that as an advantage: since I don't really care who wins, no matter what, I should be happy!
Now, I realize a good number of you don't give a rat's ass about this event...
so, I'll leave you with these amusing asses just so you don't think you've wasted your time reading this post.
I've got you covered
France. And Spain. It seems Spain is a contender this year. It's time they won.
ReplyDeleteAh... A month of soccer. A month of hot boys. Who I just recently realized are young enough that I could be their mother.
Is it creepy to find them really hot when you're old enough to be their mom?
PS: love the swan butt pics!
ReplyDeleteJazz: don't even go there - age is irrelevant when you are that hot!
ReplyDeleteand yes, Spain is due.
aren't they cute!
Preferably France or Spain but any team will do as long as it's not Italy, Germany or North Korea. Enjoy your flat screen, the snacks and the weather. Kickoff is in 40 minutes (9:30 D.S.T.)
ReplyDeleteMr Jazz: I'm ready!
ReplyDeleteI had hopes for Ivory Coast, too.
and then, there's England (but I will refrain from comment as I have too many English readers...)
Love the pigeon butts!! Now I feel so much better. As for the soccer match...seriously? That isn't football. And where the heck are the Saints and the Raiders?
ReplyDeleteHa!
Hugs
SueAnn
SueAnn: those are graceful swan butts!
ReplyDeletenever could get into football - NFL or CFL - far too much strange body gear.
world cup fever!!! :) the boys are so cute that i forget they're kicking the ball.
ReplyDeleteOne thing for sure your post today is original and different. Most interesting. That is a fire burning on my sky Watch photo.
ReplyDeleteOH, so beatiful they are!! Great photos in right time.
ReplyDeleteHey, what's wrong with Germany, Jazz Man? Sure, the play a boring game, but they're almost always in the finals. I'm going with Germany and if they totally blow this year, France. I can't bear to watch Spain -- they're too hot.
ReplyDeleteIt is never a waste of time coming here. love the photos....wishing I had a flat screen. lol. take care.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I don't give a rip about soccer (don't let my relatives read this!)- so I'm glad you have these excellent pics of the swans -talking about clicking the camera at the right moment -you've got it down, girl!
ReplyDeleteChar: one does get a good view of those rippling muscles...
ReplyDeleteLV: I do like to surprise people! Thanks for visiting.
Spiderama: they were also doing a nice duet in the water, but I was too far away for photos.
XUP: have you got your flags ready??
ReplyDeleteCinner: well, bear in mind it may be flat, but it is also small. I may have to find someone with a large screen HD...
Jeannette: I was hurrying to get closer as they were doing a lovely duet in the water and was surprised (and pleased) when they continued with their grooming.
You crack me up!! Love this pics! ~karen
ReplyDeleteKaren: you are welcome ;)
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for the viit to my pcture blog, the bridge have no footpath below but can be seen around the suburb
ReplyDeleteI am not a soccer fan, but I love the butts! Especially the matched set!
ReplyDeleteYOU are quite the photgrapher!!!
ReplyDeleteSmiles from Jackie
Those swans must have some itchy butts. You should come to Texas and watch all this soccer with My Sweetie. He'd appreciate a fellow fan.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Loved those swans! I have some photos of peacocks' butts, which are amazing too!
ReplyDeleteand the UK is completely and utterly soccer mad! You can't get away from it!
cuties!
ReplyDeleteLindz: nice to see you here.
ReplyDeleteDimple: I do try to please everybody.
Teacher's Pet: thanks! some things are just so much fun to photograph.
Geewits: just so long as he doesn't have one of hose vuvuzelas.
Gilly: I can only imagine. it will be a l-o-n-g month!
Dave: I wish I knew how they manage to mimic each other like that.
very funny!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about soccer but I love the excitement a huge event like this brings so many people. It sure beats depressing oil spills.
People deserve some happiness in their lives & this is just loads of fun.
I came across your blog in a casual sort of way, as you do, and smiled at your description of yourself. My niece is Canadian too - she's nice - and kind. I'm not Canadian so I'm neither - just an averagely dour Brit.
ReplyDeleteLove the swan photos - I see a lot of swans, but not usually on land.
Lily: yes, it might be the excitement around a world competition that draws me to the World Cup and the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteJabblog: well then, I hope you will return. these guys don't venture very far out of the water, which keeps them safely away from road traffic!
LOL! Swans' asses are much more picturesque than rats' asses any old day!
ReplyDeleteTee hee! Love your photos!
ReplyDeleteI don't know a lot about soccer but I imagine I'll know a lot more in the next 30 days. :)
I won't be watching the games but I'm sure I will still be hearing about them...Hope your team wins whichever one you decide on!
ReplyDeleteSusan: there's certainly more to their posterior... and they do have a cute wiggle.
ReplyDeleteEGWow: it will be hard to escape, since CBC is all over it...
Oliag: I usually wait until the finals so as to avoid too many disappointments when each team falls by the wayside.
hose vuvuzelas?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely don't give a rat's ass about the football!! But your pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteCJ xx
Geewits: it does sound a little rude, doesn't it? watch the games and listen to the noise from the stands. I think I prefer the chanting.
ReplyDeleteCJ: somehow, your disinterest doesn't surprise me! since I have no cute lambs to photograph, I aim for whatever part of the swan is facing me.
I'm American and know nothing about soccer (dare I admit) but I do know these are great pictures! I got a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,
jj
Joanna: and yet, YOU made England feel like losers by tieing the USA-ENG opening match.
ReplyDeleteAs one of those non-sports people, I thank you for the Swan photos.
ReplyDeleteSAW: you're welcome.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute.
ReplyDeleteYou have a whimsical and wonderful sense of humor, V. I enjoyed your delightful photos of the Swans.
