Soccer, NASCAR, F1 Fan Blog seasoned with Japanese Anime and served with Music and Beer.
2015 in Review, pretty much…. If you expect a look back here, a year in review and all that dross, then your expectations are pretty much wrong. Go cry into a glass of cheap champagne on your own time. Also, if you expect any New Year’s Resolutions and similar false bravado here, well…I guess…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!!! It means exactly what you think it means. But this time, it also means so much more. Meanwhile, for me it means finding some trailer court in the general vicinity of the Talladega Superspeedway which is ideally located across the railroad tracks from a women’s…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means….!!! Actually, this time, you don’t know what that means. Let me explain. The word moe (pronounced mo-é) is a Japanese word that means, well….it means a lot of different things rolled into one. Elements of cuteness, vulnerability, embarrasment, adorableness, sweetness, all rolled into one. For example,…
This, again…. Where do I start. First there’s Eddie Gossage, the aforementioned President of the Texas Motor Speedway, barking out of his ass about Formula 1. Then, there’s Tony Stewart’s partner in Insanity, Gene Haas, who’s fixin’ to club his way ((pun somewhat, but not really, intended)) into Formula 1 with a brave new…
Stoke City 1 Arsenal 0 I took accordion lessons when I was young, and to this day, I wish I had stuck with it. Especially now, as I look back on it, as a lot of the music I love involve accordions in some way shape or form ((or would, if I…
USA 4 Cuba 1 If I ever begin a post where the first sentence either mentions, or references, or quotes either of John Stuart Mill or Matthew Arnold, then it’s time for you to run for the hills, the mountains, the rivers, the valleys, the great and terrible sea, as fast…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And You know what THAT means…..!!!! It means, as you should know by now, that we are going to engage in a gentlemanly discourse about soccer, Formula 1, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the National Basketball Association, the World Rally Championship, and the applicability of certain Japanese Magical Girl Anime show mascots…
All Of Europe Awaits The Results Of Tonight’s Federated Auto Parts 400 from Richmond International Raceway While I’m quite sure the lads from England were awestruck when their bus/limousine carried them through The Gates of Chisnau enroute to their 5-0 trompage of Moldova yesterday (as this is written), the real thought at the back…
Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain, Here earth and water seem to strive again. Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused. As I’ve alluded to in a few previous posts, albeit in passing, the F1 season so far has not been at all as one might have…
Escape From Norwich City Norwich City 1 Chelsea 1 Chelsea left the hippy bus behind yesterday (as I began typing this)….but if you go looking for it in the parking lot hard by Carrow Road, you will find that it has vanished as surely as Chelsea’s hopes of claiming the Premier League title have vanished.…
Barnsley 3 Ipswich Town 5 Mind you, as a Norwich City fan, there is most likely NO FACKIN’ CHANCE IN HELL that I would root for the Tractor Boys in a match, unless they were playing Manchester United, of course. Also, there is no one, in their right mind, in Blanchardville, Wisconsin ((although, not…
England 1 Mexico 1 On Monday, England played Mexico in the opening round of the 2011 Women’s World Cup in Wolfsburg, Germany. Now under most circumstances, I have nothing against Mexico….in fact I’m all for Mexico and even if they lose, I want them to at acquit themselves well. I don’t want them to beat…
I made a list of things to write about this week from the sporting world that taken as a whole have little to do with one another. But as usual, this does not stop me from trying to find some common thread. There simply HAS to a fearful symmetry somewhere in the interstices between Joey…
Germany 4 England 1 They played like dopey wankers. They were old, they were fat, they were slow, they were a bit too full of themselves as individual stars to play together as a team, and in the end, they were sent packing back to England by a younger, quicker German squad. Sure, Lampard got…
