Today's Word(s) of the Day

The Claw!

Saw one of those magic claw game things. One of the things you could pick up was a plush Jean-Luc Picard. I was highly amused.

Bonus Word(s) of the Day

Abby Wambach

An update on the Wambach situation:  She managed to score another in the first half.  And then was unable to score anymore.

And then I guess the coach was so disgusted with her performance that he pulled her from the game at 57:30.  That's almost 20 minutes of not scoring.  Simply unacceptable.

(Or it could be the fact that they wanted to let someone else score.  Or they didn't want to get her injured.  Or some other equally implausible reason.)

Today's Word(s) of the Day

Abby Wambach

Scores a hat trick in the first 30 minutes of the game to take the all-time lead in goals scored in International Women's Soccer.

So, can she keep up today's average of a goal every 10 minutes?

Will anyone else get around to scoring?  (Although it did seem that the U.S. team were going out of their way to set up Wambach so she could break the record.  Although, since she is such a prolific goal scorer, perhaps its just their standard operating procedure, rather than just tonight to break Mia Hamm's record)

Reassert jiggery

Thanks Rob... not sure what you were going for with that, but it must be a quality statement.

My phone doesn't even know the word jiggery...

Syfy Saturday Movie from today (A Thursday!)

Apparently they're doing their Syfy crappy movie thing on Thursdays rather than Saturdays now.

For whatever reason.

Change of venue don't seem to make 'em no better. though.

Today's Word(s) of the Day

Disfruta

Might be the Spainish word for "drink".  Was in the fine print of a Bud Light ad, and the second word was something to the effect of "Responsibilamente". Or something.  Perhaps I'm just being horribly stereotypical by Spainishifying the word.

But anyways, I'm guessing "Disfruta whatever" was the Spainish for "Drink Responsibly".

2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifier: Mexico vs. Costa Rica

The game is being broadcast on ESPN and Unimas.  Am I watching on the English speaking channel?  Clearly not.

Never watched anything on Unimas before now, as I really don't speak any Spanish.

But it does make the game quite exciting.  Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone score, so I don't know if the stereotypical Spanish announcement of a goal will happen.

Random Headline I Just Seen

Buffett lunch goes for $1 million

Wonder if it was a buffet.  I'm mainly wondering because I didn't actually read more than the headline.  Because that's not my style.

Or maybe Overlord. Or Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold, and Juno. Or Normandy. I'm sure you've figured out where this is going by now.

Fumiyuki Beppu

Apparently he's the first Japanese rider to finish the Tour de France.  Thanks Bobke for that wonderful piece of information.

And that wonderfully fun name to say.

Doctor Who: A Town Called Mercy

Guess that explains Ben Browder's ridiculous facial hair on that 20th anniversary of the Sci Fi channel special thing...

Today's Word(s) of the Day

Pileated Ass Weasel.

Apparently I decided someone on the road today (who just blitzed through a stop sign) was one of those. Whatever it might be
