World Cup Round of 16

Group rounds in South Africa are over. Heres how we fared on the Davidson bracket . . .
Annie and I tied for teams going through with 10/16 each. Not bad considering our knowledge of international football . . . which is admittedly much better than our knowledge of local football. I don't even know the names of any Dubai teams, but I sure know how to celebrate! Drive like a maniac and redefine the laws of physics in a cosmologically and philosophically impossible automobile collision. I placed 8/10 of my teams correctly in my round of 16, and Annie 5/10 of hers. We will have to reassess the finals and repost . . .

Aaron Winners:
Argentina, Ghana, Brazil, Germany, England, Netherlands, Chile, Spain, Japan, South Korea
Aaron Losers:
Slovenia, Italy, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Cote D'ivoire

Annie Winners:
Argentina, Ghana, Brazil, Germany, England, Netherlands, Chile, Spain, USA, Mexico
Annie Losers:
France, Nigeria, New Zealand, Italy, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire

Shame about New Zealand really . . . They have such lovely fish and chips there. But wait!! whats this?! At last minute, Kim Jung Il joins the North Korea team and scores 300 points in every game! Even the ones he wasnt in. Great Leader did it again!! North Korea wins the world cup for the 12th time in a row! (note: footage missing)

Anime A&A

I made Anime A&A. Look like us? I have a power level of nearly 10,000, and Annie can do Kamehameha times 7. I spared Annie the sailer outfit. My top 10 anime series so far in order of favoritism . . .

1. Samurai Champloo
2. Furi Kuri
3. Cowboy Bebop
4. Avatar Last Airbender (not proper anime, but great nonetheless)
5. Afro Samurai
6. Last Exile
7. Full Metal Alchemist
8. Ghost in the shell (Stand alone complex)
9. DragonBall Z (its horrible. really horrible. but an old guilty pleasure nonetheless.)
10. Voltron (loved by good, feared by evil)

Monkey Koi Fish

I was in Kansas last week, and Annie, my brother Avery, and I took a day trip to Omaha. Now, I knew there would be monkeys in Omaha as they make up about 43% of the population of the American midwest. . . . and I know that Koi fish stop in Nebraska as they fly South for the winter (wait. is that right?) . . . but I wasn't expecting monkey Koi fish combo! It might be the greatest phenomenon I've seen in the midwest since that time I got caught in a tornado and ended up surrounded by high pitched singing midgets. They had this whole routine. Its like they rehearsed before I got there. Also, I might have killed someone with my house. Thats right, my house. Thats how we roll when we're in Kansas. Dont mess with us. Here are some photos of the Omaha-ian awesomeness.
