ITALY WIN THE WORLD CUP 2006!!

I am currently on a mission to post in as many topics as possible (as an incarnation of boredom on this lovely Friday). However, I don't have anything humorous to add to this thread. So I will just thank you for providing this excellent resource. ^_^ I didn't get to see much of the world cup, and truly don't appreciate football the way I should (especially for someone minoring in European language studies). So, thank-you. Now I have all the names, games, and score stats at my fingertips. (Where's a time machine when you need one?....wait, bad katie. Crossing into silliness again.)

Wait...there's a line?

I've been told that there is----brainwashed into believing it even. Is there no line? Am I free?

Once again it's come to that time when I feel that I should start rappin'
I didn't even watch the World Cup so it's cool to know what happened
And to SilverShattering of course you are free
For this is the one and only YJUTT
Whether it be attacking ferrets, Sith Mooses, or Hyper Dragons galore
We'll accept it all and maybe even corrupt you a little more

:P That's right, fear my rhyming skills!

Very impressive. ^_^ I have nothing smart or funny to add. Though I do have a question: With each successive round of carnivores becoming more colonialist, is it really any wonder that the shadow blinds ended up pockmarked with blue styrofoam in regards to the southern border of turkey?

Ah, very insightful question...and the answer to said question is...462.

:: in awe:: Oooooooohhh :: bows to the great master of knowledge::

Oh great...Thanks for that, guess who now has to deal with his even bigger ego?! Ignore her mark!! for the sake of my sanity ignore her!!

See? See? Everyone thinks I always say bow before me to further boost my ego, but no. My greatness will have you bowing before me anyway so I'm just saving you all the time. I'm being considerate really. :P

Yeah...well i'm cuter.

True dat, true dat. B)

lol, When did you turn into such a G?

It's probably the result of some kind of chemical spill.

Actually he's always been like that i think.
