Here are Hoosier Daddy Pictures from Scoot.net, and Jedi Chad’s report, he has a better perspective on the weekend, since Vina and I never left the Lazy River:

I think I’m coming down with something (not Footballitis), and I didn’t watch all that much footy over the weekend, but here’s what I saw:

Dee Dee Ramone was the most Ramone of The Ramones, he was the one they never picked at 53rd and 3rd. He was the one with the drug problems. He was the one that quit to put out the shittiest rap album of all time. He played the bass, the most Ramone of all instruments. He was the youngest looking Ramone in 1974 and the oldest looking Ramone in 2002. Dee Dee died last night of an apparent overdose. R.I.P.,D.D.

Denver scooterists organized a scooter ride to remember murdered friend Erickson Scott. Erickson’s allegedly mishandled case is still unsolved. Here’s a story about the ride from Westword, and a link to the heartbreaking original story.

. Another morning tripleheader, but i just couldn’t do it today, I’ve got to save up my energy for England v Argentina tomorrow. I did catch part of the France v Uruguay game, and the highlights of the other matches. And what did I see? I’m a bit delusional, but let me share it with you:

It’s 6:12am CDT, I’ve had five hours of sleep and there was this soccer game I wanna tell you about.
Continue reading “USA v Portugal Recap”

Alright, this is it, the United States’ first and most important game of the 2002 World Cup. Here’s my prediction: The eternal pessimist, I say we’ll hold a scoreless draw until halftime, Portugal will score shortly after the half, we’ll fight hard for a McBride or Beasley equalizer with five minutes left, then go into defesive mode. Then Agoos or Regis will lose the plot and kick someone in the box with a minute left, giving Portugal a penalty kick and us a red card and a 2-1 loss. But allow me to dream of a win (literally) for the next six hours. See you at 4am CDT. I hope this crap washes off my head.

Another proud day for Lambretta owners: the name continues to grace everything but scooters. Someone needs to tell them that Lambrettas were made in Italy, not the UK. And why are there a dozen photos of men in underwear, but only drawings of the women’s kit?

Thanks to coudal for the link today, I’ll help myself to this awe-inspiring link to ’80s biker magazine ads from Sharpeworld. Boobies, leather, weed, and all, those ’80s bikers sure had something going. This one’s my favorite.

OK, an apology to those of you that were in Media Blackout re: the England match. From now on I’ll put the commentary and scores off the front page, click “MORE” for the news. To those of you complainers that just want scooter news, find another site, some things (but not many) are just more important than scooters. Got it? Good. Now for today’s update, starring Group D:

For those of you whiny bastards that don’t care about the World Cup, Joel Kuester of Milwaukee sent some links to his Lego designs on brickshelf.com: a diagram showing how to build a Lego P200 and a scene featuring some Lego Mod scoots vs. some nuns. Nice work, Joel!
