    Just a clarification, the bets are:

    1. Andy will score against NAS

    2. Deportivo will beat NAS

    3. Andy will score more goals than Eli over the season

    4. Andy’s team will concede less than NAS over the season

    And, no, I am not interested in altering the bets due to your inability to kick the ball. That inability should have factored into your betting decisions – it certainly factored into mine!

    Contrary to your assertion, when we made the bets, I did not assume that you would be playing up front- I assumed that you would still be grappling with injury, having the body of a retired stuntman, held together loosely with duct tape and bottle caps.

    If you want to avoid losing those two bets, just don’t play, since those bets are contingent on both of us playing. Paying up for the other two bets, is probably unavoidable however.

    The much ballyhooed match between NAS (North American Scum) and Deportiva Wanka (UK) will take place this weekend. If you are interested in watching the veneer of credibility melt off of AM’s online smack talking, come out and see for yourself!

    The games location is in the north east (near sm shopping mall and the east music park). It is at HuaXi middle school – 华西中学 – sometimes known as no 13 middle school 十三中.

    Here is the full chinese address: 成都市八里小区双建路双建南巷1号.

    Here is a google maps link.

    In honor of the approaching Halloween, enjoy my favorite corporate zombie parody song:

    The lyrics of this tune – especially verse two and three – always crack me up.

    My vpn is not working at the moment, so I can’t open youtube. I think I know the video though.

    Is this the video about the ‘Amen Break?’ that video is fantastically educational.

    I triple double cosign that video. I love the calm dispassionate voice of the narrator. Very authoritative.

    Does anyone know of any dance music that mixes in Chinese instrumentation, like the ErHu, PiPa, or GuZheng?

    My girlfriend is looking for some stuff that mixes in Chinese instrumentation. I told her I would ask the internet… any suggestions?

    This new Freddie Gibbs mixtape may not be for everyone. But if you like gangsta rap, as I do, give this a try:

    Im sorry. My girlfriend is not being a very responsible netizen. I told her to respond. I said, ‘baby, people on the forum are waiting for you.’ She has been super busy, so she hasn’t gotten around to doing it.

    Actually I will go find her now. Ok. She says that she doesn’t want to commit to take a group, because she is not sure if she is going to have the free time to do it over weekend, and she doesn’t want to let people down. She also says that the place is closed this weekend for the holiday.

    She feels bad. I told her it is ok.

    She says that she will post some links to some other groupon spa deals, and you guys can check them out.

    She also says that if you go to the spa for the goupon deal, you should be wary about them trying to ‘recommend’ this and that, to sell you extra crap. Ok, here are the links:

    Linka,

    Those are wise words. Thank you so much for saying that.

    We should all be able to value our common humanity above any national category.
