France shamed the Limeys today to advance and take on Morocco. The hate festival, known
as the World Cup, marches on.

Bob,

Remy and Orsillo really could liven up a full game.

Morocco became independent from France in 1956. it will further be reinforced by the results of that match

why would any small country want to split from a bigger one as they get all kinds of benefits.

Zeno used "France" rather than some slathering insult for the French. We expect more of him.

for the same reasons the big countries wanted to 'colonize' them: geopolitical advantage and natural assets.

it's not like they were in it together from the beginning and small country split

big country bully comes to the school yard every day with the intent of taking small country's lunch

small country gives in at first, but eventually doesn't want to pay the tithe and resists with success. can you imagine what might happen next?

i really want to offer you a warm drink in front of the fire and continue the story, but i'm afraid the tea is out steeping in the harbor

no regrets about representing the kettle of water analogy in that way, as taxing as it may sound

is it intolerable that someone could act that way?

lol

small countries need the protection of big ones they have to get it one way or another or at some point get eaten up by another country or get a dictator who robs them blind. very few ever run smooth for a long time.

some countries are so blinded by religion that they can never co exist with anyone near them.

What’s this: the French are still in the World Cup scramble?!

Small countries need to start wars. A lesson from history.

defending and 2-times champs, whereas the Limeys only have 1

The French are almost as unreasonable as the overlord’s of 2+2. They are the masters of the universe and everyone must bow down and worship their overarching wisdom!

You forgot the croissants again zeno.

My apologies! A Fresh Crispy croissant, warm from the oven, with a cup of cappuccino is heavenly.

My last day of teaching for the semester was yesterday. Will resume on Jan. 23rd. So 45 more days of work left until summer break.

As one friend asked, "Why would you ever retire?"

This means January in the 2023rd year, right?

Yes it does.

Ads for Spanx for Men keep appearing on my phone. Do these companies look at age to push ads?

I'm nearly 6 feet tall, about 155 pounds, with a 32" waist. I'm not in need of Spanx quite yet. Or at least I don't think so.

maybe setup phone so you dont get ads on it.

I have never gotten an ad on my phone. Then again I only use the phone as a phone and sometimes google maps or to lookup sports scores when I am out.

You can send the Spanx to me…seems easier than eating better and exercising

I don't know how to do this.
