Yeah that's what I'm hoping. The problem is I will be in North Dakota, where unless it involves drinking beer, fishing or pick-up trucks, they're not interested. Still though, I might get lucky.

I know its played here (at least some games). I remember a few years ago my brother had the last game taped because he couldnt watch it for some reason. Not sure if he didnt get the channel or what it was, but ill ask him and my parents to see if they know what channel it was.

Also, as far as the cable thing, could always sign up for one of those sports packages...though not sure if they include soccer (but probably do since they have a ton of channels)

Thanks DS - Let me know what your brother tells you.

I will be staying with friends and family and moving around a lot so I don't think geting a cable sports package is an option unless I'm in one place the whole time and you can get it just for a month.

If you were staying at a fixed location, you could probably subscribe to sports channels on cable, and when the World Cup is over, cancel it.

Or... book a flight to Brazil. You can watch the games at my place. I'll do some pizza on my pizza stone!

Football and stone-baked pizza. I like your style.

Boy I sure hope I don't end up missing the world cup. That would be a real shitty start to my move.

I've come to realize that British and Brazillians are very much alike over their passions and way of life. We enjoy the same kind of rock music, same kind of drinks, same sports, have the same sense of humor the whole world dosen't seem to understand...

Here's a discussion topic; anybody here watch shows that really aren't intended for a target audience that includes you, but you love them anyway?

Like me and Teen Titans? (Actually, I know a lot of people over 17 who are fans...)

I can't think of an specific example for myself, as I don't really watch TV shows regularly, but I wouldn't mind to watch a kids cartoon. Sometimes I do, even though I don't really apreciate it, I enjoy cartoons a bit more adult-themed.

I know that in New York, Brazil-themes places will show the games. With some luck you might find an italian or portuguese or brazillian place that shows the games.


Brazil will take the cup again. it is written. although secretly i'm hoping the USA will upset.

huge soccer fan here, but that is possibly because i'm from puerto rico. things are a bit different there. anyway, the last world cup they showed the games on any spanish channel and espn. I usually watched it on univision, but i'm biased.

Just come on over to my place. I'm only a 24 hour drive from LA.

Thanks for the invite Ricardo, but I'm gonna be in ND for the tournament.

But I will try and catch it on the stations you mentioned.

I wouldn't mind a cartoon with mature themes, but most "adult" American cartoons are really immature and silly: Family Guy, Oblongs, AquaTeens, Sealab, and worst of all, Drawn Together. If this is what "adults" act like and enjoy, then I'm not sure I want to be one. Ugh.

Which is why I loved Batman: TAS and, well, pretty much everything in the Bruce Timm DCAU canon. It manages to be 'suitable for kids' without being stupid or insulting to adults. And you'd be surprised at some of the double entendres and semi-dirty jokes... (well, at least I was surprised...)

Hawkgirl: What?
Hawkman: Nothing. I just miss the dress you were wearing yesterday.
Hawkgirl: *wry smile* You didn't miss it last night.

And now for something completely different:

Now, this guy is a genius. He started a website in which he offered a red paper clip to trade with anything else, and his ultimate goal was to keep trading things with people until he got a house.

Sounds ridiculous? Matter of fact, he did get it. And it took only 10 trades.

Anyway, I'm trading my red pen here, and my goal is an apartment in Manhattan, so...

I have read about this too. Genius.

Ric, I will trade you your red pen for a calculator stolen from my office. Deal?

Deal! When you move to the US, I'll go there and do the trade.

Cool. It's a solar powered Calculater, so you are getting one hell of a deal there my friend, and I'm sure you'll have no trouble trading that badboy.

This is the audio of a censored Saturday Night Live X-Mas sketch featuring Paul Simon and Steve Martin, recorded during a dress rehersal. It's hilarious, and you'll soon notice why it was cut from the show.
