zizou wants cookie, gets card.

Zidane Wants Cookie, Gets Card.it’s over.

what a mistake from Zidane - who still won the best player award.

on similar thoughts: i continue to wonder about players who argue with the ref. i’ve never seen the tactic work.

i think refs should carry around chocolate chip cookies and offer them to complaining players. “yes, no, of course you didn’t do it. no, i’m sure it was him - would you like a cookie? you look like you could use a cookie. no, we’re out of milk… are you sure? they’re good cookies….” etc.

This is a picture of Zizou asking the ref for a cookie, see. But the ref doesn’t have a cookie. He has a card. Sorry Zizou.

make the game much more amiable…

spur of the moment michelle mentions that i need to get film footage of paris for Limonade Tous les Jours, a great little duet/play by Chuck Mee that we’re talking about for this season at New World and dad mentions that he has an old video camera that may or may not work so we get it out and play with it over footage of derek bontreger and doyle preheim at the damn in “The Town Where No One Got Off”. it worked.

so then we’re running to wal-mart because it’s the only place still open and buying miniDV tapes so i can do my thing when i realize i really really want an mp3 player for the trip and they have them fairly cheap and i could sell it on ebay later if i want to so here goes. and there went.

now i’m listening to it and it’s working fairly well. well enough for this trip.

france, here i come: OO AE DOO FROMAGE? DOE NAE MUA POO DE FROMAGE. EH LA VEH. (merci)
