Why "abbondanza"?

"I was at this great little restaurant called 'La Abbondanza'-"

"-*gasp* I love it there!"

"And of course 'La Abbondanza' is Italian for-"

(with accompanying hand gesture) "Affection."

"No, actually, It's 'abbundance'."

(with accompanying hand gesture) "Abbundance."

Whatever the case, watching the Italy/France game at the Caruso Club was a trip. Crazy Italians everywhere, tossing their babies in the air whenever Italy got an opportunity because y'know, the childrens are the future.

Take that you frog-leg eating, head-butting bastards! I always thought that guy looked kind of like a thug.

I quote a Get Fuzzy cartoon;

Bucky: I'm not crying! I never cry!

Rob: You cry when we're out of hot water. You cry when you have to cross the street. Dude, you cry more thana French soccer player.

Satchel: HA HA HA! That's funny because it's so impossible!

I would have felt a little better about the win if France's missed shot had actually been stopped by the keeper, rather than bouncing off the crossbar. I also would have liked Germany to make it to the final, but you can't have everything. Perhaps next time I will know more about the teams. Thank you Herr Simac! Gentleman & Scholar, that's you.

Does anyone else think the World Cup trophy looks like a "War of the Worlds" poster?
