I'd rather watch golf in Everything

One of the women I work with showed me a picture of her daughter all dressed up to go to her Senior prom. She was so proud of her, she said doesn't she look beautiful? To which I replied, "Ya, I'd hit that!" She walked away horrified. Have you ever said anything that as it's coming out you begin to realize how disturbing it is but you just can't stop in time? Ya, neither have I.

Ok on to the World Cup. I am not the least bit interested. I don't really know why I dislike soccer so much (and no, I will not call it futbol). I played it as a kid, up until 5th or 6th grade. I understand the game, respect it even, you have to be in pretty good shape to run all over that field. I think my apathy towards it comes from the fact that I am American. For some reason the sport just has not caught on here, kinda like the metric system. From a marketing perspective it's kind of baffling, I mean it really should have. Look at any athletic field on any weekend morning/afternoon and there will be lots of kids on organized, coached teams playing soccer. You even had that woman on the US team rip her shirt off a few years ago after scoring a goal. It should be bigger here, but maybe it's just a little too European, kind of like men in Speedos.

So that leads me to another question, mainly to the women in the audience. Have you ever looked at a guy in a Speedo and thought anything even remotely positive?
