Shaolin Soccer

4/15/2009

Hey readers,

So, there are a couple things that are really popular in the rest of the world, but I have never really understood: 

1.  Soccer. 
2.  Chicks with facial hair. 

But, this video here has really gone a long way towards bridging the culture gap. 

That clip was from a movie called Shaolin Soccer which along with the value menu at El Pollo Loco, dogs in neckerchiefs, and the scone rack at Trader Joes, ranks right up there on the list of things that make me ridiculously happy.

So, if you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch some kung fu priests play soccer for some reason or another (author's note: Shaolin Soccer isn't big on plot.  No, it's big on joy). 

Still  need some convincing?  Well, would a ten minute highlight reel of the movie set to Vannila Ice songs change your mind? 


I love the internet.

So...now you're into chicks with facial hair? Won't that create a lot of conflict when you are both wanting to trim at the same time?? I don't think you've thought this through, Ben!!

If humans could do this kind of stuff in real life, I might actually watch soccer.

The negotiators appeared to be having a hard time defining what kind of cuts would occur at the end of the year 2012 if Congress failed to act on the committee’s recommendations.
