we want to save breasts"
I want to save the planet also,
but I ain't sumo wrestling coach
McDowell in a vat of Jack
Daniels as a fundraiser. The
goal is to raise $100,000, and I
say why not dress like seals and
swim among the great whites,
armed with a bang stick and
have celebrity judges decide
winners and losers. I mean
when does justifying stupid be-
haviors, in the name of good
causes, just become offensive?
CHARACTER ASSASINATION -
The Phillies looked good com-
ing into the current home stand
and promptly bombed the Bean
Towners and all was good but
you just knew the real test was
rolling toward Citizens Bank Sta-
dium like a tsunami on a sunny
day. Where did all that water
go? What's that noise? The
Phils not only dropped five in a
row to the Red Sox and Angels,
both managed by PhiUy cast-
aways, but it was the look on
their faces like they expected it
• and who do they turn to for psy-
chological sports confidence -
Charlie Manuel?
That's why I always watch the
Phillies on TV B with the sound
turned down and watch soccer
in high definition. How about a
Turk scoring late in extra time
then giving the quiet sign to
60000 deflated Croatians?
Trust me, you don't want to be
in the stadium if that fight
breaks out. And the Russian
striker gave the same "not a
whisper" to the Dutch fans. Eu-
ro 2008 is so cool and way better
than baseball and really, does the
United States ever exhibit that
kind of crazy, out-of-control na-
tionalism? That's why soccer or
futbol is the only sport on "the
world stage." It is a beautiful
game! when played by great ath-
letes.
SNIPPETS - Did you ever eat
dumb diet stuff for days then fi-
naUy bite into a plump meatball
and rediscover the taste buds of
the tongue? I did and purred so
loudly the Siamese rubbed up
against my leg. Egg Beaters and
no salt or butter? Somebody
slap me! Go on now, gift
