I'm hoping the new president has a mandate to clear out corruption. What better way than to reset the 2022 bidding. If Blatter had followed normal procedure bidding wouldn't happen until 2016 anyway.

Agreed--I just think even a strong new prez will take time to get to the point of being able to effectively reset the process. Probably longer than is realistically available. On the plus side, that would free the new person to focus even more energy on internal work and rebuilding confidence in the world football community.

I know that feel, man. I turned 37 about a month ago.
Cheers for surviving another one.

Happy birthday!

Damn straight! And by the time you reach 50, you wonder what the hell happened!!
Here's a late birthday toast for ya! Cheers!!

Happy Belated Birthday and thank you for the present Keenelf.

Whoops! Somehow in the last day or two we passed 12,000 total posts without me realizing! I had even been trying to keep an eye on it!

Here's a lore tidbit to chew on to celebrate!

Though Fangir Firedeep's father was the last member of the family to hold the reins of power, Fangir's great-grandfather was the last of his line to bear the family's royal trappings and relics. Those were sealed in the chamber protected by the Thrice-Locked Door at the time of Fangir's great-grandfather's death and have not been seen since.

Congrats, one and all!

I'll be out of town and unplugged this Friday through Sunday > heading to Charlotte to get my comic book geek on!

No problem, Hedgeknight--this is totally the place Enjoy your trip and safe travels!

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there.

Thanks! Happy Fathers Day, dads!

Happy Father's Day, gentlemen! Hope your day has been fun but not too busy.

Happy Canada Day, hosers.

(wait...am I the only Canuck here?)

There is a Canada Day? We call that the day before, the day before, the day before the 4th of July. Everybody still takes the day off, though.

But in all seriousness, Happy Canada Day, Zorroroaster!

Happy Canada, eh!

I'm 1/4 Canadian, so I celebrate it in spirit. Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day! BC is one of my favorite places on earth...

Literally, by drinking a case of beer.

(And by that, I mean real beer.)
