CityHangover Miscellany: "Beat Down" Edition

I'm heading out of town this week for work, thus denying the masses an uptick in my posting schedule. Clearly, all work and no drinking makes CityHangover a dull blog. But fear not; I am already planning a massive bender for when I get back.

To help you occupy yourselves in my (continued) absence:

-The World Cup continues, and the U.S. team earns international respek with a hard fought draw against Italy. Yank McBride takes an elbow to the face, prompting me to call out the bloodied result as the "Rocky-esque" turning point in the match (You know, USA! USA!...). The Brazilians I'm watching the game with stare blankly back at me. (No Rocky movies in Brazil? A shame, really.) France also effs themselves against the South Koreans, increasing the likelihood that I beat the Knicks girl in our office pool. And really, you've usurped Straight Bangin' as Public Hater #1 if you don't love South Korean soccer football fans.

-Watching UK Big Brother makes you stupid. But you can't tell me there isn't something *a little* compelling about watching these people interact. I'm just sayin'. Check out this clip.

-Coffee makes excessive drinking ok. Sort of.

May you light up the comments section while I'm being used by The Man...
