That is a really disturbing sign. You should stay away from all things british for a while until you get your groove back. It is starting to infect your subliminal thought processes.

I am so tempted to change mine to this just so you’d get to score one more point for it. I wonder if Doug Flutie was singing this to himself a few weeks ago…

Aren’t you supposed to be American? I only assume so because of the L.A. after your name. I read this and thought, “cool, a Brit actually answered with a good answer.” If I’m incorrect, please feel free to correct me. If not, then why, as an American, are you answering a football question with a British answer?

Enquiring minds want to know.

It’s not a British answer. I’m not a huge sports fan (unless it’s the Winter Olympics) and I watch about as much English football as I do American football. This year i’ve watched more English, so Man U was the first thing that came to mind.

To confuse matters more, I’m no longer in L.A.
