Thought #1

There is no worse feeling that hearing someone yell at you in a language you don't understand and wondering exactly what it was they said that made everyone else around you that speaks their language crack up. Trust me, working in a very diverse school and being very dependent on English has taught me this over and over again.

The refs for the World Cup don't want to have that feeling so in an effort to avoid this they have taken to learning English cuss words. Now this is smart, its good to know what people are calling you, but word to the wise; be careful who your source for these words is. Make sure it is someone you trust wholeheartedly. Otherwise you might face the embarrassment of giving a guy a yellow card for saying "Bunny Fart." Trust me, it's not a good feeling.

With the Chicago Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup finals Wednesday they will earn the right to have a little fun if they choose with the cup itself. This begs the question, what would you do with the cup? Here's a list a things past players have done.

Pretty sure I would eat Cookie Crisp out of it in the morning, try to get Starbucks to serve me using it as my cup, spend the afternoon making a You Tube video featuring the cup playing a robot who has crazy adventures named Harvey, and then have Dairy Queen fill it with Butterfinger Blizzard.

What would you do?
