Ljungberg we love you!!

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the anticlimax against T&T, 89 minutes of despair, anxiety and "Not another Trinidad game" against Paraguay, by a head shot from Ljungberg the white and black little bastard finally, finally, found his was into the net! The three Swedes (or actually four. One of the girls working there was a Swede as well) at FootNik in Ebisu screamed in relief waking up half the neighborhood! Suddenly it was worth anything to be there, with the drunk leftover Englishmen from the England-T&T game, half a world away from the action, 5.45 in the morning after a whole night of missed sleep and an expensive taxi ride to Ebisu. Anything.

Guess what more than one person is thinking about in Sweden now. =) Me, I have to go to the office in one hour and a half...

Mario * 99

Once, many years ago, when playing Super Mario Bros on my famicom, through a bitter experience I learned that having 99 extra lives and getting one more (I think it was in world 6-2. There's a place where you can get a lot of those extra lives) leads to 0 lives and game over. After that I hated Mario and didn't play for.... almost one week.

Now, playing the New Super Mario Bros on Nintendo DS, they've finally fixed that bug (?) so when getting 99 extra lives you can't get any more, which actually made me quite disappointed. Not that it wasn't game over but that you couldn't get any more lives.


2 more hours until Sweden - Paraguay? Will it be a new Italy 1990 or maybe a USA 1994?

www.aftonbladet.se had a very informative article (Yes they always have, don't they?) that read:

More sex if Sweden wins Paraguay
One out of three Swedes wan'ts to have more sex if Sweden performs well in a championship... then ...When the referee blows the Sweden-Paraguay game off more than one TV-viewer is thinking about sex...

More than one? Well that wouldn't be very hard to guess. Out of 9 million Swedes, there ought to be one TV-viewer, if not having (Well in this case I hope it's more than one =) ), at least thinking about sex. I wonder how many Swedes were thinking about sex after the TT game. Maybe S-G Eriksson...

Tetra goes Yamanote!

I'm completely ignoring the fact that Hanshin lost to Rakuten (!!) yesterday (I knew we'd loose when Kubota entered the mound in the end of the game. He's lost the latest three games in the 9th or 10th inning on a Sayonara) and instead I'll give you some pictures from Yamanote line with some Tetra.







And then these guys that has nothing to do with anything, but they look happy anyway!

Kiyohara has a big behind

One of TP's customers is Yakult-san. Yakult-san is not only the producer of a very popular probiotic drink, but owner of Mr. Martinsson-sans favorite Japanese baseball team Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Of course TP has seasons seats at the Meiji Jingu stadium to take other customers (Wouldn't that be the competitors of Yakult's? =) ) to some ball games, and whenever the seats are not occupied by our sales guys and their customers, we are free to use the seats. So, last Friday and Sunday, I got the tickets for the Yakult-Orix games, 4 for each game. Seated around 15-20 meters behind the batter, one couldn't wish for better seats (well, maybe the seat 10 meters behind the batter).

If you've ever seen baseball on tv (especially american baseball) you'll pretty soon find out that the guys have HUGE... behinds. Maybe it's the camera, they say the camera adds 10 pounds, but if you look at the guy below (Kiyohara, a very popular old veteran from Seibu, Giants and now Orix) you see that it is actually true, even though he is Japanese.



So, anyone interested in seeing some baseball players with huge behinds, I'll gladly go again. Although, when Hanshin visits Meiji Jingu I think I'll get tickets for outfield together with the Hanshin supporters. I don´t want to ruin my good image of Okada's proud tigers by watching their behinds. =)

R6



Ain't she a beauty? born in 2005, 2088km, Yamaha YZF-R6 (600cc), 163kg, 130hp, roaring like a tiger and I am picking her up on Saturday.

I must say that it feels like cheating on Suzuki GSXR, which has been my favorite ride since the -97 SRAD I tried in Linkoping, but the new models didn't really meet my expectations. But I am pretty sure that my new friend will =)

Is it even worth a comment?

Trinidad & Tobago is considered the lousiest team in the world cup... enough said...
