Frylock and I are in agreement: it is funny how I smashed up my foot at the town pool yesterday. It was the waterslide, a great little attraction for the kiddies -- if only they were tall enough to use it. Well, if they couldn't use it, I would. And so I did.

Of course, I'm too old and too fat for such exploits but that wasn't going to stop me. I went down the chute a few times, splashed into the water and bounced not-lightly off the bottom of the pool. The last trip down I picked up some serious speed. And when I hit the botton my foot got wedged under my fat ass: instep scraped the floor and the fatness of my ass sprained the whole foot. I've been hobbling around for the last 24 hours. No penalty-kicks for me today. Just as well -- soccer is a silly game.
