If whoever wins manages to not lose in straight sets the next round - that will be a triumph too.

Match point!

HOLY SHIT IT'S OVER.

I now have car insurance.

There are tons of clips on youtube of any scene in a movie or cartoon with one character "eating" another, so like cartoons where a being goes live into another's mouth, unharmed and comes back out - lots of that stuff. They are all not disturbing at all - and then you realize someone in the world gets off to just about everything. ANd the if you are me you have to go watch over your sleeping child and double check his internet restrictions and say a little prayer that he stays young and naive about some things for a good long while longer.

Odd headline o' the day:

Woman in sumo wrestler suit assaulted her ex-girlfriend in gay pub after she waved at man dressed as a Snickers bar

HOLY SHIT IT'S OVER.

Which zombie won?

Woman in sumo wrestler suit assaulted her ex-girlfriend in gay pub after she waved at man dressed as a Snickers bar

There are times I think my lifestyle is weird, and then I read stuff like that.

I would NEVER wave at a man dressed as a Snickers bar. That is sick and wrong. J'accuse!

Italy is out. The defending champs are gone.

I would NEVER wave at a man dressed as a Snickers bar. That is sick and wrong. J'accuse!

What kind of candy bar would he have to dress as?

Ooh, the actual article is online: Woman in sumo wrestler suit assaulted her ex-girlfriend in gay pub

She had been in an on-off relationship with Talbot for three years which had ended in March 2007. During the evening Talbot, who was wearing an inflatable sumo suit, bumped into her. When she turned around, the accused said to her: "Keep smiling, c**t."

Later, a man dressed as a Snickers bar began waving at her and when she went to wave back, Talbot pushed her arm from behind. When she asked what the problem was, Talbot said: "Your arm's in my way."

When she again asked what her problem was, Talbot "flipped" and started screaming abuse at her.

Ms Martin's friend Suzanne Bowes got in between them. Talbot was saying something about Ms Martin's dead sister that she could not hear over the music so she turned her head to listen.

"The next thing, I got a blow to the left side of my head beside the temple," Ms Martin said. "My knees went from under me and I went down. She walked away, laughing and sneering at me. I had a massive lump on the side of my head."

The whole article is really quite... something.

Isner won. Wow. Just...wow. My heart was going to break either way, but it breaks extra hard for the unseeded underdog who held on this long.
