The worst part about my soccer game last night was somehow getting rug burn on each of the four main joints. The one on my right elbow is especially annoying. Craig asked me if getting the red card wasn't the worst part of the game, but chicks dig it when you're ejected for violent conduct...it's like a black eye.

The second WallaceandSon Antique is available on eBay for you Louis Marx & Co. collectors. It has a couple of bids so far and looks like it might perform as hoped. It's a wind-up toy tank from WWI. At least the tank is a WWI tank, I think the toy is from the 30s. I can't even imagine how scary it would be to see one of these things coming over the field and you in your little trench with a peashooter. Terrifying! But this little guy is a nice toy and would make a great Easter gift.


On the left is a picture of the real deal, rolling over a trench and possibly some poor Germans. On the right is the Jawa Sandcrawler, which bears more than a passing resemblance.
