The divine Alanis Morrissette knockoff?  

At least they did a better job disguising her than Meredith Brooks.  It had
me fooled a while until my friend pointed it out.

Even funnier if she meant it.

I wouldn't consider myself lucky to be a Lenny conquest.  Look what happens
to your career afterwards!

Speaking of football, let's talk American football a bit.  I was amused to
find that the local Fox affiliate was covering the World bowl championship
between Rhein Fire and Frankfurt.  I thought "naw, this is too weird. 
americans aren't interested in what's going on in the world, so why are we
covering this?" And chalked it up to it merely being a cure for football
withdrawal for desperate fans until I noticed that the roster had many
American players and was sponsored by the NFL.  

Let me say that I wouldn't be paying a bit of attention to any sport except
that it's part of my job at work.

What;s the matter?  Do  the Europeans not care enough to sponsor their own
league, do the Americans have to own everything, or is it like eurodisney? 
I noticed that the stands were full, but I wonder if it was mostly
tourists, or people who couldn't get to a soccer match.  In my stay in
Europe, never did I get the impression that American football was big.
