The Daily Drool: Hulk

I thought I’d continue the World Cup Drools giving the winning teams extra droolage. First up is Givanildo Vieira de Souza better known as Hulk. The forward plays for Zenit Saint Petersburg. He has represented Brazil at the Olympic and senior national team levels. His butt is so legendarily bootylicious that it was measured on Brazilian televison. It’s 43.7 inches!!!!!! That’s 4 inches bigger than last year’s reignin Miss Bum Bum. Damn, son.  He’s a brick..HOUSE.

A Lot Of Catching Up To Do…

Yes, my lazy arse is finally back to posting. Sorry I’ve neglected you for the past few days. I got back from Philly late on Saturday night and spent almost all of Sunday fast asleep. I was worn out! Didn’t even turn on my computer.  Shout outs to Team Sweaty Shanks (DK, J-9, Shiggers & ginboonmiller) who accompanied me on the journey and awesome watishistas mygypsyspirit, conflictedinspain, Mandi & blackwidow who we got to meet up with. I really enjoyed hanging out with you ladies! I’m so sunburned that I glow in the dark and I could sleep for another week straight, but I had a wonderful time at the pre-season matches.

RM arrived in Spain yesterday (exceptions being the La Roja players that were called up). They didn’t waste any time hauling arse outta there after the game. Heck, Mesut posted a shot of them on the plane while we were enjoying our post-match pints.

Yesterday’s Training/Mou Interview

Okay, I’m trying to haul arse here before I leave for Philly in a half hour. Hopefully the Bolt bus has working wifi so I can update, but just in case, here’s some training shots and a Mou interview.

Bits & Bobs: Arrival In NY, Transfer News And More

The team arrived last night and is hopefully scurrying somewhere around NYC where we can find them even as we speak.

And I have to ask, why Arbeloa are you sitting by yourself with Albiol behind you (not to mention keeping your aviators on)? Is Pipa teasing both of you by hanging out with Norma up front?  Tangled webs, boys, tangled webs.
