Your Peril Masquerading as Landscape Quizo Update

I was quite distraught this weekend that Tiger Woods did not win the Masters, despite the best efforts of everyone PLAYING at the Masters to let him win. Time and again Tiger would slip up, and time and again the entire field would back up their scores to keep him in contention. Once he put his second shot in the water on 15 yesterday, though, it was too late for the field to rush and course-correct themselves to keep Tiger in the hunt, since everyone else was pretty much in the clubhouse by then.

I will admit, though, that those Sam Elliott IBM commercials do make it go down a little easier.

That, however, wasn't the most important sporting news to come out of this weekend.

This is a conversation I had Saturday afternoon with a friend of mine who is a big Manchester United fan.

Me: Hey, you know what the first mp3 player was called?

Him: No?

Me: The RIO!

Him: Shut up.

Me: You know what my favorite city in South America is?

Him: Shut up.

Me: Actually it's La Paz.

Him: Oh.

Me: But I'm also a big fan of RIO!

Him: Shut up.

Me: Hey, let me put my favorite Peter Allen song on iTunes. Let me just find The Boy From Oz on here...

Him: What?

[I Go To Rio starts playing]

Me: (singing) RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOO... I GO TO RIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Him: Shut up.

Me: (over Peter Allen) Or, you know, I could put on my favorite Duran Duran album. Want to guess what that is?

Him: God I hate you.

Me: When I get a new car I think I'm going to get a Kia Rio.

Him: You're not going to buy a Korean car.

Me: Sure I will. You know why?

Him: Please die.

Me: Because HER NAAAAAME IS RIIIIOOOOOOOOO AND SHE DANCES ON THE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

In all honesty I don't really have a favorite Peter Allen song - I do have the Boy From Oz soundtrack on my iTunes, though - but Rio actually is far and away my favorite Duran Duran album.

Most importantly, Chelsea is three points back with 6 to play. GAME ON, BITCHES! GAME ON!
