Anyone who knows a Roderick knows that we love soccer. We love watching it on TV. We love going to games. Some of us love playing it. Today was a very, very good soccer day.
It started at 5:30am when Scott and I jumped out of bed, ran downstairs, tuned in to international play and watched the USA beat Australia in a 3-1 victory. Sweet.
Then it was off to the Home Depot Center to watch the Galaxy kick it with the Dynamo. It was quite a game. We had seats on the sunny side of the Center and it was hot. Really hot.
Our good friend, Don was seated next to a rather large man who began chatting him up as the game continued. Said man then removed his shirt as sweat poured off of him. In my humble opinion, it is never okay for a man over forty to take off his shirt at a professional sports event. NEVER.
By this time in the conversation, Don had discovered that this guy had scored cheaper tickets than he himself had and this is not a good thing to share with DNH. Now it was personal. This guy proceeded to lean closer and closer into Don as the first half of the game progressed. Don, shall we say, was becoming more and more aggravated and distressed and yes, his "old" was beginning to show. Mercifully halftime arrived and we were able to find some shade, have a cold drink and begin the second leg of the game refreshed.
We returned to our seats to find shirtless guy still there and yes, still sweating like a pig. But nothing could compete with what happened next. Believe me when I say I can not make this stuff up. Don's new friend put his long, perspiration drenched arm around Don and gave him a squeeze right up in his masculine, hairy, wet armpit. EWWWW!
Finally, by the grace of God, Don's friend left and Don was able to get out from under the sweltering mass that this gentleman truly was. Great game even with the odd perks. Galaxy 4, Dynamo 1. Still undefeated.
Told you it was a good day.
