So three nights ago we moved into our semi-permanent place where we'll live for the next few months. Which, by the way, that was by far the easiest move we've ever made. We just had to zip up a few suitcases and we were ready to roll. Anyway, this place where we're staying just so happens to have cable. The family living there before us splurged a little and signed up for the so-called "sports" package. After unloading suitcases and sort of unpacking the important stuff, I was ready to veg-out a little and watch some sports. Oh how disappointed I was. My options were:

- soccer games on 2 channels between teams I've never heard of
- some soccer recap show
- golf (a.k.a. watching grass grow)
- badminton (always makes me think of the cartoon )
- some kind of race where people run a mile then shoot a BB gun, then run another mile and shoot the BB gun....who knew that was a sport?
- synchronized diving
Since I was bound and determined to watch sports, I settled on a soccer game between BUN and GAM. Don't know what either "BUN" or "GAM" means but it's what was written in the corner of the screen for their scores. I never was able to determine anything else about the teams because I couldn't understand the announcers' ascents or possible it was another language, though to tell.
