Here are some pictures of me at the Arsenal v. Sunderland game from a few weeks ago.

13. It's my fault. I should have told you.
Hey, as long as we're happy, right?

14. I suppose.
I do wish I'd have asked you in a manner which didn't make it ridiculously obvious what the result was. Lesson learned. I was just overexcited... I apologize.

24. 5-nil to the Arsenal!
Wow. I mean just wow. Arshavin was ridiculous. That Nasri goal was one of the best I've seen in quite some time. Those two looked like Fred Astaire the way they danced through the Porto back 4. I still don't think that Bendtner is a long-term solution. He's great in the air, but doesn't offer much value in creating opportunity.

27. Yes, the Nasri goal was a thing of beauty.
I have to say I do like Bendtner. He's still young, I think he has the potential to develop nicely.

5. Awesome! I want to meet him someday!
And unlike other wild animals, Capybaras can be domesticated eaiser than wolves.

They're rodents - the easiest mammals to train!

And yes, I still want to meet him!

8. No, they can be *tamed*. They can't be domesticated.
Domestication is what happens to a species. Just sayin'.

18. Sorry - tamed
Where is the demarkation between tamed and domesticated anyway?

I've heard of domesticated Wolves, Raccoons and Possums.

26. You've heard of tamed wolves, raccoons and possums...
and you've heard of domesticated cows, cats, dogs and goats. See the difference?

6. I originally thought that picture was Photoshopped
then I read the story. Pretty interesting. I think I'll stick to cats, though.

17. Rodents merely attract proportionally-sized members of the cat family.
