Avoiding World Cup Widowhood
Ladies, the World Cup kicks off this Friday. Do you know where your man will be?
It is a little cruel, isn't it? Since soccer is shown so rarely at respectable hours on available channels, your fellow has been slowly accumulating an extraordinary capacity to watch folks tear about the pitch. It's unlikely that he'll grow weary any time soon.
But let's be frank. Do you really want to drag out the weeds and acquiese to being a World Cup Widow while the rest of the world is having a big party? I mean, practically the entire population of Brazil will be cutting it up in Cologne for the next month. Live a little.
As with any other sporting event, the solution is a delicate balance of education and emotional attachment. To this end, the Weichbrodts cheerfully present their own creation: Avoiding World Cup Widowhood -- a Guide for the Uninitiated. Download, print, and fill out. Hand it out at parties. Keep it buy the tv for quick distribution the unlearned you entertain. Sleep with it under your pillow.
Come July 9, you might just find your face paint running with tears of joy as you wildly wave a scarf in the air next to your better half.

I think a primer on cursing would be more useful.

I could work up a primer on cursing in chinese, if you wanted. Then you can curse with 1.4 billion people (in their language) every time South Korea or Japan scores a goal.
