Now, shake hands everybody.
Excessive cursing will get you fined.
Excessive grunting is distracting and gross. Remember, the Duchess of Kent may be watching.
And Sex Pistols, this IS the All-England Club. You must wear the white. Actually, you too, Simon Cowell. Thennk you evahh sa’much.
Oh, and sorry to sic Simon on you, Beatles.
This is totally brilliant.
Oh, this is awesome. And I love the Beatles pic you chose, how they look like they are looking at Simon making a face at them, checking out their competition.
This is so original and by far the best game ever. I love games that don’t involve you actually having to do anything to play.
What wonderful fun!
Sorry I missed the start of the game, but I enjoyed everyone’s choices–and today’s match-ups are hilarious! It’s the quest for the cup. . . of perfect coffee. 🙂
Well, that’s an interesting mix of French and English. Never thought I’d be rooting for a French tennis player. First time for everything.
Oh tracey! You’re making me root for a French player over Andy Roddick in Wimbledon? I don’t know if I have it in me… see, I have this love of tennis myself…
I will say this… If the great Best Thing Ever–England, Simon Cowell, has to go down in the round of 16 at Wimbledon, I’m honored to have him go down to the Beatles.
You see, tracey? You give me a French player, and I’m raising the white flag already. Hahaha.
Go Mathieu! And I looooove that picture of Simon.
Quite an endeavor. I miss all the cool stuff because my weekends are now wholly given over to the Best Thing Ever – my Ladybug (and our marriage). But I will follow along and root at random for whomever, subject to change without notice.
Tracey, you should have assigned somebody to the CIC, just for cheap laffs.
OH, and trace. Simon always wears white on big event nights.
I love Mini Coopers, however, I’m sure that the music of the Sex Pistols has graced many more garages than Mini Coopers.
I don’t follow tennis at all, so I’m happy to root for anyone. After reading up on Janko, he sounds like an underdog poised to win. I’m all about rooting for the underdog. GO JANKO!
I was MIA and missed this whole thing! What a great idea! I love it!
ooh! ooh! there’s a result! i’ll let you announce it, though.
