Oh hell. I was going to explain why the match was so important and blah blah blah, but we're only here to check in with the Dirtbunnies. So here are some Dirtbunnies:
Gian and Camoranesicamoranesicamoranesi.
Sleepy and ADP. See about the hair and the hotness points? See? SEE?! The hair issue is not mitigated (much) by the other Sleepy issue (which I will leave unmentioned). Hey, who's that other guy in Rossoneri?
That, my dear friends, is Paolo Maldini. He is 40 (context: this is not the NFL, or MLB, or the NBA where 40-year-old players may not be common, but aren't exactly freaks either. Futbol players in Europe peak at about 25, are considered washed up by about 33, and no one makes it to 40. Except in Italy, where they peak at about 32, and are washed up at 35. Except for ADP, who is not going to age. He promised me.) Ahem. Where were we? Paolo is 40. He has played for the Rossoneri for 25 years. He is retiring at the end of the season (i.e., this weekend). He is a legendary player, known for his talent and class and loyalty to one club for his entire career. Oh, and his looks. Paolo doesn't do it for me, but I can see what the fangirls see in him.
So the big match between the Bianconeri and the Rossoneri at one point meant that Gio fouled the duckling. Of course he did. That is his job. This led to something very unusual:
Paolo decided to let Gio have a piece of his mind. Paolo rarely loses it, and Gio rarely looks like he is going to pee his pants. But here it is, recorded on film for all time.
Fortunately, Gigi stepped in with his Hey-we're-all-friends-here-let's-kiss-and-make-up routine, thus saving Gio's life (goalkeepers and central defenders do have a special relationship after all) and defusing the situation, although it looks here like Paolo is not quite completely cooled off yet.
Everyone loves Paolo. And everyone loves ADP. So naturally, the game ended with this:
Despite all of this, Dirtbunny has decided not to call up Paolo. He deserves the honor, but more than that, he deserves the honor and dignity of a peaceful retirement. Instead of fetching Bunny her drinks, someone should be fetching him his drinks.

I think Berlusconi should fetch Paolo his drinks. He can probably do less damage and more social good with that task than any other that he could possibly perform.
