1. I come to you fresh from watching Juventus pull out a squeaker of a 2-1 win against Lazio which keeps them first in the league by one precarious point. My boyfriend Alessa got the winner at around minute 83 or so. That brute Kozak seems to have broken Leo's nose. ADP kissed Claudio. And at the end, when the tifosi were all signing the Juve song, Gio joined in. &hearts
2. Juve spams take me pretty much an entire day to put together. I just can't do them regularly and still keep my job. I miss doing them, but it can't be helped.
3. Der Kirbenhund has a new trick. Every day, he comes up with something new to give us all a heart attack. Yesterday, it was a runny pile of poop surrounded by a lake of mucous and bright red blood. Today, it was about five minutes when he decided he was unable to stand up. So we get all frightened and worked up and then everything goes back to normal as if nothing happened. It's freaky.
4. In connection with #3, I'm sure I told you all before that when I walk into the regular vet, it's like Norm walking into Cheers. We have now reached the point where it's the same thing at the specialty vet. *sigh*
5. In connection with #3&4, Kirby is no longer on chemo. His platelet count is so low (below 8,000 when 200-500,000 is normal) that it isn't safe. There is very little that can be done about this. It's possible he has a tick-borne infection that can be treated, but if it isn't that, then we are pretty much at the end of the medical merry-go-round.
Aside from the five minutes a day when he has us completely scared out of our wits, Kirby is not acting sick at all. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, and he's happy and affectionate like always. That's the important part. Truly, I'm almost glad that there aren't really any medical options left to pursue. It would suit me fine if he were to stay around forever, of course, but we are way past the point when it makes a difference if we understand what's going on. If his platelet counts can't be raised, then does it really matter what the cause is? And if it doesn't matter what the cause it, then why should we be extracting bone marrow samples and doing more ultrasounds? He has been a medical mystery since the beginning when he started coughing up chunks of plastic; bloody diarrhea for no apparent reason is just another bit of unexplainable Kirby-ness that makes him my Special Sweetheart. It's time to enjoy the time he has left while he still feels good and can still be a dog and do dog things.
6. I've tried going vegan again. So far, about two weeks. Oops. Except tonight, we finished off a bottle of salad dressing that has dairy in it. See this one is vegan, but this one isn't. Perhaps you can see how Mr. D brought the wrong kind home. I forgot it wasn't vegan and didn't throw it away and so it accidentally made it onto the plate and into my tummy. Oh well. It's a sunk cost. Whether I remembered to throw it away or decided to finish it off can no longer have any effect on the market for animal products, so it was essentially a neutral act. This is all going pretty well. It's easier than I thought it would be, and I've discovered that there is a whole lot of vegan junk food available if you have the patience to read labels at the Fresh Fields. I've also figured out which type of soymilk makes good gelato, so we've got it covered.
Except for one thing. I listened to a podcast the other day featuring a short story, A Dog's Tale by Mark Twain. I cried for hours and stayed red-eyed and puffy for three days. Every time I looked at one of the beagles, I could imagine them being in a cage at a market in China, waiting for someone to choose them to eat for dinner. The details of what people do to animals are just too much for me.

Old Lady Post: Udinese and Siena

Juventus 2:1 Udinese
OK, so I can't keep that up, but the match did happen so long ago that I don't remember anything except Win! and Snow!
BUM has slowly been losing it over the past week weeks. It can't be long before he pulls one of his psycho things that he does.
Claudio's steely determination.
I love snow.
I wonder how much product it takes to keep the hairz up when it's wet outside. If it's my hair, then the answer is "there's not enough product in the universe."
Three things I like about Andrea right now: His plain shoes. His ring finger tattoo. His tanned (!) knees.
His hair stays bouncy and flowy in the snow.
Hey there, Samir.
First look at Quags's right arm disappearing up to the elbow. Then look at Gelson Fernandes's expression of surprise. I know I'm not the only one who's thinking it.
It's true. Matri was a beast and scored two.
He did his Super Secret Selebration instead of the weird surfing thing from a few weeks ago.
Ummm, Matri looks like he could be a bit happier here.
Yeah, Leo. As if you had much to do with it. And don't be late for dinner.
After that, the Zebes traveled to Parma, where their match was snowed out. It's rescheduled for Wednesday.
After that, The Zebes were home to more zebras, from Siena this time.
Juventus 0:0 Siena
Um, this was a boring and disappointing one. As usual, I remember very little. One thing I know for sure, however...
Mirketto was dire. I mean seriously bad. Conte left him on the pitch for far too long.
When Conte finally subbed in Borriello, he was tragic as well.
So Marco tried to make up for his fail by baiting the ref. Despite his insanely tender years, Mr. Peruzzo didn't bite.
While taller strikers were on the pitch exploring the limits of Suck (hint: Suck has no limits), my boyfriend spent the match, as usual, in the stands.
Lichtsteiner is starting to come unglued.
Paolino is starting to get his form back, which is bad news for Bonucci.
This guy, whoever the fuck he is, had the match of his life. *sigh* Unknown keepers from second-rate teams are not supposed to be able to stop the mighty Zebes.
The refereeing was bad, but I don't remember exactly what he did wrong.
Gigi gave the ref a little talking-to after the match. For some reason, I think the reffing was bad all over that weekend, but I've blocked it all out now.
By the way, how cold is it in northern Italy?
it's so cold in northern Italy that Keyser Giorgio, Giorgio of the Jungle, our sweet Gio, is training in tights like a pussy.
Milos is still here, in case you were wondering.
El Pelado is hanging with the cool kids, of which he is certainly one. Meanwhile, Vidal has started brooding about how he thought he was the cute brown one. To which I say, Aw honey, you're very cute. And here's the part I don't say: But Martin is smokin' hot. Mamma Mia!
(Oh dear. I'm watching a replay of Inter-Novara and Caracciolo has just scored. Martha must be spitting nails. *pats her*)
So that's it for the other zebra-stripey squads. Perhaps now we can get back to kit selections that makes sense.
A long, long time ago, in a place far, far away from Bunny's house, there were two tribes of zebras who met in battle on a wet, snowy day to decide which zebras were the most awesome. What actually happened on that day has now passed into legend as there is no one left who is alive to remember. However, there is some mention in church records that the battle was won by the Zebras of the West and that they were led by a strange Matri!beast with flowing brown hair and a strange star on his chest.
Historians, however, have recently discovered some strange etchings on a ruin in an abandoned town in southwest Lombardia. After carefully removing millennia of dirt and grime, they have uncovered a single, crucial word that gives the etchings meaning: Matri. It is widely accepted among academics that this important finding is indeed a contemporaneous record of the largely forgotten battle between zebra and zebra. For the first time ever, copies of the mysterious images have been made available for public viewing.

JUVENTUS 3:0 ROMA
Come with me if you will to January 24, to the Coppa match against scary A.S. Roma. The Giallorossi had just come off a 5-1 pounding of lowly Cesena whereas the Zebes were worried that their non-losing streak might come to an end. Some of us hoped that we might see some lost boys in the line-up, given that it was a Coppa match. However, Bunny favorites Vincenzo and the Green-Eyed Gorilla of Love were nowhere to be seen in any of the photos of the January training sessions, so it looked unlikely that either would appear. Would Conte play to win?

Um, yeah. So it turns out that there is such a thing a a post that's too large. I was surprised to discover this given some of the monstrously oversized Inter posts we have seen in past days, but there it is. That means the end of the last post now gets to be its own post.
OK, then, let's get in the way-back machine and head back to December. Let's join the boys in training, shall we?
I was going to say that maybe I can back off Defcom Golf because I could look at Pepe without wanting to punch him, but now I see that he's twiddling his facial hair like a cartoon villain. Safety first. We remain at Defcom Golf.

We all love football, but we come to this comm because we all have at least some non-football reasons for loving football. Urge to love Borriello at war with urge to keep Loooca and Vince. All this conflict is going to make my head explode.

Old Lady Post: Not Losing in December
Il Mister is grateful that his hair plugs turned out well.
We're slowly getting caught up here. Here are the salient facts: The Zebes have yet to lose, they got an ugly win against Lecce yesterday, and they haven't offloaded Amauri yet. Before I get to any of that, though, I hope your enjoy another "best of"-style half-assed Tardy!spam recapping the last three matches of December.

Originally posted on December 31, 2011
To pick up where we left off, it was time finally to visit the San Paolo. Giornata 11 had been postponed because Tio Aurelio is soooooo afraid of the mighty mighty zebras that he conspired with God to make it rain so the match could not be played on November 6. Or something like that. I didn't pay much attention to the silly theories. I don't read the Napoli press, but I imagine they were saying similar things about Agnelli and his evil minions. Napoli is having an odd season. They're performing
wonderfully in Europe but underachieving in league play.
On the other hand, Juventus was unbeaten and that surely cannot last. They have to crash at some point and the San Paolo is kind of a scary place to play, so it seemed likely that this would be a nail-biter. And it was.

As Martha and Inter have so aptly demonstrated, football suits of all varieties, through their evil PR minions, will never tire of forcing their players to sacrifice whatever tiny amount of dignity they might have by doing stupid things that may or may not help sell more t-shirts. Juventus is no exception. Here is their Christmas message, in two parts.
Now before you click, think about what you are about to see. There will be some awkwardness, obviously. Some bad singing, natch. Some people who are just so damn happy to be allowed to represent for the zebes in public that they are about to burst. Some people who clearly have contracts exempting the from this sort of shit. Some language-impaired people. Some disturbingly enthusiastic people. Some grumpusses. And one super-classy guy who perfectly finds the sweet spot where he can be a good sport without being a tool.
I'm sure you won't be surprised by who turns out to be the biggest goober.
No! I WON'T do an lj-cut!

P.S. There are renewed rumors about Martin Caceres coming back. It's probably bullshit, but maybe it could happen if we all ask Santa.

WOOT! WE BEAT INTER!
Let's not even bother with the whole "Inter isn't really Inter right now bit." I'd rather beat Inter when Inter is at the top of their form, but matches happen when they happen and right now, Inter is what it is and Juventus beat them. At the San Siro. Maybe it can't last. Surely the other shoe will drop soon enough. For now, though, Juventus is still unbeaten in Serie A.
Holy crap. Even Milos looks half-decent in a suit, if you disregard the hair.

It felt like a loss at the time and it still does.) This time around, Juve managed a clean sheet on a decent defensive performance and a lackluster offensive performance. A null-null draw. Just like nearly everyone else in Serie A last weekend. How very exciting.

And not just because he always is, either. Because he came on as a SuperSub, immediately fired things up, made a crucial goal line clearance, and was mighty unlucky to knock a fine shot off the post.
I'm going to be blunt. I'm really not in the mood for any of this. However, it's not the players' fault that I'm so bummed, and it's not your fault either. I've got about 75 photos and some of them are pretty good and the Zebes survived an away game against the Donkeys. Woo. Hoo. So on I go as is myduty privilege. Fortunately, nothing much happened, so there wouldn't be much to say anyway.

Coverciano spam
By now the Azzurri have returned to their clubs and resumed training for the three (!) very big matches this weekend. For a while, though, they were all best buddies. Here's a collection of training and presser photos from the last week or so, "organized" by subject and not by date.
Unfortunately, one smurf was missing.
Come back Quags.
Old Lady Post: Brescia Spam
Juventus 2:1 Brescia
Looks like someone's been watching Quags highlight reels.
That's better! The good news is that the zebes can beat a relegation-bound squad when the relegation-bound squad's best players are all suspended or sucking like woah. The bad news is that the zebes are not yet mathematically safe from relegation themselves. Also, late post means I can't remember much, but the photos are better cos Daylife posted photos late themselves. Captiano scored a goal in the run of play, Gigi was not forced to commit any professional fouls to save the match, and Krasic woke up. Vincenzo hurt himself during a training session and is out for the season, which is too bad, but it wasn't like he wasn't always injured anyway and this might give him time to rest and actually recover.

Old Lady Post: The Juventus Defense----60% of the time, it works every time
What a big improvement! Instead of the Zebes uniformly playing shit, they only played partly shit. It was an exciting match. Juventus went up 2-0, then gave up a penalty that could have been a whole lot fucking worse than it was, and then the second half was thirty five minutes of nail-biting to see if the boys could hold. Alas, they could not. Also, I'm pretty sure that Lady Luck hates seahorses.

Old Lady Post: Milan Cheats
Juventus 0:1 Milan
Well, what else would you call it? With all the attacking threats Milan has, who would have thought that Juventus would have to protect the goal from Rino Gattuso? I mean come on! Rino almost never scores. His last goal was October 23, 2008 against Heerenveen, whoever the fuck that is. If Rino is going to score, Milan might as well have been playing with an invisible extra man, and maybe I can't find a rule against that in The Laws of the Game, but that doesn't make it right. Sheesh.
