10 Things About World Cup Soccer That Sound Naughty… but aren’t!
20
10. Polokwane! - actually a South African Host City
9. Mpumalanga – one of the stadiums, not a disease
8. Asian Zone - one of the 8 groupings of world-wide teams, not the red district downtown!
7. Vuvuzela! - it's not South African moon shine
6. Converted Penalty - no religious overtones!
5. Bafana Bafana – the name of the South African team, not a gay musical
4. Joachim Loew - 'Look I am Low!' … team Germany's coach if they loose
3. Red Card - international credit card, only your credit's really bad!
2. Six Yard Box - only the very brave and skilled defend this, it's the goal
1. Royal Bafokeng! – really, it's the name of one of the stadiums, not a lob-sided loss
Written by Lynne Frank
Take a wee sprite of an Alberta girl, a few years on the open road in an 18 wheeler, a small Ontario town, a rambunctious Chocolate Lab, stir briskly and well… Frankly… you get Lynne Frank's take on life in the Teeswater area. Between operating the skein winder at breakneck speed and learning how to knit (not to mention searching high and low for the perfect Band-Aid) Lynne shares her favourite recipes, tips on playing a 'killer' game of Euchre and thoughts on just about anything that piques her interest.
