sporty spice, part III (a.k.a. our adidas....)

david beckham didn't do anything ridiculous today.  by which i mean he probably did something, but we don't know about it because for once everybody gave him the attention he deserves and neglected to report it.  i suppose it's probably for the best, because there's much bigger news in the spice world.  that's right: the spice girls announced their reunion tour.  surely there are millions of other people besides the mighty roy who have been waiting with bated breath for this announcement.  i, however, don't know any of them.  a highly scientific straw poll taken five minutes ago in my kitchen produced the following list of things that the spice girls are better than: soccer.  (see how i worked that in?  i'm very clever.  and soccer blows.)

Spicy!
Spicy!
for what it's worth, today and the past two days here on hotrod.vox.com represent exhibits one and two of why we should be looking to someone - almost anyone, really - but the brits for our pop culture diversions.  they haven't gotten it right with any regularity since the 1960's.

That one on the left looks like an animatronic robot escaped from Disneyworld of the future.

that's posh spice - the one david beckham married. if she's not a robot, she's definitely a beard. i'm betting on beard. not that there's anything wrong with that....

Nah, it's robot. That breast plate is hiding her cold robot interior.

I think the breasts are holding the breastplate, and not the other way around.

My best friend growing up is married to a total cockwad. He loves the Spices, and when their movie came out, he informed his wife that he and his Army pals would be getting their drunk on, so she would need to drive their sorry asses to the movie on opening night, wait for them elsewhere, and then return to pick them up and drive them back to the bar. What's worse, she obliged, and did not complain. I hate the Spices if for no other reason than they've contributed to the further decline of my former-good-friend.

So are Beck and Posh actually in the States now? I have to admit that with my new found feeling of patriotism (living on the other side of the fence is enlightening after all), I also resent them. He's an on-his-way out soccer player that's getting paid too much in America, and she was in one of the lamest singing groups ever. I mean seriously. The worst. She has minus points in the credibility department.
