Best Practices

So its Saturday, and hopefully Priyam and I can do something fun today, I miss Boba Tea, so I think we'll get some drinks in the morning, go to Verizon to handle a minor billing issue, and Priyam will probably get her haircut. Who knows what else we'll do, probably go see a movie or something as well.

Meanwhile, while reading my news and blogs this morning, I can upon this ridiculous article. Now, I love football (soccer for all you yanks), and I try to watch as many live matches as I can. Its tough in the states to watch, because of the lack of matches put on tv. Priyam got me Fox Soccer Channel for christmas though, so I've been enjoying that quite a bit. But, back to topic, I learned about Hamburg based club St.Pauli not too long ago, who in the Bundisliga is considered sort of a dark horse, but I saw this article, and it sort of takes things to a whole new level:
----
St Pauli strippers get sent off
German side St Pauli have always done things differently but even the The Pirates of the League have to draw the line somewhere and the Bundesliga club have asked the owners of one of their executive boxes to stop strippers performing during matches.

The problem arose after executives from Susi's Show Bar, situated on Hamburg's main red-light drag, the Reeperbahn, forked out around £60,000 for a private box at the Millerntor-Stadion and promptly installed a pole and mirror.
A toy train that delivers hotdogs and personal beer pump just isn't enough for some people. Off the Ball can't help but wonder what Andy Gray and Richard Keys would say about the situation.

Now that is a soccer match, my favorite about that is the idea of the front office executives allowing the strippers in their box prior to and after the match, just not during. Classic.
