The minor leagues are categorized as being Class A, AA, and AAA. Class A is the lowest rung on the ladder, where players begin their pro careers in places like Lowell, MA, Hickory, NC, Lakeland, FL, and, yes, Norwich, CT.

Never heard it used outside of baseball that way - though, I've heard "minor league" or "bush league" as similar references.

6. I think I usually refer to it as "A" Ball |
|
Then double A, and triple A.

3. Time to start messing with them |
|
What better way than to root for whatever team plays Italy in the upcoming World Cup? If they get pissed about it, you win! If they don't care, you can call them out as posers and you still win!

Payback for the b.s. in the game against Ireland.

7. OMG, OMG, I don't even want to think about it... |

... living in Germany with a soccer-fan husband. Will be unable to get his attention for two weeks. He wouldn't notice if I shaved my head and walked around buck-assed naked with an ostrich feather stuck in my butt, wearing Kermit slippers.

Told DH about my premonitions. DH is now in a huff.
I am upping the ante. Not only will I shave my head, strut around buck-assed naked with an ostrich feather stuck in my butt while wearing Kermit slippers, but I'll also cackle and do the Funky Chicken.
