That guy.

Last night I walked by a valet stand and there was a radio broadcasting a soccer game in Spanish.  As I walked up, that guy who goes, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" had just started yelling, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" you know, like he does, and all the valets started hustling over to the radio to listen better.  Here was their conversation while that one guy went, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL":

"Guatemala?"
"Guatemala?"
"Guatemala o Nicaragua?"
"Nicaragua."
"Nicaragua? No, Guatemala."
"Guatemala?"
"...o Nicaragua..."

And it dawned on me for the first time that that guy doesn't possess a singularly endearing exuberance for the game, he's a real pain in the ass when you need to know if your team just scored a goddam goal.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
