I didn't want to post again because I didn't want to push down my Office Space post, but I figure I have to post again sometime, so it might as well be now. I just read a blurb on MSNBC about a soccer team that traded a player in exchange for 33 lbs. of meat. This reminds of me something that probably isn't relevant at all.

In 10th grade health class, we had to watch the movie Johnny Lingo for some reason. I'm not going to summarize the movie (much). It was apparently produced by the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as tool used for teaching people about their value as humans. Actually, I think we had to watch this movie in health class at the same time we were learning about eating disorders.

The only reasons this movie has stuck with me since 10th grade are because it was incredibly cheesy and I enjoyed telling girls their value as approximated by the number of cows they would be worth. In the movie, Mahana turns out to be worth eight cows - which happened to be the largest number of cows ever offered for a bride on that particular island (which shocked everyone because Mahana was "ugly," or at least everyone thought she was until she realized her beauty when she was traded for eight cows).

Also, as luck would have it (?), Kim and I watched the movie on our honeymoon on the cruise ship. I don't know why Carnival Cruise Lines was playing this movie on the in-room televisions, but it worked out great because now Kim knows what I'm talking about when I call her a 10-cow woman. (thank goodness)

I also like to say she looks like a million crispy chicken nuggets, but that's totally irrelevant to this post.

Anyway, I feel bad for the soccer player because 33 lbs. of meat is way less than 1 full cow. I hope that doesn't make him feel less valuable as a person.
