Been at the public viewing of the Portugal-Germany match, yesterday evening, 
but honestly I was more into game watching and beer drinking than shooting. 
Priorities, you know. Some PAW alternates from before the game:

After the game I met this dude in a bar and immediately knew he's gonna 
be PAW#25:

He's "The Human Jukebox" and his concept is quite funny. He offers a list 
with 
songs from the past 35 years, from Black Sabbaths "War pigs" over to Adriano 
Celentano's "Azzuro" to Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" and much more. You select 
a song and tell it to him - he writes it down on a sheet of paper in front 
of him 
(yeah this guy is quite analog). Then you insert a coin into his piggy bank 
- see picture http://mogool.com/PAW2008/alternates/?pic=50 - and he sings.
And not that bad, by the way. Wildly over the usual Karaoke level.

His price politics is also funny. While all pop/rock songs cost 2 francs, he 
wants 5 francs for national anthems and Pavarotti's "Torna a suriento". 
Germany's win yesterday was a good deal for him as their anthem was 
asked and asked again...

Comments welcome as always.
