The soccer thing is HUGE in Alaska and some other suburbs, but you're right about playing it in the city. I grew up in San Francisco (right in the city not nearby) and we played soccer a lot. The most useful Spanish I learned was either during soccer or riding the bus. Got me in trouble with my professor from Spain, but at least I could communicate with real people in the US with my so called "gutter Spanish".
I wish I had a picture of this 1980's Ford Escort I saw lowered with wide tires and lights underneath, it was hysterical. There are lots of Hondas and Acuras zipping about back home, but here in the snow drifts and land of pot holes it is stupid. I have seen a Honda Civic high centered on a snow berm after spinning out. He wrecked the lights under his car. The campus cops here also really hate on the different colored lights people have and pull people over left and right.
As far as the underwear thing goes...people should make sure they are wearing nice clean underwear and nothing with busted out elastic or holes. I also don't like the underwear now marketed that is meant to be shown, with little charms and sayings on the back. Tacky. I have to add in tank tops with straps smaller than the bra straps, it just looks funny. Oh and do you remember the early 90's sagging, with the jeans, boxers and sweats, must have been hot in there.
I mentioned scooters since I saw two winners riding motorized scooters on Easter. They aren't too useful in Alaska unless it is summer, as snow highly impedes their usefulness. However on my way home from work yesterday I saw someone on an old school scooter from the 80's rolling down the road, and it was cool. I really miss my banana seat bike with the streamers, and basket with plastic flowers.
