Being a detective was my great life goal as a wee child. One year, I looked at the evidence of one of childhood's great mysteries, comparing the handwriting in a note left by Santa beside a plate of cookie crumbs and an empty milk glass to a note Mom had left me after school. Nothing was the same after that, but eventually I decided it was OK if Santa was more a concept "alive" in everyone, rather than a separate entity. It's also how I dealt with the idea of God, but without the handwriting analysis. I loved detective shows when I was a kid. Being a detective was my great life goal as a wee child.

Maybe it was a more public spectacle than in a factory, but the torture element isn't celebratory to me. Unless El Fandi had been gored. That said, I'd still like Spain to win the World Cup.
