			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You make my <strong>dreams come true Hall</strong> &amp; Oates, the quintessential 1980s pop song. They don&#8217;t make cheesy electronic pop music like they used to.  A bit like WHAM&#8230; check out the hair:</p>
<div id="attachment_209" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://closebutsofar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/614px-HallandOatesAlbumCover.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-209 " title="dreams-come-true-hall-and-oates" src="http://closebutsofar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/614px-HallandOatesAlbumCover-300x292.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="292" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Young and fresh, somehow this look drew the women (and men) in the 1980s...</p></div>
<p>Ever wondered what happened to them? Did your Dreams come true Hall? Well, i presume not in terms of ageing&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_210" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://closebutsofar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/you-make-my-dreams-come-true-hall-and-oates.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-210 " title="you-make-my-dreams-come-true-hall-and-oates" src="http://closebutsofar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/you-make-my-dreams-come-true-hall-and-oates-300x289.png" alt="" width="300" height="289" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hall and Oates - now inducted into the Zombie Dreams come true Hall of fame..</p></div>
<p>The phrase &#8216;well preserved&#8217; comes to mind&#8230; so much so that we must induct Hall and Oates into the Zombie Dreams come True Hall of Fame! (the only other member is actually Gianfranco Zola):</p>
<div id="attachment_212" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 200px"><a href="http://closebutsofar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/zola-zombie.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-212 " title="zola-zombie" src="http://closebutsofar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/zola-zombie-190x300.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Zola, manager of West Ham Football club.  Part-time Zombie</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;m sure these 3 will be the first &#8216;people&#8217; you see come a zombie outbreak.</p>
<p>Still, i bet Hall and Oates are laughing all the way to the bank with their one hit wonder:   &#8216;You make my dreams come true&#8217;.  Full of cheesy 80s electronica groove. Incidentally &#8216;You make my dreams come true&#8217; &#8211; Hall &amp; Oates was released as a single in 1980, re-used to terrible effect in &#8216;The Wedding Singer&#8217; too and used to none epic effect when they&#8217;re trying to get a polar bear off a yard in &#8216;Dumb and Dumberer&#8217;:</p>
<p>Check out the song though: Dreams come true &#8211; Hall &amp; Oates YouTube video:</p>

<p>Ah well, at least people were happier in the 80s <img src='http://closebutsofar.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">A frustrated Indonesian football (soccer) fan went crazy and took matters into his own hands by expertly taking the ball and running the length of the pitch Forrest Gump style.</span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mAnvErokxVM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mAnvErokxVM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Notice his lack of shoes!! His shot was a bit poor though, lacked accuracy straight at the keeper but his pace and power are to be admired.  One spectator said: &#8220;He could be a future striker for Indonesia.&#8221;.  We have to agree <strong>because </strong><strong>like the rest of the team </strong><strong>he couldn&#8217;t even score.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">He&#8217;s probably better than the entire Indonesian team put together anyway. </span></strong></p>
