I swear I was going to get the info out to you. I lied but had a trying weekend. Have you ever flown across country, then looked at 18 houses/apartments, then woke up on Super Bowl Sunday at 5 am when your team was in the game? I thought not. Below is my original post from 1/31/08. It was entitled “The Best Super Bowl Preview on the Internets.” It was going to be about 2500 words, I got almost 600 out before my flight plans were drastically changed. As you will se below I almost made an awesome prediction. I will chronicle the funny story in my next post. Besides that, I was going to take the Giants before rationallity took over. By the way, UDOJ erased the post he was making about the Pats winning 62-17. Otherwise that would be here too.
“Yes I am taking the Giants and 14.”
Well I guess the word is out, you can stop reading right now. Unless of course you want to hear a funny story and read some of the best insight you won’t find anywhere else. I have not posted lately so that I could focus all my energy on previewing the last game of the season. A revelation came to me the week of the NFC championship game when I went home for lunch. Oddly enough, Coming To America was on one of my HD channels. Oddly enough, Prince Akeem picked the Giants to triumph over the Packers of Green Bay by kicking an oblong pigskin through a big “H.”
So far I have been waiting for my moment of zen. It has not arrived yet, but might be coming up fast. You see dear readers, I am not a religous nut, in fact I fail every Jeopardy category that has anything to do with Religion. The category could be, “Religion for people who have never heard of the Bible” and I would still fail miserably. I didn’t even know God and Jesus were different people until recently. When people talk about religion, I look on in confusion almost drooling, trying to figure out what in the hell they are discussing. Now you understand why I don’t understand the The DaVinci Code.
But, weeks leading up to a big game when my team is involved, there is usually a sign, subtle or not which leads me to one opinion or another. This playoff run for the G-men was full of “signs.” For example-
Dallas Game- Tony Romo’s trip to Mexico
Green Bay Game- Coming to America…..(spooky how accurate that was)
New England Game- ????
Well I found my sign dear readers. As many of you may know, LWN is taking his show on the road. A company in Florida is hiring me away from my non-profit work, hopefully so I can be the grease that moves the wheels. Tomorrow, LWN and Grlfnd are scheduled to fly to that area to look for homes and sign a work agreement. Well, a simple projected snow flurry in Indianapolis has now possibly turned into a raging snow storm that could potentially shut down the city for a day. The timing is terrible and will no doubt make my weekend a living hell. Have you ever been trapped in the Indianapolis airport for an extended time? I am not sure how long I can heckle the Rosetta Stone guy before becoming bored.
Scene-
LWN and Grlfrnd walking through airport, LWN already fed is becoming antsy due to many hour flight delay spots language guy.
LWN: (To nobody in particular in an audible tone)- “Shit, stuck in this airport for soooooo long. If only there was someone here who could sell me a package so that I could fulfill my dream of learning Mandarin Chinese. But this is an airport, what are the odds?”
Rosetta Stone Guy: (Running away from his stand)- “Sir, SIR, SIR. Did I hear you wanted to learn a language?”
LWN: “Why yes I do, but how can YOU possibly help ME?”
Rosetta Stone Guy: “Well that’s what we do here.” “I have all sorts of language learning packages available.”
LWN: “Rosetta Stone? Isn’t that the movie with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and the short guy from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia?”
