One more horror story.
So my girlfriend walks into my basement (the man cave of our condo) at roughly 5:50 into the first quarter (Celtics up 18-9, dominating) and says the babies are coming. Not hers, her sisters; twins even. So we rush out of the house, Im more annoyed than anything (they're not my kids
) and we start the 3-4 hour drive from Potsdam NY to Burlington VT. Sometime around plattsburgh (about 2 hours later) my buddy John calls me. He lives in Boston but he's from North Country NY just like me and hates all Boston sports teams. The following conversation takes place:
John: Hey man, you watchin the game?
Me: Nah, Elaine's sister is having the twins, we had to get up and go in a hurry. Don't say anything though, Im DVR'ing the game and I wanna watch it when I get home.
*Pause*
Me: They're winning tho, right? They gotta be killing them after that game 3. Tell me they're winning.
John: Heh...heh...
Me: They're losing? (profanity) you they're losing. They gotta be blowing them out.
John: Yeah man...they're really killing them.
Me: Whew....alright. Well Im driving man, so I will cya next weekend when you come up, right?
John: Yeah man....drive safe....WAIT! One more thing.
Me: What?
John: Hawks win series tied 2-2. Up yours.
Then he hung up.
This stems from me ridiculing Eli Manning all football season for being an overrated privileged silver spoon havin choke artist...so John has been mocking the Celtics. This ruined my night though. I didn't go see "little miracles"...I saw the maggots of the human race. I was sour from when he called me around 10:15 or so until I got back to Potsdam at 5 this morning.
When we were driving along and my girl was talking about the new incoming nephews I'd just burst out all Tourette's like and say "(Profanity)! I can't believe they lost again! (profanity x10)."
Im a little more focused today. Still optimistic. My father said "I guess Garnett might be suspended for game 5 in Boston". My response: Good. This team is so good they could have swept Atlanta WITHOUT Garnett if they would've played like it was November.
Ok...I feel a little bit better. Still furious.
