Sungoations 3

So yesterday was Superbowl XLIII. While it was one of the most exciting superbowl games of all time, I got all of my excitement out of the boxes. At every point during the game, I'd root for safteys, going for 2 extra points, field goals instead of touchdowns (I had terrible numbers like 5-5, 9-5, etc.) I was rooting for the boxes more than the Cardinals (I hate the Steelers, give it up to Roethlisberger though, he had a great game.) Anyway, I've noticed many interesting things over the past few weeks that don't involve sweaty men.

-On the train the other day, I saw this guy listening to his iPod. He was laughing hysterically; I thought he must have either been listening to a comedian or was crazy. That's when I thought back that I have definitely listened to Mitch Hedberg with headphones on in a public place before, and someone probably thought I was crazy, but how can you not laugh at, "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."

-The worst thing for a soccer goalie must be having to get the ball out of the net after he's scored on. That's when I thought that the equivalent of that in baseball would be the pitcher having to go get the ball after a homerun. That would suck.

-Why can't McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. all agree on a 92 cent menu. It's not a 99 cent or dollar menu when you have to spend $1.08. The dollar menu should mean, "I have a dollar, you have some food, let's trade on even terms."

-You know the soandsoscreenname is typing... thing on AIM? I hate it when I am having a conversation, and I'm about to say something, but that comes up, so I wait for them to say whatever they need to say. It'll come up for like 5 minutes, so I'm thinking wow this is gonna be great! Then it just disappears, and you wasted 5 minutes of your life because the person probably just left a letter in the input box.

-I do love however, when you accidentally interrupt someone else's conversation, they type into your conversation for a few seconds, and either realize it and change it, or they send you, "omg, i love john and kate plus 8, too!!" How embarrassing.

-'Apart' and 'a part' are like completely opposites. That's retarded.

-The path between campus and one of our buildings off campus is narrow enough to only let 3 lanes of side by side walking. It's very awkward when you'll be walking with a group of 4 (2x2), and are walking by another group of 2x2 people. It's even worse when you merge, don't realize there's someone you know in that group until after they pass, and now it looks like you are ignoring that. You'll make it worse if you turn around and shout something, just keep walking, explain later.

-I'll end with my rolled up sleeves theory for sweatshirts. Most sweatshirts are designed so that if you have the sleeves down to the end, the sleeve is a little loose, thus allowing a draft to get in and make you a bit chilly. If you roll up your sleeves a little bit, sure it exposes your forearm, but your overall body is warmer because you now have that seal that prevents the draft from entering at the arm holes. It's worth the forearm sacrifice, trust me, try it out.
