Spending the Night: Take One

I don't know who was less ready, Jordan or Lorraine. OK, Lorraine was less ready, but he did make it to about ten o'clock before he wanted to come home.

Harlem Globetrotters vs Washington Generals

Bet you have no idea how this turns out. We went down and watched the Harlem Globetrotters yesterday. Yes, they won, I know you were wondering. All of Lorraine's immediate family was there and we all had nice seats right next to each other (thanks, Pipa). Too bad they couldn't get the sound worked out, it was hard to hear what they were saying most of the time. Jim Cole from WNEP 16 was the guest celebrity who got to play a little bit, making both free throws after he was fouled. All in all, it was a good time and I'm glad to have seen them once. Yeah once, that's enough.

Best/Worst part of the show? During a skit, a player took a purse from a lady in the audience which caused an exchange with the ref. When asked "Where did you get that purse?", he whispered and the ref repeated "From which white lady?". After a shrug and another whisper the ref said, "What do you mean they all look the same to you?". Funny in an ironic way kind of, but not really. Almost about as funny and ironic as "a black man stole a white lady's purse". See, I'm shocked and doubled over with laughter all at the same time </sarcasm>.

Super Bowl XLII Party

This year's Super Bowl Party was pretty fun. Lorraine and I borrowed a deep fryer and went to town making blooming onions, taquitos and hot wings. Again, there was more than enough food and the drinks were plentiful, so let's get to the game. It was played on February 3, 2008 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona between the (NFC) New York Giants (10-6) and the (AFC) New England Patriots (16-0). The Giants won 17-14 in what is sure to be considered the greatest upset in Super Bowl history. Another year, another Manning Super Bowl win; this time by Eli. Those boys sure know how to play. Jordin Sparks performed the National Anthem and halftime was performed by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. The best performance though was Alicia Keys in the pregame. Paula Abdul needs to give it up, that performance was "absolutely dreadful". See you at the next one.
