Champagne Celebrations and Food Fights
October 11, 2008 By Leave a Comment
After witnessing the White Sox win a one game playoff a couple weeks ago (check out my photos on Flickr to the witness the blackout and the celebration), I was reminded of the two things that I think every male adult wishes they could be a part of…the champagne celebration and the food fight. The champagne celebration is so specific to sports that most of us will never get to actually participate in one. Having Ken Griffey Jr. spray my section on September 30th (which will be the only time he does that this year) is probably the closest I will ever come. None of us will ever follow a graduation or wedding or birth of our child with a champagne spray fest…it just seems like something that I would want to be part of.
In the same breath, I would love to be in a huge food fight. I guess this might be the kid in me, but who wouldn’t want to have a large scale food fight where reckless abandon is the norm? Is taht strange? I don’t want this to seem like I want to destroy property but that kind of “fun” is just not attainable to most of us. Although, it might make Christmas dinners with your family more fun…
CEO Punched…The American Dream…
I know the story about the Lehman Brothers CEO getting punched at the gym has made the rounds, but I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more press. I mean, maybe it is a bit sensationalized, but with all of the rhetoric and lies and finger pointing and thievery and deception, I’m glad someone did this. Maybe his punch was meant just as a punch, but I think it lets these powerful elite in our country know that some of us are just not going to ever accept they do in the name of profit.
