HOLY SHIT WHAT A FUN TIME!!! Ok, so Minnesota Swarm is our Lacrosse team, yes, we have a lacrosse team. Anywho, I went with my dad and step-mom, Kathy, to the game on Friday night. I had almost as much fun as I do at hockey games and they guys were almost as cute!! Ok, so it's not totally popular, but there were close to about 8,000 people there, which is ok. During the game, they would play clips from tv shows and movies and stuff. They did a lot of Family Guy and a lot of Napolean Dynamite and a couple from Anchor Man. oh! in the beginning, they were announcing the team and they had most of the team come from the locker room, but the starting line-up came down the step by the crowd...our seats were on the aisle where they came down, so I got to slap their gloves when they were coming down...that was aussome! Then our seats were perfect, right behind the Swarm bench! A couple of the guys got into it and were fighting, and our guy totally kicked ass. Instead of going to the penalty box all pissed off, he ran pumping his fist and they showed him on the screen smiling...that was aussome!! Then on the big screen they showed a clip from Napolean Dynamite where him and his brother get into a slapping fight...I almost fell out of my chair at that point! Then there was this bogus call for crease violation on the Swarm, so we didn't get a goal that we should have, so they played a clip from Family Guy with everyone laughing and then Stewie says, "someone's gonna have to explain that one to me"...I almost fell out of my chair then too!! During half time they showed the Wild score and we were up 3-0 after the first, so that made the night ever better!!! Then after the game, we were leaving and we got to the car and my dad was like "shit, I need to go back in" he forgot his phone! So Kathy, who had 4 double rum and cokes, looks at him and says "you fuckin idiot!"...ok, that is NOT like her at all, that's how I knew she was completely drunk! So my dad goes back in to get his phone and Kathy and I are in the car and I was like "I'm gonna call him!". So both Kathy and I did, Kathy left a message though, I didn't. She was being SO funny!! She brought her drink with her in the car and was literally sucking it dry...it was just so hilarious! Then we went to this bar/restaurant to get something to eat and Kathy orders a rum and coke again, but not a double...BUT, there was this 2-1 thing or something going on, so she got 2 drink! so she pretty much had 10 rum and cokes throughout the course of the night. Her and my dad have been together for 4 years, I think, and I have NEVER seen her like this at all!! It was so funny...kinda sad, but really funny!!!
The Minnesota Swarm play the Buffalo Bandits this Sat. night. I am a season ticket holder for the Bandits. Lacrosse is so competitive-Just like hockey, but the players play for the love of the game-not to be millionaires.
