Watching the Washington Bullets

With my sister I recently bought 7 Washington Wizards (who will from now on be referred to by me as the Washington Bullets because "wizards" is just a lame name) tickets for 100 level seats. Yesterday we saw the Bullets get beat up on by the New York Knicks. Sad.

    But a few highlights from the game:
  • This was our view. It's the first time I've been able to watch the game with my own eyes rather than look at the giant screen hanging from the center of the arena. Most of the upcoming games I'm going to will have this view, which is basically just on the opposite side of the floor.

  • I got a Washington Bullets lunch box just for coming to the game. Yes, at my new job I do plan on bringing all my lunches in this lunch box.

    I know you're straining to see what's written on the side of the lunch box so I'll go ahead and answer that for you: This lunch box is sponsored by Hebrew National, once again giving support to the stereotype that Jews run the sporting world (What do you mean you haven't heard that stereotype? The stereotypes go like this: we control all the banks and the media, we're amazing in bed and we control the sporting world. What do you mean you haven't heard the last 2 before? No I'm not making those up, but they must come from somewhere. Oh yeah, that's right ladies.) In addition, while I will be bringing all my lunches in this box, I won't be bringing turkey and cheese sandwiches or shrimp kabobs.

  • I snagged this ultra hip DC Lottery hat. And I actually did "snag" the hat - it fell from the roof of the MCI Center while attached to this DC Lottery mini-parachute. Note on the mini-parachute: my roommate's cat likes to wander around our apartment's balcony but we always worry she might get stuck and plummet to the ground. This parachute might be the solution we have been looking for.

  • I got to see Syracuse alum Etan Thomas score 8 points, grab 5 rebounds and block 2 shots. He's a star!

  • Quote of the Game: "Put the Passion of Christ on the floor!" No, the Bullets didn't just pick Jesus up off of waivers. That's former Duke star Christian Laettner. Stay back ladies, he's married.
