A Frozen, Not-so-Wonderful Wookiee Wednesday
It’s supposed to get up to a balmy 11 degrees in Hoth…er…Middletown, USA today. No, the Speeders still haven’t adjusted to the cold. And I’ve been told my tauntaun will freeze before I reach the first marker.
But, our yard still looks like a war zone. And someone has to clear off the sidewalk. Where’s Chewbacca when we need him?
And then, we can all go outside and play. Chewie, too!
At least we’re not the only ones stuck in a deep freeze. Thanks to the weather in North Texas this year, the prospect of a snowy Super Bowl in Indy in 2012* won’t be that much of a novelty. And I’m thinking Indy is a bit more prepared for that white stuff that falls from the sky.
Then there was the whole temporary seats fiasco. That certainly puts a black eye on the public’s perception of the North Texas Super Bowl experience. And don’t even get me started on the halftime show.
But all was not lost. Along with a pretty good game, there was one commercial that redeemed the evening. One commercial to rule them all. Wait – that’s a different series.
It could be said it was the Chosen One, meant to bring balance – not leave it in darkness.
The Star Wars Geek in me thinks it would be really cool if the kid’s dog was named Indiana.
* Dear NFL owners and Players Association:
This was a great season! The Super Bowl game itself was a great ending to this great season. You’ve got a good thing going here. Don’t ruin it by having a lockout. If you care about the fans at all, you’ll get a deal worked out immediately!
Signed: Your Fans (we might not be for long if you let your greed take over)
