Who's going to win tonight?

Alright, I was walking on campus to go get my cap & gown for graduation on Friday. I'm wearing my Philadelphia Flyers jersey because it's hockey playoff season and because the Flyers have a game tonight. I'm walking down the foot-bridge when some random business guy on a cell phone starts saying, "Habs or Flyers? Who's going to win tonight, Habs or Flyers? C'mon."
Seriously? I'm wearing a jersey of one of the two teams, does he really think I'm going to pick the Canadiens if I'm wearing a Flyers jersey? And yes, I know rooting for a team to win and thinking they're going to win are different, but this is the playoffs. You pick your team to win no matter what.
I pointed this out to him of course, told him I'm obviously rooting for Philly.

Game time in just under 2 hours. Sweeeet.

"If I had to wait seven years for my chance to go out and win it all, win the Stanley Cup, then I'm willing to wait seven years. That's my goal, to win the Stanley Cup." - Martin Biron

Did the wolf mean to eat the bird? (Flashback)

So most of my posts should be current stories of stupidity, but because I had just started this today, I figure I'll start with a flashback story.


A group of us were hanging out, having some beers, some of us (Jared) more than others (everyone else), and watching some TV. This was probably during football season, but I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, the following commercial comes on TV:



This is where Jared comes up with a purely brilliant question: "Do you think that the wolf meant to eat the bird?"

Sadly, this was a serious question.

My friend Matt has the beautiful response of, "Did you seriously just ask if the CGI wolf ate the bird on purpose??" At this point, Jared realized his stupidity and we all laughed.

Sadly, I have since reviewed the commercial. Upon review, you can see that the wolf had a clear, eating-motion before the bird entered his mouth, proving that it was not an accident.
