on the most important playoff game OF ALL TIME!!!!

so here we have the most important game of the season this weekend. Win or go home. Who’s coming over to to watch it? I was figuring against making breakfast since the game isn’t til late (6:30), but should we pick up any other refreshments? Do people want to do dinner. Maybe a potluck? (woah, its been a long time since I did a pot luck dinner). Anyway, who’s up for it?

    I can’t believe you said “win or go home.” I think a man of your intellect should be striving to create new and better sports clichés. Prevail or prevaricate! No, that sucks… see? We the people need help!

      I’m all about tradition, yo. Haven’t you figured that out by now? New slogans, like free agency will ruin the goddamn game.

        yeah, i veto the phrase ’cause we already *are* at home

          damn you kids and your “semantics!” If I wanted someone to learn me some grammar, I would have gone to school and majored in english.

        What do you mean “will?”

          oh… sorry… I mean, that in all the ways in which free agency ruined the goddamn game, new slogans will make it worse. I am by no means trying to imply that free agency did not ruin the goddamn game.

            Oh, I see. Ok. For a minute there I was afraid you’d taken a bump on the head. I took a bump on the head yesterday, perhaps that’s why i misunderstood.

            ooh… does this mean that we can bonk you over the head again to fix it? that always works in the cartoons!

    i volunteer Max and my services for the picking up of food on the way over. said food can be from Sq’Hill or Southside. or possibly Oakland Mad Mex. (they have various “deals” as well as their usual menu, except who suggests 6 people divide up 21 wings as an appetizer?)

    we may need to preorder by at least Sunday morning if not Saturday for the last option. and in any case, it’ll probably make Max and me happy to order no later than 5 and eat dinner early so as not to have to worry about missing the start of the game.

    i was going to say i enjoyed Qdobo also, but that makes it sound like i’m trying to influence the decision to (pseudo)mexican food, which i’m not at all. also happy to do pot luck (but will probably bring bean dip, heheheh)

      All this assumes, of course, that we can make it up that damn hill in all the snowy icy blizzardness.

      I just heard a Boston radio guy on 970 predicting a patriots win, saying that Pittsburgh is a nice little city with a nice little team and a nice little quarterback and a nice little handkerchief they like to wave around.

        your car is a wuss… I make it up and down the hill all the time…

        anyway… go stillers and all… but the boston guy’s quote is kinda funny.

          he was quite amusing actually. On crack, but quite amusing.

            crackheads are often amusing…

      that dozen burrito special actually sounds awesome. But I don’t know who would want what. Maybe contact Steph to find out exactly who is coming and stuff. She has done a lot more of the organizing than I have. (The thought that I have put into this is pretty much limited to the post you are now reading).

    heh, I’ll be at a house on Arlington Court to watch the game, actually.

    (Arlington Court is right by the 18th Ave and Arlington Ave intersection, across from the Sunoco station.)

      well, you guys could always come over here to watch… its only a staggering block away.

      1. January 22, 2005 at 7:57 am

        In this cold, that’s a lot!

        Nah, they get about a dozen people, so I doubt you’d want to combine.

          whichever. Just thought I’d make the offer. Enjoy the game.

    I’m going to be a bit too sick to make it over tomorrow. Besides, the games I’ve watched at home this year were much less nerve wracking wins.

      there have been plenty nerve wracking games that you watched at home. Also, weren’t you at home for like the only game we lost this year?

      1. January 22, 2005 at 4:40 pm

        Actually, I was at PNC park for the Mets-Pirates game during this season’s only loss. I can assure you I won’t being going there tomorrow.

        And there were no games this season remotely as tense as last week’s.

          well, I acknowledge that this was the tensest game. I’m just saying that there were other tense games as well. The earlier game with the Jets was no picnic.
