What is the proper way to react when you spill a drink on your pants in a social setting? I'm not exactly sure, though I don't think that shouting "I didn't wet my pants!" is the #1 choice on the Family Feud board. Also, here's a tip: if you're at a party and want to sit outside and all the seats are taking, tell the group that "the girls inside are flashing their boobs." There should be plenty of chairs available right after that. Just a suggestion.
In a related note, the party last night was a fun time. A little mystery punch topped off with some Malibu and you're good to go. I also had the chance to try some "Heluva Good" chip dip, which lived up to its name. Tasty.
Right now the Spurs are trying to close out the Nets in Game 6 of their NBA Finals Series. Go San Antonio! Here's hoping the Spurs win the title tonight, sending the under-appreciated David Robinson into the sunset as a champ (on his home court, no less) and ensuring that they won't feel the need to go after Jason Kidd in the post-season. Remember, Kidd will be on the wrong side of 40 well before Spurs point guard Tony Parker hits his 30th birthday.
Speaking of basketball, I saw the movie
Hoosiers on
Showtime tonight. What a classic film. One of the most fun career highlights for me in TV was getting to cover Indiana high school basketball at
WEHT. Seriously. There's nothing quite like Indiana hoops. And I'm with ESPN Page 2's
Bill Simmons in hoping that a "Director's Cut" of Hoosiers will be released someday on DVD.
Click here to bug MGM about making that happen (to add the deleted scenes that explain a couple of the strange parts of the movie, like Buddy inexplicably returning to the team without explanation)...
