i just read this fun little article on the ny jets and i must say that i am very proud that i picked them as my favorite football team in 2006. go jets mets nets! jets for the super bowl!

well, we made it!

due to that storm i just showed you, it took me 4 hours to get to the mets game last night, all for some quality melton hang time with joel's better third, melissa. here's how i did it:

NJ to QNS:

one car ride, one NJT bus ride, one NJT train ride, one PATH train ride, two MTA subway rides, three laps around queensboro plaza leading to one failed attempt at an MTA bus ride, one more long local subway ride, walk to stadium. 

 it took melissa like 2 hours to get there from about 5 miles away.

but we made it!

of course, the first stop was shake shack, to eat those stressful tornado feelings. melissa went off to get us a couple stiff light beers.

made it to our seats with beers and burgers in hand in time to catch the last 3 innings!

the place was totally packed despite the severe weather. jk, it wasn't.

OH! and jicyww, melissa and i caused a us open-style fight when we tried to sit in our correct seats. this woman said she needed them for her children. there were easily 4 empty seats on either side of her, and my favorite part was when melissa said "well, how many more seats to do you need?" then this drunk dude tried to stand up for us by yelling at the woman, to which she replied in a delightful queens accent "and who tha fuck do you think you aaahhhh?!?!" then she went and got security and tried to get him thrown out while her husband nicely asked him not to call his wife "a fucking bitch". i did yell out "get it on youtube" but unfortunately, i didn't actually get it on youtube...

as melissa said, it was so horrible it was fun! next time, we'll stick with the yankees! go vols!

ctm.

i don't pretend to know the quality of the mets team, but this is a good burn. thx joey tony.

what are you doing tonight?

according to the new york times, criminals wear yankees hats more frequently than other teams' hats:


A curious phenomenon has emerged at the intersection of fashion, sports and crime: dozens of men and women who have robbed, beaten, stabbed and shot at their fellow New Yorkers have done so while wearing Yankees caps or clothing.

Criminologists, sports marketing analysts, consumer psychologists and Yankees fans have developed their own theories, with some attributing the trend to the popularity of the caps among gangsta rappers and others wondering whether criminals are identifying with the team’s aura of money, power and success.

go yankees!!

on a related note, melissa is in new york, and she's taking me to a mets game tonight! i'm going to root against them most likely, as i am a devoted yankees fan. it's because of their aura of money, power, and success. though, i'm excited to visit the new citifield. i've heard its real nice, it even has a shake shack! we're planning on having 3 or 4 dinners, so if anyone has any recommendations, let 'em fly.

after the game, we will buy some yankees gear and rob a chase bank or two.
