OT: Funny stuff regarding Giants/Packers game

Cliff Levingston couldn't find a better place to post this, be it the General Board, Packers board or Giants board. Maybe he'll end up posting it in those places as well, but...

Cliff Levingston didn't get to see the whole game cause he was waiting for a flight from Ft. Myers to Chicago, returning home from a short trip. While he was waiting for the flight in the airport, he observed the game in the airport bar where just about everyone else in the terminal was.

There was a flight going to Milwaukee at 8:25 ET so there were plenty of Packer fans watching, cheering for every little positive play they had. Most notably, there was a couple at the bar, including a fat chick wearing a pink A.J. Hawk jersey at the bar, being about as loud and obnoxious as possible.

Cliff Levingston made a comment to his uncle that "maybe some of these Packer fans are stupid enough to miss their flight." ...foreshadowing

Since Cliff Levingston's flight wasn't until 9:38 ET, he had more time to watch the game. He decided to check the status of the flight at the gate around 9 ET, a little before the 3rd quarter was over. Sure enough, the same fat Packer fan fat girl and her boyfriend/husband were standing at the gate that the Milwaukee flight left from a whole 30 minutes earlier, looking around, puzzled, with despair in their eyes. The poor girl even started to pout, saying at one point, loudly, in frustration "what the hell are we supposed to do now?!" Cliff Levingston was very tempted to go over to her at that point and say "you were supposed to remember that you're in an airport awaiting a flight, not in a bar to watch the Packer game while clapping and screaming annoyingly for a a Ryan Grant 1 yard run... oh, and by the way, the Packers are down 3." ...then laugh and skip away.

Not that one should laugh at another's mis-fortune, but honestly, when you're that stupid, you deserve be laughed at. Cliff Levingston can only imagine that they watched the rest of the game at that bar, and as a result, missed their flight home to watch their beloved Packers lose.

That would be a crappy plane ride home. The night we lossed the Super Bowl I was shell-shocked even though I knew we would probably lose.

I slipped into a catatonic state, personally. I went back to my dorm room and watched Little Miss Sunshine to try and make myself happy, since that movie makes me happy, but I just wanted to snort heroin and cut my wrists. Then the next day I had to walk around campus and interact with people who knew I was a Bears fan, and I knew they were Packer fans.

That week sucked.
