tomorrows the Super Bowl... and there's going to be a lot of this:


On a serious note last year I lost a ton of money on my bets and started wallowing in gambling loss self pity... but an hour after the game an earthquake hit the motherland and it was reported that "only 30+" died. I figured it wasn't that big of a deal.
I remember posting about being bummed about the pats losing online and then reading texts/facebook/twitter updates about that earthquake... my good friend former housemate's mother was one of the 30 casualties of the earthquake. So tragic and sad she died - it really brought perspective to a stupid football game.
