Some sports content--first half of the post.

Someone (a Calgary fan, I believe) on the hockey community on livejournal is just aghast at the fact that Sharks fans booed their team during a horrible outing in game 2. She just can't understand why people would ever boo a team that they love. No matter how many people try to explain it to her, she's just genuinely puzzled and taken aback. The impression she gave was that fans of her team NEVER boo at all. Why would they boo their heroes?
I'd like to put this one to rest please, kthxbye. Go and watch the replay of the Patty Marleau goal (goal number four in the game), and listen very carefully after it's scored--there are quite a number of people booing there, after the puck went into the net.
Please to be shutting up about how Sharks fans suck because they boo their team now, okay, because it's not only us. Got it? Thanks.

Saturday night was the monthly dinner, and much fun was had by all. We went to Outback, since it was right across from this place called the Putting Edge, a glow in the dark minigolf venue. Dinner was pretty good, there was much good conversation to be had, but it was the minigolf that won the night, I think. The holes would probably not be quite as challenging on a course that's lit by something other than black light, but the glow in the dark thing makes it hard! It's impossible to tell where there's a slope, unless you walk the course beforehand. All in all, though, it was a lot of fun, and we all did pretty damn well, for the most part. I'd love to go back again.
My only gripe is the fact that it was fucking HOT in there. Gah. Turn on the AC, please! :)
