Ed and I went to tonight's Thunder game. This was only the second time I've ever been to a professional basketball game, and I have to say that the first game a few months ago was more enjoyable than the second. Tonight, the refs stopped the game so often, it was as though somebody had a big remote control somewhere and kept hitting "pause." :oP But Jennifer, Andy, and Joel were there, so we made up in silly fun-ness for what the game lacked in continuous excitement. ;o) And I really enjoyed the extreme dunking guys during halftime!
On the way back our cars after the game, Jennifer and I spotted something funny-odd. In the sidewalk were two rectangular metal plates, about the size of a regular sheet of paper. Embossed on both plates was the following:
NO TRESPASSING
ECLIPSE BLOW-OFF
Quoi? How could anybody trespass beneath the sidewalk? The plates weren't really large enough to allow access to any adult human with a pelvis and collar bones. And "eclipse blow-off"? I'm assuming it's not a "Twilight" reference. ;o) Do the plates blow off the sidewalk if there's an eclipse? Are we supposed to blow off the eclipse if one happens?
I'm having visions of little metal plates all over the city, exploding into the air at the first sign of the moon's edging over into the sun's territory.
This world is not short on oddities.

I'm very curious about the plates. I tried to google it, but it just turned up a list of porn sites.
I'm proud that you acknowledged that sports exist. This is a big step for you.
Alisha: Oh dear. Well, I'm fairly certain the City of Oklahoma isn't intentionally referencing porn. Although with the state of society nowadays, who knows? ;o)
Mgam: It's a very big step. And a scary one. I might have fallen and scraped my chin, and then where would I be?
