Ramblings Of A Caffeinated Mind 020413.1

And THAT was then night that the lights went out in New Orleans
So there we were watching the Super Bowl.  It had been a boring game.  The Ravens were playing and the 49ers showed up but weren't playing.

Then Beyonce showed up.  She sang some songs.  She dance quite a bit.  And her Destinys Child partners had a reunion.  It was entertaining but nothing like Madonna's performance.

The game starts up again and The 49ers came out to play.  And then it happened.

I was sitting with friends at party and I noticed that the stadium looked dark.  Everyone else was ignoring the telly and I tried to tell everyone that something was going on but no one would listen.  Then folks realized that the game had stopped and something was really wrong.  The lights stayed off for 34 minutes but in the interim the attorneys at the party were all trying to figure out who was liable.

As of this evening, no one is accepting responsibility.  I have several theories:
1.) Someone paid a voodoo queen in New Orleans to put a hex on the game;
2.) Beyonce's equipment blew a circuit;
3.) Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams flipped the switch on their way out of the stadium

IF the game had been postponed, I suggested they evacuate everyone to Houston and play it at the Astrodome or Reliant Stadium.

I wondered if Mitch Landrieu was going to go Ray Nagin on the radio and scream for help on the radio?

So the lights came on and the game continued and it became a close game but when it was all said and done, the 49ers won.
