Friday, December 25th, 2009THE VOICE checks in with his weekend sport picks… but first…
ECONOMIC OUTRAGE! APPARENTLY the economy is worse than I thought. I got up this morning to go get my coffee and every business in my neighborhood was closed. Locked up and dark. Even the most of the 24 hour places had no hours this morning. I drove to Costco and I thought… YES!… the parking lot is almost empty, I won’t have to wait in line… and… it was closed, too. Supermarkets, the mall… everything. I didn’t realize things had gotten that bad. Empty parking lots everywhere and no signs of anyone. A ghost town. Reminded me of what Krispy Kreme has looked like for the past six months.
Because I was afraid of panic and anarchy, I called a few friends to see if I could borrow their dry foods, cans of soup, and guns before they found out the world had gone bust. The sounds of bedlam on the other end of the phone made me think I was too late… but then I found out all that noise was just the kids busting ornaments and ripping open presents and the dog had to go out. Merry Christmas. Now I have to cancel my department store looting spree this afternoon. Or maybe not.
