The situation was dire. Many had gathered at Lindsey's abode last Saturday in anticipation of watching the Red Wings crush the Pittsburgh Penguins in game 4 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The TV was turned on and the audience was waiting with bated breath for the game to begin when suddenly (horrors!) the cable went out! The evil cable company had chosen this exact time for their equipment to fail because it would do the most damage to the psyche of Michigan hockey fans. Alas, it seemed as if the villain would triumph and Lindsey would go crazy with rage and nervousness!!!
However, I would not allow this injustice to persist. I immediately leapt into action, sped home, and returned with the one item that could overcome this dastardly plot: rabbit ears! My disinclination toward television technology had saved the day, and all were able to enjoy the hockey game because of my quick and brave actions. I like to think I contributed directly to the Wings' glorious victory. I truly am a hero!

Oh Todd. If only I had heard of this before Game night. Why, I would have SHOWERED you in chocolate! Clearly the Wings would have failed in their Stanley Cup bid had it not been for your heroics!
...'cept didn't they *lose* that game?
All hail the mighty rabbit ears!

Alas, Todd erred in his original post. It was actually game 4 when these dramatic events occurred. I will fix it. ;)
