Oh, to be a Towel Boy
Last night James and I went to a Blazers game (which was marvelous, by the way. They were down by over 20 points, then pulled ahead and won by 1 point in the last 5 seconds. Awesome.) and I decided that being a towel boy is hilarious.These kids are about 14 years old, and they sop up sweat for fun. The funny part is watching them watch the players. They're so focused! You can see their little brains (sorry guys, I must assume there's SOMETHING going wrong in there) trying to anticipate just where, when, and how much sweat will fall. I pity them, really. These guys will probably grow up to be the dudes with the unfortunate job of cleaning up the "Viewing Room" at porn stores. Blech.
On the subjects of "funny" and "sports", I'd like to give a shout out to my favorite funny sport: Curling. Its the best sport around, let alone the best sport to watch during the Winter Olympics. I can't believe I have to wait over 3 years to see it again. This makes me sad.
"KEEP SWEEPING!!!!!!!"
UPDATE: It has recently been brought to my attention that Jon Powell was, in fact, a towel boy in college. I have been assured that he does NOT, however, work for a porn store.
Riiiiggggght.............

I still think it's funny that you and James have become sports fans. We should go to a hockey game sometime. We need to drink lots of beer and yell obsceneties (sp?) at the refs. It's a good and violent sport.
Oh, and towel boys? One step funnier than ball boys at tennis games.
I second the hockey motion. And the beer motion. I've been telling James we need to go see some hockey for a while now.
And we're not sports fans in the sense that we're lame, you see. We're cool sports fans. There's a HUGE difference.
So I have to admit.... Jon was a towel boy... but I promise he does not clean porn stores (that I am aware of). I do find it very funny though - I read him your blog and he said - NO NO NO it wasn't like that.... (wait for it.....) he said I was a part of the team!!! :) I married a towel boy!!! :) I don't know what's worse - him being one or me marrying one!!! :) Don't worry Jon I still love you more than anything in this world!!
Oh and Curling... Jon wants to join a curling team - they have them in Portland - we should all join - or atleast pretend to support his team (if he does join one). :) Oh I love you Jon - you are a very funny little man!!
Hockey... we're there!!! Beer - thank you!!
Oh and sports fans are sports fans.... it's a whole new breed of people you've joined - welcome!! :)

I would LOVE to watch curling. Don't know if I'd want to play it though... I don't know if my dignity would ever recover.
And how can you be SURE he doesn't clean porn stores.
And yes, I'm sure he really WAS part of the team.... yes....
Just kidding. Or am I???
Okay I seriously didn't mean to post that comment 3 times - I don't know how that happened! I swear to you I only wanted to get that message out once - I mean seriously I was admitting that my husband - the man I am spending the rest of my life with - is not only a curling fan but that he was once a towel boy (part of the team)..... :) Oh gosh he's a nerd - I know !!!
I love how you have the throw in the (part of the team) each time. I'm sure that's his doing....
I would hate for him to read these and think that I was "making fun of him".... teehee teehee!! :) Oh who am I kidding - I make fun of him all day long to his face :)
And rightfully so, it is the duty of every girl with a man in her life.
