Besmirching Squirrels: Bigger Upset

Bigger Upset

I can't decide which is the bigger upset:

Eli Manning over Tom Brady in Super Bowl XLII

Daniel-san over the Cobra Kai in the "Karate Kid"

I am going to have to go with Eli Manning. Daniel-san's victory was impressive, but because he was able to (somehow) get Elisabeth Shue interested in him, nothing seems impossible for him.

Eli's victory was much more unexpected.

Congrats to the NY Giants!

Last time I was carded:

July 27, 2013

Fulton Brewery

Minneapolis, MN

I was meeting friends out. I cam in with one younger friend, who got carded, then me. I asked if they carded everyone. He said no, "only people I think could be in their 20's". Oh happy day!

Smoky Mountain Brewery
Knoville, TN

I was traveling for work, and I was told this was a good brewpub. The food was okay, the beer was good, but the highlight was getting carded and getting a "I thought you could be close enough to check, hon." Yep, sometimes I miss living in the South.

Minnesota State Fair
St. Paul, MN

I was carded getting beer before the Weezer show. I didn't ask, but I thought they were carding everyone, until my friend Anne (who is younger than me) didn't get carded. It's a bit grey (like me), but I am going to say this one counts.

Tavern on France
Edina, MN

Was carded by the waitress before going to see "Tron: Legacy" on opening night (judge me if you must; I don't care). I checked to see if she carded everyone; she said she thought I could have been close. The streak continues....

Block E
Minneapolis, MN

I asked and I was told that she was not checking everyone. She thought I could be close to 21, but I think she was being nice. It was Friday and I think she read the stress, and I think she was doing this to be nice.
