Billi Pod Was A Total Couch-Potato Yesterday

Good morning everyone.

CONGRATULATIONS (and not kidding) to all of my FSU friends out there in the vast hinterlands for an amazing comeback win (18-14) yesterday afternoon over Notre Dame in The Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando.

It was a very exciting game to watch and the ‘Noles came back from a 14-point second-half deficit.

The victory was FSU’s fourth consecutive bowl win, which is pretty awesome.

Yes, Billi Pod was a total college football couch-potato yesterday, including the Baylor/Washington game in the Alamo Bowl that didn’t end until after midnight.

In this highest scoring bowl game in history Baylor beat Washington 67-56.

Yes, I know ... this was another evening spent in front of the tube in the cozy confines of PHC, but ... remember ... Billi Pod has previously, on numerous occasions, admitted/confessed to being a huge college football fan, regardless of who is playing whom.

Tonight’s entertainment event is ...

8:00==>HOW THE WORLD BEGAN - “A high school biology teacher leaves Manhattan for Kansas and becomes engulfed in controversy over an offhand comment about the origins of the universe.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

This show is in very early previews and is playing at a theatre on my block.

Actually, the theatre is directly underneath my building. I walk out my door, walk 20 feet and there is the theatre. Can't beat that.

On to other things and stuff ... like ...

In Thursday’s New York Times there was an article called: “The 75 Things New Yorkers Talked About in 2011.” To give you a flavor from the article, this is 5 "topics" I selected at random:

1. The G.O.P. debates. The best reality TV show not on Bravo.

12. Steve Jobs. Fittingly, many people learned the news of his death on their iPhones.

24. Keith Olbermann leaves MSNBC to go to Current TV, is never heard from again.

45. The heat wave in July. The hurricane in August. The blizzard in October. Mother Nature must be awfully angry about something.

61. “The Book of Mormon.” Never has blasphemy been so hilarious.

Well, my loyal and faithful readers, as much as Billi Pod admires and respects The New York Times, in this instance they are again 110% wrong because the truth is, there are only 5 things REAL New Yorkers ever talk about, and, as Billi Pod posted last year in response to a similar article, they are ... tada ...

1. How much better New York used to be.

2. How much better New York is than anywhere else.

3. Rent.

4. Food.

5. Yankees vs. Mets.

Once again, you are so very welcum.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
