Admittedly, few things in life are guaranteed: death, taxes and another Seattle Mariners 100-loss season. However, Seattle Storm fans anticipate their home team capturing the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) championship this evening in Atlanta. The Storm is ahead 2-0 in the series and looking for a sweep in the Peach State.
Somebody in this town needs to win a title.
Storm fan Damager (an alias) has ordered his season tickets for the 2011 season. Damager attended the Storm game Tuesday night reports that several referee calls against Seattle were "questionably bad. When the alleged foul was replayed on StormVision (the Jumbotron screen hanging above the court), the true badness of these calls was replayed multiple times life-size for the crowd of 15,000-plus to jeer at." An angry crowd switched from choruses of "DE-FENSE!" to "NEW-REFS!"
A fan created "the best fan-made sign I've ever seen" that read 'Even Chuck Norris is afraid of Lauren Jackson.' The fan won a box of doughnuts."
According to Damager, if presented with a box of doughnuts, his pooch Clarence the Retriever AK9 (another alias) would "eat the frosting off the top of all of them and then get to work on whatever's left until: 1) It gets too boring, 2) He runs out of water, or 3) He gets tired to chew any longer." Clarence once ate around the crust of a freshly baked loaf of challah -- a braided Jewish egg bread that requires three different rising periods -- and left only the chewy middle as evidence of his feat.
If you want to satisfy your canine's craving for doughnuts, local Top Pot has created a commemorative confection in honor of the WNBA team... which is all good unless the doughnuts are frosted with chocolate. In which case, it's an old-fashioned for Fido. Boring, yes... but that's a given in life and preferable to caffeine poisoning.
Go, Storm.
ESPN2 airs Game 3 of the NBA Championship at 5 pm.
