Mike's "I hate blogs" blog

Ok, so this entry is a week late, but how often do you get your picture taken with the Stanley Cup? I don't know how that is an excuse, but I typed it so it is not for you to question. Back to the story. Evidently John Deere is a big sponsor of the Carolina Hurricanes aka The 'Canes aka a hockey team in a state which hasn't seen naturally occurring ice since the last ice age. As a thank you for all of those mega-millions (likely spent on evenly distributing ice cubes on the floor of the hockey rink), the team brings the Cup to our offices. Now, this is a pretty raw deal if you ask me. First of all, whether The ‘Canes win or loose you still have to pay the same amount and secondly its not really the team that bring the cup but rather some low-level lackeys who evidently are too distracted by the shine coming off the damned thing to be able to tell the time correctly and end up arriving an hour late.
