Murphy's Law

[malkavman]

Murphy's Law of sporting events: If you recorded the big game, someone you know will always come over, blurt out the outcome, and leave, as though it was their job to ruin your day.

Newton's modified third law: For every action, there should be an equal an opposite reaction. Like getting punched in the throat.

I threatened to rip off his head and sodomize him with it.

A valid and well deserved threat.

I once saw the end of a game and was completely thrilled by the ending score, and suprised because it seemed the other team had it completely bagged, and so i thought, "my friend Tim should hear me gloat, this would be great."

So I called over to Tim's, he said "hello" and I said "Whee, Go Texas!" and laughed, and there was a long pause, after which he said, "We're watching it on Tivo." and I said, "oh, sorry."

People should not answer their phones if they are watching a game on Tivo.

I was not even afforded the chance to not answer, or even to tell him I had not seen it. The topic of conversation was nowhere NEAR sports, and he just blurted it out. I never wanted something karmically bad to happen to someone in my life.

heh. Well as long as you dont inflict that badness, your karma should be mostly ok...

No, I just punched the coffee table. He left after that, probably thinking he was next.
