Madagascar 2
Two Fridays ago, I had plans to go to the Air Force Academy hockey game with my friend Evelyn, from the physics department, and her brother-in-law. We figured we could buy tickets when we got there, but we were very very wrong. Apparently, they were giving away free pizza and hot dogs at the game. Also it was mullet night. Which meant that they were giving out mullets, or maybe you got extra perks and benefits if you had a mullet... I don't know, but what I do know is that we didn't get into the game. So, instead, we decided to go to the movies. But, when we got to the theater, the only thing that was playing that we wouldn't have to wait an hour or more for was Madagascar 2. So we said what the heck and bought tickets for Madagascar 2. It was a lot of 6- through 10-year-olds, a lot of parents of 6- through 10-year-olds, and us, wearing loads of Air Force Hockey paraphernalia, in the movie theater. After the movie, I kept on trying to joke that I couldn't follow the movie at all, because I never saw Madagascar 1. I stole the joke from Seinfeld. George said he hated Home Alone 2 because he never saw Home Alone 1, so he didn't know what was going on. They chuckled the first few times I told the joke, but after I said for about the sixth time, I think they were getting annoyed. Obviously they don't have my "unique" sense of humor. I thought that joke was gold. Gold, baby, gold!
