The Fight Party that never was
Over the weekend was The Fight. Not that I follow boxing or anything, but it’s kind of hard to go about your day without hearing about it. It seems to be as good as the Superbowl in terms of an excuse to party. Last Thursday my sweety informs me…
Her: Oh by the way, my family is coming over this weekend to watch the fight.
Me: Oh really? Which ones? (She’s got 3 siblings in the area, each with their own families.)
Her: All of them. My brother got in a fight with DevilWoman. So they won’t be watching it at her house anymore.
Me: Oh. Okay. Um… what channel is it on?
Her: It’s on Pay Per View. My brother said he’ll pay for it.
Me: That’s cool… only… um, we don’t have Pay Per View.
We have analog cable instead of digital, and Time Warner moved all the good channels off analog so more people would switch to digital. Thus we have no Pay Per View and no Fight. But all was not lost. We found out that it was one of her niece’s (she has soooo many!) birthday, so it turned into a birthday party instead. With really gross cake.
But I got to play lots of video games, so it was all good.
