Wow. WNBA fucking rocked.

Unlike Sunday's game, the score was neck and neck through the first half. But Seattle Storm really took off running during the second half, with MVP Betty Lennox pounding the court and racking up points. I seriously need a picture of Lauren Jackson's rawr face after getting fouled unfairly and then immediately scoring.

We shrieked ourselves hoarse and our hands were raw by the end of the game. It was very exciting. We lamented our lack of bang-y thingies. Those plastic sticks that fans beat together to make noise.

Storm won by a safe margin of 74-60.

Walking back to the parking lot amid hysterical, jubilant fans, I pointed out a woman carrying a bunch of the bang-y thingies.

Me: I need the bang-y thingies. Not just during games. But in my personal life.
Sarah: Uh huh.
Me: Oooo. I would be such a menace!
Sarah: You're a menace without them.
Me: *cackle*

I suggested Sarah knock the woman down and give me the opportunity to make off with some bang-y thingies. Sarah declined and came up with the novel concept that I ask the woman if I could have some. So I timidly approached the woman and asked if they were for sale. She said, "No. But here, have a set." She handed me two shiny plastic bang-y thingies as I gaped over my sudden, unexpected fortune.

I proceeded to annoy the hell out of everyone, while careful to hide from Sarah's baleful gaze and the potential threat of having bang-y thingies taken away from me and tossed summarily into traffic.

Oh my god. It's fucking 5:30am and I have to be at work at 10am. I am going to be fucked up tomorrow. Whee!

FYI, they're called "thundersticks". I think I saved a set that I got in Oakland at an A's game. The A's are so poor, in the middle of the season they were giving away stuff that was supposed to be given away at the Japan series the M's were supposed to have with them. Yeah, they're fun stuff.

Oooo. Thundersticks. That's a very exciting name.

Did you ever go see I <3 Huckabees? Did you kiss Jude Law for me?
