I got to see a real Olympic gold medal tonight! Seimone Augustus of the US Women’s Basketball team (and Minnesota Lynx) was just arriving home from Beijing and was showing off her medal for the cameras.
Here’s my blurry cell phone camera picture of the excitement (imaging hearing “USA! USA! USA!” in the background). You can tell that’s a gold metal, right?
On an unrelated subject, the low is supposed to be 48F here in Minneapolis tonight!
Some fans threatened to never attend another Saints baseball game over the tasteless souvenir that will be given away at the game. They are giving away “bobblefoot” stalls to commemorate both National Tap Dance Day and the Senator Larry Craig incident at the MSP airport last year. WCCO gets reactions from fans.
I can certainly understand why parents would be upset – how do they explain this to their kids? It’s not very family-friendly entertainment.
ST. PAUL, MN (May 21, 2008) – Some of the most famous dance halls in the country include Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Fox Theater in Detroit and now the list includes a restroom at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. With so much fanfare around dancing, the St. Paul Saints will honor “tappers” during National Tap Dance Day.
During the Sunday, May 25 game the first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a bobblefoot. The design is a bathroom stall, with a foot that peaks out of the bottom and “taps” up and down. The day coincides with National Tap Dance Day.
While many people tap their foot because they are impatient, others may do it because they are nervous. It doesn’t matter if your tapping style is done with a “wide stance” or is used as some sort of code, the Saints are asking all fans to tap to their heart’s content on May 25.
The stalls are already popping up on eBay:
