Only In My Dreams

So I'm having a lazy day in the BYB today which is making it hard for me to get motivated and actually write something funny. Thus, I just ripped off Hot Clicks and stole a link off their page to a countdown of 10 Fictional Sporting Events that one would like to attend. Click the link. It's pretty humorous.

10 Fictional Sporting Events We’d Pay Good Money to Attend

There are few things that compare with witnessing a person transform into a mythical creature, which is why it’s impossible to ignore the classic Teen Wolf. Perhaps there were games where he put up more points/was more comfortable in his “wolfness” to do more amazing things, but the first game has such a pure innocence (considering up until he emerges from the pile of bodies as a werewolf, no one thought something like this was even physically possible) that you’d be kicking yourself if you missed it. This game also didn’t highlight any of the bickering within the team dynamic that later games had; it simply had all the wonder of a werewolf playing in a high school game.

(Completely unrelated – can anyone explain what the principal is doing at the 1:21 mark in the clip above? At first we thought he was shielding the erection he got seeing upon seeing a werewolf, which is understandable. But after repeated viewings we’ve reconsidered. We think he’s protecting his genitals from a potential attack. Which – though slightly less creepy, still…it gives a weird vibe on his relationship with Scott. What was going on between those two that he thought Scott, upon transforming into a werewolf, would immediately attack his gens? Was Scott being molested? So many questions.



Of course the event they listed which I agreed with most was The Basketball Game Where Scott “Wolfs Out” in 'Teen Wolf' although the bowling finals from 'Kingpin' was a close second. I'm still not sure how I'd feel if I saw a man turn into a werewolf during a basketball game. The movie sure is good but I kind of agree with Gus' assessment from 'Psych' that if one of his high school friends turned into a werewolf he wouldn't just be okay with it because the guy was good at basketball. That's kind of how Louis felt in the movie too.
