snare

While I was at the Islanders game the other night they had some girls shooting T-shirts into the crowd during an intermission. We were sitting right on the glass behind the benches and there was a bunch of kids losing their shit trying to get the attention of the girls, so they would then shoot a shirt in their direction, since it would involve aiming the shirt bazooka almost straight up in the air in order to make sure the garment landed in the gaggle of jazzed up children. Finally they blast a shirt just over the glass and it begins to descend, and the kids begin freaking and jockeying for position, then at about the 7 ft mark a larger hand comes into the frame, the hand of a 30 something male, who snatches the shirt bomb before it even enters the atmosphere of the kid's reach. This dude who looked like a Gamorrean Guard was celebrating a little to hard for having snatched a cheap white t-shirt that probably featured a sponsor logo 5 times as big as the Islander logo from the clutches of some youngsters. Cut to a few minutes later and the dude is explaining to his girlfriend "I grabbed it out of the air, not from a kid's hand". Oh this guy must be a lawyer or something. Shirt or no shirt the sucker in question must live out his days with that pig nose he was supplied in the womb. His lady also didn't seem to be interested in his reasons for going free safety(football reference) on some tikes. Enjoy that free shirt bro. Here's to hoping you can figure out how to act like a human at least in public.
