Minute To Win It

So about a month back, Anthony and I were keeping ourselves busy going through the ridiculously large amount of stuff that Anthony had saved from his childhood.  It had been sitting in Anthony's parents attic and we thought we should finally go through all of it.

One thing you should know about Anthony and I is that we are both seriously goofy.  Not many people would know that about us, since we tend to be more reserved in a group setting.  But around each other, we are a couple of goofballs.  So much so that both of us are convinced that had we not found each other, we would still be alone because no one else would understand our goofiness.  We are made for each other.  :)  (But that's enough of this mushy talk.)

Anyway, we were looking at all this stuff trying to determine if it was something we wanted to let the kids play with or give away (or throw away).  This little basketball net that I am modeling in the picture above, we had intended on keeping.  Our son seemed interested in it so we just figured he could have it to play with.  Then we were sitting there and thought, "Does this thing even stick to the wall anymore?".  Well, the answer would be no.  So it ended up in the trash pile.

After sitting there going through stuff for over an hour, I started to think that gouging my eye out with a fork sounded like more fun than doing what we were doing.  A bit over dramatic, I know, but that's how bored I was.  The only thing that kept me going was the desire to get all of the stuff out of the living room.

I was completely exhausted, and starting to get the case of the giggles, which is what happens to me when I get overtired.  Then this hilarious (at least to me) idea popped into me head.  I took the basketball hoop and stuck it to my forehead.  I began laughing uncontrollably, even though it really wasn't that funny.  I looked at Anthony and said, "Look!  It works!".

He smiled and replied, "If you leave that thing stuck to your forehead it's going to look like you have a giant hickie on your face."

He had a point, though I don't think that thing had good enough suction to leave any sort of a mark.  Regardless, I figured I had better remove the thing.  Before I did though, I had him snap a picture for memory's sake.

Then I got to thinking, I should submit this to Minute to Win It for a game.  Sometimes they do shows where a team or couple competes.  One person could stand with his back turned to the person with the hoop stuck to their forehead.  Then the person with their back turned can throw balls over their shoulder for the other person to catch in the hoop.  How cool would that be?  I know, I have way to much time on my hands if this is what I sit around thinking about.

Sincerely,
The Goofball
