Lions draft day "party"

Computer Boy and I were downtown today and while down there decided to get some lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. As it turned out, one of the local sports radio stations was broadcasting live from there and having a rip-roaring Lions Draft Day Party.

There were not more than 20 people there at the time; only 2 of which were wearing Lions' gear. The rest of the patrons seemed to be eating, watching videos* on the various big screens or admiring the rock & roll paraphernalia on the walls. TANGENT ALERT (By the way, the Hard Rock Cafe is obviously a "for profit" business so why do many of plaques next to the guitars etc on the wall say the stuff was donated. Donated for a fee? Otherwise, why would you "donate" something to somebody who is going to use it to make money?) END OF TANGENT. That is what you get when you finish "goose egg and sixteen". Two people at your party.

*I know that I am about 25 years late on this but that "How Soon is Now" video by The Smiths with the billowing smokestacks and hazy concert/club footage is pretty cool.
