Isolation Thought

Randomness from today's Browns home game:

My Dad was today's special guest. When we were losing and looked in bad shape, he invoked the 50 cents off the price of the ticket discount for every point we were behind.
Again, today's defense was outstanding. We got to see Kenard Lang dance again.
They must have sprayed Fabreze under the Shoreway, no smells.
Garcia and the offense was adequate, but no interceptions. Although, he committed one of the worst intentional grounding penalties I've seen.
Cleveland Browns Stadium northwest escalator worked for the first time this year.
"Penalty marker on the field of play." was uttered more than Bush's "hard work" from the debate.
Winslow's an injured playa, dude.
Much more of a sedate crowd in Section 345 today. No problems. Now about that shirtless guy in 347 who resembled Haystacks Calhoun.
Best line from me (Actually this was from the Springsteen show on Saturday night, responding to the comment: "Gee, it's only after the fifth song, and Bruce is already soaking wet."): "So are 75% of the women in the audience."
Best line by a random (by a little kid, passing a Kerry booster on West 3rd): "Kerry sucks."
Best new nameplate on a #2 jersey: OUCH
Best nameplate on a Browns jersey: #04 Candavisin (Do you get it? I knew you would.)
Oddest Browns jersey: #93 Ball.
No concessions were purchased nor harmed during the game.
Don't hate me because I paid for parking.
Asinine halftime contest is still there. But the Ohio State band was there and did some Script Ohios, which is always cool.
The Brownie has made his return on t-shirts without peeing.
Beggar solicitations: 2.
More boas today on the ladies and one guy. I don't get it.
Bad high school cheerleading.
Not so many drunks, but there were 2 ejections today.
The sing-along from Dave and Buster's. The song: "Brown Eyed Girl". Of course, I sang. We were laughing and running, skipping and a jumping. And, of course, the crowd snored.
I've watched football for many years. It's beyond comprehension that we won today's game, 17-13.

Now for the Vote for Change Tour. Setlists are here. Heard a few Bright Eyes songs from the concourse. Nothing special. Michael Stipe of R.E.M. has become quite the entertainer ("We're R.E.M. and we approve this concert.") He wore a white suit from the Good Humor line. He inspired me. When I saw his earplugs, it inspired me to wear mine. He seemed like he was having a great time and actually forgot the words to "Man on the Moon". John Fogerty ripped through a very enthusiastic set of 5 songs. The E Street Band is a different story and you really can't be critical, because it's a cult that goes to these shows. But there is definitely something wrong with Clarence Clemons. He has a chair now to rest, and was not featured very much at all. I may have missed something, but the guy has to be ill. I see Little Steven share the mike with The Boss, and all I think about is garlic. Anyhow, Bruce got to do his preacher act during "Mary's Place", and I was trying to channel preachers for him to end the damn song already. Show lasted from 7:30 until Midnight. Bright Eyes: 30 minutes. R.E.M.: 60 minutes. The E Street Band (including Fogerty): 120 minutes.
