Get this... there are a couple of US Representative races that still have not yet been decided. One of those races is for the US Rep for Columbus, OH. And they are delaying the start of the absentee and provisional ballot counting by a day [kansascity.com], so that everyone can watch the Ohio State-Michigan football game this Saturday.
*sigh*
That reminds me of a funny story. Back when I had only been living in Ohio for a year or two, I didn't really understand what it meant to live near a Big 10 school. So, I somehow end up in this bar on Halloween out in the boonies of Ohio. Tons of people are in costume. And this guy walks into the bar with this ENORMOUS, round, costume head. And a little too loudly, I asked, "What is he supposed to be?" At which point, everyone in the bar turned around to look at me like I was an alien (I wish I were exaggerating). My friend then proceeds to tell me that the costume was of Brutus Buckeye [wikipedia.org].
Conscious of the volume of my voice this time, I asked my friend, "Who the hell is Brutus Buckeye?"
It was at that point that I started to understand what a truly wacked out state that I live in is.
