Happy Throwback Thursday!
It’s Thursday. Therefore, it’s time to throw it back for some fun:
Perfect word play!
How I Met Your World Cup Results
The 2014 World Cup Schedule for June 19th:
Colombia v. Ivory Coast (Noon, ESPN)
Uruguay v. England (3:00 p.m., ESPN)
Japan v. Greece (6:00 p.m., ESPN)
In honor of Throwback Thursday, today’s post will focus on a pop culture reference from the past (well, the relatively recent past) instead of game analysis.
When teams I’m a major a fan of are playing during the workday, the way Ted Mosby prepared himself for the Super Bowl with noise cancelling headphones and vision-limiting glasses is surprisingly accurate in how I prepare myself for the afternoon. To some degree or another, it’s how I feel in trying to prevent myself from learning World Cup results.
Some of you may think that’s an extreme measure to take for a sporting event.
Point taken.
But do you want to know what’s even crazier? Seeing your favorite player and team score without knowing it’s going to happen.
And by crazy, I meant crazy awesome.
Happy Throwback Thursday!
Throwback Thursday is a great weekly tradition because it puts people in a good mood right before Friday and the weekend with a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
And on that note, have you ever wondered what some shows that aired in the 2000s would have looked and sounded like if they had debuted during the 1990s?
“You are in luck! There’s a town about 3 miles that way, I’m sure you’ll find a couple of guys there” (bonus points if you can guess that ’90s reference!).
Actually, it’s more like visiting Dwight at his beet farm lucky.
‘That’s what the ’90s said!’
What’s Up with the Space Above the Ground?
There are “Throwback Thursdays” and there are “Throwback Thursdays.”
Remember the time when street magician David Blaine levitated on the street?
No big deal, right?
Obviously, there’s a trick to this. One really needs to see it and experience it live, but it’s certainly entertaining and a surreal sight nonetheless.
Technically, is this kind of magic an ancient throwback to the past or a pioneering nod to the future of illusions for the 21st century?
Either way, at least we know today is Thursday.
No trick there.
