Call me juvenile, but I snicker like a kindergartener every time I hear this clip of our local news anchorwoman's on-air episode of potty mouth.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I have a feeling Sue Simmons made a lot of new fans that night.
And speaking of juvenile, one of the highlights of yesterday's NYU graduation ceremony at Yankee Stadium (congrats to my boyfriend, who donned his cap and gown proudly--photos to come) was the spontaneous stunt attempted by this kid.
He made it from far right field almost to home base before being tackled by not one, not two, but SIX security guards. Six burly he-man tackling this gleeful, skinny white kid to the ground. For running across the field, arms in the air. It was excessive, no doubt. But if their goal was to dissuade other happy grads from trying a similar stunt, well, mission accomplished!
Still, it was giddy fun to watch from the stands and the newly-minted NYU grad (assuming they don't revoke his degree!) has a cool story to tell his grandkids.
More on the wild stunt here and here.
And, not to ruin the mood, but I was pleased that the NYU ceremony began with a moment of silence for the victims in Myanmar and China. My heart aches for what they are going through.
