Tonight was the first time in my 19 years as a Kings fan that I brought a sign to a game. I made one sign that read, "KOPITASTIC" since whenever Kopitar does anything amazing I say, "Kopitastic!". The other sign I made was initially going to read, "JACK > phaneuf" but I had to change my idea since Staples Center only allows signs equal to or smaller than 11"x17" and I wanted to get the sign all on one line. Instead, I went for "KILL JACK KILL" and quite frankly, the sign looked damn good. I walked through the metal dectectors at Staples Center, a security guard looked at my sign, a puzzled look formed on his face, and he got the opinion of two other security guards. All three security personnel concluded that my "KILL JACK KILL" sign was unacceptable because "Kill" is a deragotary term....ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?!? Do you know anything about Jack Johnson? Apparently not. I contemplated whether or not I should let some tears squeak out of my eyes but I held back my rage and handed over my fabulous sign, but not before ckim took a picture of it:
Jack, I didn't forget about you!
