Weeeener!

Anyone who knows me understands that I am a huge LA Kings fan.

Thus, you can surmise that I am deleriously happy that the Kings won the Stanley Cup. What you don't know is that I am not some fairweather fan. I enjoy baseball, like football and will even watch most of a soccer match on occasion. But hockey, especially Kings hockey, can literally affect my health. If the Kings lose a couple games in a row, my heartburn kicks up to flame thrower levels and I am pretty sure my blood pressure goes up twenty points. When they win, I swear I lose weight and become more attractive to my wife.

So, being the kick-ass Kings fan that I am, and true believer, I put a bet down on the Kings to win the Stanley Cup, two hours before the game. The first game of the playoffs. I will soon be off to collect my 18-1 winnings.

That definitely makes me feel like giddy.
