Not sure what to make of this, but I was walking to class this morning wearing my favorite Avs hat and a bird totally lined me up and shat on my head.

Now the timing of this incident is what really got me.

Perhaps this bird turd on my Avs cap is a sign of things to come. A symbol of the Avs play of late, and their near fortunes. Frankly, they have looked like shit for a fortnight.

Or perhaps, it is the hockey gods giving me a message. Perhaps they are saying "Okay, we have had our fun with you by making the Avs lose so much lately. It sure was enjoyable watching your little temper tantrums. We love watching you wave your angry little fists in the air. We have learned several new expletives thanks to you, although we recommend you never say "farkle my narkle" in public. We couldn't resist having a bird evacuate his poop shoot on your Avs hat this morning. The look on your face, priceless. But we think now you have paid your dues. The bird turd was your final tribulation. You now realize how fortunate you are that the Avs have rebuilt with a young and exciting team so quickly. We got the the feeling for a while there, you took that for granted. Now that you have been served, clean that shit off your hat young man, sit up straight, and eat your vegetables, for we now can deliver the Avalanche to the playoffs."

If the latter be the case, thank you hockey gods. I am your humble servant. I will not take this team for granted again. I Believe!

PS... I will gladly allow another animal, your choice, to defecate on me if you guys get rid of the uniprons! Thanks so much hockey gods.
