The Coyotes are Pure Evil.

It was brought to my attention once again today that sports is one area where I am very, very weak. Unfortunately for me, someone in the Phoenix Coyotes organization is aware of this and keeps finding creative ways to exlpoit my weakness to make me spend my money on hockey tickets. At first they simply used a telephone, like civilized people do, to make offers to me every once in a while. I usually managed to resist, and I haven't gotten one those calls in months.

Then they developed a new strategem. I went to buy a mountain dew at work today, as I am wont to do, and as it plummetted to the output of the vending machine I saw "Coyotes, $10 off!" Staring me in the face.



"That's not good."

The dang can is a coupon for $10 of a lower level seat and $5 off an upper level seat. Naturally, I lost all control and immediately went back to my computer to check this week's schedule, and I'm going on Saturday. But I don't want to go alone, so... I need another can.

And that's the thing that really scares me. What if the next can doesn't have a coupon? Will I keep shoving quarters into that blasted machine until I get another one? I think I just might, whether I try to stop myself or not. I'm sick.

So the Coyotes, like the unscrupulous predators all coyotes are, are preying on the sick and the weak. They know I have money. And they want it.
