In yesterday's post, titled 'I'm Kinda Like MacGyver', I patted myself on the back for coming up with an out of box idea to test some faulty (and not so faulty) batteries I had in one of my radios.
I follow that post up with an example of me not being so clever. In fact, I'm nothing but an idiot!
Earlier this week, I was on the NFL website and came across a few Indianapolis Colts items that were reduced to clear. For example, there was a silicon Colts cup from the 2023 International Series game when Indianapolis beat the New England Patriots in Germany.
I added that. There were also a couple of pin badges and a flag that were also placed into my shopping cart.
And then I came across a necklace.
'That sure would be cool to wear on game days,' I thought to myself. That too was added to my order.
The parcel arrived two or three days later. I reached in and felt a foamy item. I pulled it half-way out and noticed it was the Colts horseshoe.
'I didn't order one of those,' I said to everyone at home witnessing the parcel opening. It was a foamy sign. Vicki had actually bought something like that for Christmas years ago. It's like a sign for a car grille. She actually bought me two different Colts logos for a car and one has been hanging out on my fridge's door since day one. Anyway, the other gift - the foamier horseshoe - is in a box filled with some of other presents Vick gifted me over the years.
Anyway, forget about the foam Colts car sign for now. What was inside the parcel was not one of those. I discovered that as I pulled the rest of the merch out of the parcel bag.
Attached to the foam sign was... a thick blue chain.
If only you could have seen my reaction when I realised what I had bought. The fact I had actually been thinking of Vick's gift before I took this chain entirely out of the parcel made me believe she was behind this pratfall in some way.
Trust me, she would have loved to have seen this hysterical calamity play out. This is one of those stories we would have laughed about forever.
Instead of ordering a regular-sized necklace I thought would be a cool charm to wear on game day, I had actually ordered a big damn blue chain with the most obnoxious Indianapolis Colts logo attached to it.
The Ibiza Final Boss has nothing on this bling!
There is no way I would ever wear this in public. With that said, I never watch the NFL in public. So, you know what that means.
Damn right.
The Colts' game against the Los Angeles Rams kicks off at 9:05pm BST on Sky Sports Football.
