The Big Game meets The Big Game

Too funny. Super-Duper Tuesday is two days after Superbowl Sunday. Both Superbowl teams need a traveling day after the game, so a victory rally would have to be on-- yup. So Hizzoner the mayor was trying to come up with a plan for a parade that wouldn't block four Boston precincts from getting to the polls-- walled off by "a million delirious knuckleheads with their faces painted red, white, and blue." But when Mayor Menino publicly mentioned the plan? You guessed it. He "may as well have suited up for the Giants," 'cuz now he's a jinx.

A quote:

Meanwhile, New York city officials are tight-lipped about plans for a
Giants victory march through the streets of Gotham.
“We in New York always
find a way to honor our teams, but we’re not going to jinx them by discussing
any plans beforehand,” Stu Loeser, spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said
in response to a Herald inquiry.

Beautiful.

Postscript: Menino v. Bloomberg Superbowl bet:

If (or when) the Pats win, Bloomberg will send a delivery to Boston that includes Manhattan clam chowder, pastrami sandwiches, New York pizzas, black and white cookies, New York steaks and a few gallons of lemon ice.

And in the unlikely event of a Giants victory, Menino will send a package with New England Clam Chowder, Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, Boston cream pies, chicken sausages and Brigham’s ice cream.
