utter failure
It sounded simple enough....sit down and watch the Clemson game....well, that didn't happen....they stopped play because lightning was within five miles of the stadium....they sounded a siren and everyone went under cover, or whatever.....the people with the tubas were still sitting in the stands, and they were brass tubas it looked like, not the plastic kind like in the Rose Parade....I wouldn't want to have yards of brass wrapped around me in a lightning situation, I don't think.....anyway, about an hour later they started up again, and played a few plays, and then stopped again.....and the TV station finally gave up and started showing some other game....it was a wierd game anyway....Clemson did win, but there only ever two touchdowns, half a dozen interceptions and fumbles, and a dozen or something field goals....all in all, a croak......but I did finally finish off the enchilada pie, and watch an episode of Top Gear I hadn't seen before....

and, looking further into the HMS Blazer thing, for something to do while the game was stopped, I find that it wasn't called the Blazer because of it's blazing cannon....it didn't even have any guns! It was a bloody paddle-wheel survey ship.....no wonder Captain Waugh dressed up his crew....he had to do something to impress the Queen....he couldn't shoot off guns.....
