Avoiding the final score of a game you have recorded to watch later is an art form. You gotta keep your head down, your ears on a swivel, and steer clear from all papers, TV and humans. The last being difficult to manage if you work with customers. Hence, this sign (via FH) by a worried Boston-area barista: "Customers, please try not to talk about the Celtics game. I am recording it and watching it when I get home tonight. I would really prefer to not know the outcome ahead of time. Thanks." Ten bucks says this didn't work. You just know some ass-hat had to order a extragrandethecelticslostbecausedocisclueless ... with whip cream.

- Definately not a bandwagon Celtics fan. My uncle owns a bar across the street from the garden and I have been going to watch them since I was 5 years old (including a lot of games last year).
- Don't think people care at all, which is why I didn't sign the note. Just trying to not find out what happened in the game.
- Mac User? I'm not, but I don't see how that matters. Are you one of those people that makes fun of people because of what kind of computer they have? That's awesome man.
