Humans have been putting spherical objects in hoops for centuries, but until the invention of the dunk, the fast break, and face dribbling, it wasn't an activity worth watching. See if "basketball" lives up to the hype with today's GrouponLive deal to see the Denver Nuggets play the Phoenix Suns at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday, February 14, at 7 p.m. For $54, you get a basketball outing for two (up to a $108 total value), which includes:
- Two tickets for seating in the upper level (up to a $68 value, including fees)
- Two Nuggets T-shirts (a $40 value)
On Valentine's Day, fans exercise their seldom-used yodeling muscles by cheering on the Denver Nuggets, who boast one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league, as they face off against the Phoenix Suns, the winningest franchise to have never won an NBA Championship. Point guard Ty Lawson dashes across the court, valiantly adding to his 15.5 points and 6.3 assists per game through 18 games, and forward Danilo Gallinari attempts to steal more basketballs than the Artful Dodger tiptoeing through a Sports Authority. During breaks amid the fast breaks, fans can admire the choreographed routines of the Nuggets dancers, break out a Running Man to sedimentary tiers of beats laid by Pepsi Center DJs, or gaze in awe at Rocky the super-mascot as he dances, dunks through flaming hoops, climbs the stands, and occasionally fills in as head coach.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Airport Security
The airport's TSA (Toned Squad of Angels) agents act as gatekeepers to the skies. Here's what you'll need to know to pass through TSA territory:
• You will be asked to take off your shoes upon approaching the security checkpoint. Shuffling through security with only a thin layer of sock between you and the floor reminds you that you're still an earthbound human even though you're about to soar through the sky like a big ol' bird.
• Passengers will be asked to pass through a full-body scanner, which uses x-ray technology to search for weapons, incriminating thigh tattoos, and gross ulcers. People who do not want a stranger to look at their underclothing areas can opt out of the scan, but they must go on a romantic yacht date with a TSA agent before being allowed to pass through security.
• Liquids in tubes, bottles, or sealed jars are unacceptable because they can't be properly sniffed or spread onto bread for identification purposes. Pour your liquids into plastic grocery bags so that agents can at least run their hands through them.
• Place your laptop computer in its own bin before passing through security. Computers must be examined separately so that agents can edit your screenplay in private.
