MLK'd

Catching an unlucky break on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day when you're least expecting it.

You run to the campus rec center on an unlucky Monday and find out it's closed ... when you call someone in the office and they're out for the day ... when all your teacher friends have the day off while you're stuck at work ... you've been MLK'd.

Dude, that game tipped off at noon today. You just got MLK'd.
