CU at the Tailgate

without comments

The new phonebooks arrived yesterday, which naturally made me think of the movie “The Jerk”. Then, I went home for lunch and Sarah & Adelaide were listening to some kids’ CD version of “Jump Down, Turn Around, Pick a Bale of Cotton…”, which of course also made me think of the movie “The Jerk”. If the thought of Navin R. Johnson, typical run of the mill bastard, being shot at while pumping gas doesn’t make you laugh, you just don’t know funny.

The whole thing made me wish we could all run off and join the circus for a wild fling with the daredevil motorcycle jumping lady/guy of your choice. Since that’s not likely, come out to the tailgate instead. The Tiggers face the puffaloes from Colorado University at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Sarah may or may not be taking pictures from a plane pre-game, but we’ll all be out at the tailgate by 10:00 or so regardless. We’re going to have some wings from CJ’s, and various other things that people may or may not bring. (If anyone from CJ’s is listening, please order me up some togo wings for Saturday).

CU is 3-0 thus far this season, but they’ve given up a bajillion yards on defense so we’ll be fine. The good guys have won their last 8 games at home, conveniently letting me ignore disasters at shoebirdville last year and the home of Troy this year. Tigers will move to 3-1 on the season and into first place in the Big XII North with a victory over the only University in the nation who’s had more bad press than us recently (recall, their president (female) trying to pass of cu** as a term of endearment for females, in court no less. At least our people had the good sense to only make idiotic statements on tape-recorded jail house conversations).

So, to recap:

  • Come on out to the tailgate.
  • Eat some wings, sandwiches, etc.,
  • Have a beverage.
  • See kids run around.
  • Discuss Steve Martin’s “The Jerk”

Who knows, there might even be actual live weight guessing. “Take a chance and win some crap!”.

And for more proof that the internet knows all, this link leads to what appears to be the entire script to The Jerk. http://blake.prohosting.com/bamzone/jerksc.txt
