Blogging will be light or nonexistent this weekend

September 24, 2010 by retrieverman

I’m going to visit my cousin in Louisiana this weekend.

I’m also taking a football game (not my favorite activity).

I’ll just think of dogs, 70 degree weather, and leaves that are turning in the autumn sun for the way too longness that is an American football game.

If you have my cell number, you can call me.

(But if you have my number, you already know this.)

Oh well, off to Louisiana:

Source.

BTW, now you know what’s wrong with me:   I don’t get football or anything that involves balls and teams. I choose to be willfully ignorant here.

And that’s that.

    Just gamble on on it. WVU is a 9 point underdog. That’s how I get through cricket matches.

    Seriously, you can just call a toll free number in Costa Rica, and they will credit your visa when you win. I am sure it’s perfectly legal by now.

    If you’re not into football, baton rouge on a Saturday night, will make for unbelievable (drunk) people watching. As James Carville said: “Half the fans in the stadium can’t even spell LSU.”

      Although I occasionally listen to the home team on the radio while I’m doing other stuff, going to spend 3 hours or so just to see 12 minutes of action is not my idea of a good time.

      But I agree with bill. As long as you are going, think of it as a sociological field work and study the habit of the natives of this strange country.

      Drunk watching is interesting.

      WVU fans have been known to put back a few.

      I don’t think they can spell it either.

    I was hoping to use Bill for gator bait this
    Weekend, looks like I will have to use
    Retrieverboy. I am going Tiger hunting
    Tomorrow night, mums needs a fur coat.

    What the hell my comments do
    Not need moderation. I am telling
    Gramps

    Scottie, you are not just going to some lil ole high school football game, you are going to Tiger Stadium on Saturday night!!!! There will be PLENTY to observe and think about, not to mention food to sample. And we have a cold snap coming this weekend–it’s only supposed to be 91 today in Baton Rouge.

    I don’t know how long you are in State for, but you are invited up to Natchitoches to sample some meat pies and see if you can hypnotize Blizzard into being less protective.

      LOL

      Yeah, I’m going to Death Valley.

      I’m staying in Baton Rouge just for today.

      My cousin has an internship with Exxon.


      • on September 25, 2010 at 4:43 pm Laura

        Well, if I had known you were coming, I’d have baked a cake, or at least tried to make it down to BR and take you to dinner. Come back in December and get your cousin to bring you up to Natchitoches to see the lights.

        Enjoy the experience. Whenever I see all the motorhomes and mutliply by $100,000 and then add up all the money spent on season tix and parking passes, I get a little woozy.

        I have missed being able to chat. My knee getting better so I could get back to exercising is cutting into my social life– if a chat room could be considered a social life, not to mention taxiing the kids around to their various activities.

    I have some nice pics of retrieverboy in downtown
    BR, I was fattening him up for gator bait.


    • on September 25, 2010 at 3:34 pm retrieverman

      I’ll put them on the blog readers’ group when I get home.


    • on September 25, 2010 at 4:45 pm Laura

      I’ll be looking for you on tv this evening. What section are you in and are you wearing (or not wearing) any distinguishing items?


      • on September 25, 2010 at 5:27 pm Willie Boucher

        I will be wearing a white and tan
        Jumpsuit sitting with some hillbillies
        That will not be wearing any shoes


        • on September 25, 2010 at 5:33 pm Laura

          That narrows it down a bit!!!


  6. on September 26, 2010 at 12:57 pm Willie Boucher

    What is the slang term for rural swamp
    People that do not conduct themselves
    Appropriately in public?


    • on September 26, 2010 at 12:58 pm retrieverman

      Jack Russells.


    • on September 26, 2010 at 1:00 pm retrieverman

      Jack Russells


      • on September 26, 2010 at 1:04 pm Willie Boucher

        Retrieverboy is a hillbilly coon ass


        • on September 26, 2010 at 1:08 pm retrieverman

          That’s an oxymoron.

          You can’t be a hillbilly and a coonass.


        • on September 26, 2010 at 1:09 pm retrieverman

          BTW,

          Are we taken in any of the Northern part of the Vaterland in December?

          That’s where we’re from.

          Munich is Bavaria, south and Catholic.


  7. on September 26, 2010 at 9:18 pm Willie Westfall

    Coonassman, you are from the swamps
    Go jump in the pond and look for your
    Kin folk


    • on September 26, 2010 at 11:09 pm Bridget

      LOL
