You should have purchased a watch, a map, or a sensible plan.

Oh, I didn’t even touch on the Bag People’s excuses:

“It’s full of life-saving equipment…I’ll just die if I have to eat and drink that Stadium food.”

“I couldn’t possibly wear this heavy coat, but I have to keep it with me just in case.”

“I couldn’t possibly sit on this heavy coat which I’m not wearing – I need a cushion for that.”

“Rolled-up plastic bags are for students. I need a nor’easter oilskin slicker for the intermittent drizzle that may or may not come.”

“I need the books to keep me mentally stimulated until the game gets exciting.”

“My guests have to keep their baggage because they’re not here to actually watch the game — they just came so I could show off.”

“I have a medical condition…it’s called selfishness.”

I’m either bringing it into the stadium with me, or I’m going to have to return all this newly purchased merchandise.”

Is a Camelbak what you used for 40 years in the desert? And I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to bring your tablets into the Stadium this season.

“I don’t have any more marshmallows to throw, I could only fit 5 in each pocket.”
“How come nobody brought the whistle we beat Stanford with last year?”
“Well, at least it’ll be a lot easier to hoist someone in the air 38 times in a row.”
“Hey, get your own Guinness Camelbak!”

Only ‘some Fridays’? I guess I’ll just have to try harder.

I’ve always liked gold…lots of it. And I try to keep the blue material to a minimum.

Some Fridays, Fr. Sorin’s letter is a nice cap to the week. A glass of very nice port. It’s read and considered, unlike port. Which should never be read. The “Good Fridays” evokes smiles and chuckles. Sometimes reflection. This one forces roars of laughter. “Pamplona Seating” is wonderful. I don’t mean to gush over a fellow HLS-staffer (Irish Elvis does that enough by stacking us into the Top 25) (zing!) but this is really, dare I say sinfully, good.
