Go Huskies
So I got an email from a co-worker a few days ago. She encouraged me to read the forwarded email she was sending on to me before responding to the subject line. Not a good sign.
I read - slowly, calmly. A co-worker from our parent company had been alerted to the fact that I, an Oregon resident, was brazenly wearing a UW Huskies pullover just days before the big Dawgs-Ducks game this weekend. He, a UO graduate, recommended immediate disciplinary action. I, a UW graduate, responded - slowly, calmly - something along the lines of, "Bring it on!"
Yes, boys will be boys. He and I settled into a few more taunts, then the following agreement:
- The loser buys a t-shirt in the winner's team's colors and provided it to the winner
- A snapshot is taken of the winner in his new team-spirit shirt
- The loser must host the photo of the winner on his desk for the remainder of the football season
So, although I would have caught parts of the game tomorrow, the game will now have my rapt attention starting at 12:30. I have invited our house's one other big football fan, Hannah, to join me. Gabriel was invited, too, but he'll come for the snacks, then play his DS. Hannah will watch and play and demand songs from me, but she'll actually enjoy watching the game.
Janette, on the other hand, will be headed out to enjoy a movie (she informs me).
So let's cheer on the Huskies, shall we? Diary of 1 runs a great sports merchandise store: Team Mascot. Hopefully, this is where my work friend can buy me a t-shirt when his team loses. Go Dawgs!
