SO,... I made the single mom with the special needs son cry at the store today
We haven't been to the store in a week and needed some things. I went after breakfast.
Nebraska has no pro football team. ...or even really a college team since they fired the last winning coach and hired a losing one... The closest team is KC. I'm a life long Packer fan. The year I got my own TV for Christmas I watched the "Ice Bowl" in my room on a small B&W set. (I wanted a mini-bike) http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-films-americas-game/09000d5d821e1541/America-s-Game-The-Ice-Bowl ... WHAT THE ****, STEVE!?!?!
Today I was wearing a Packer sweatshirt. Several people in the store had Packer shirts on. I talked with all of them including a checker. ...everyone knew that I was dying and wanted to know if I had an update on when...
I was out the door when I saw a young lad in a Packers jersey coming towards me. I immediately pointed at him and yelled "I love that shirt" His face broke into a huge smile. We high fived. We started talking football. ...An ebil conservative Chiefs' fan made nasty remarks about that *n* in the white house so I checked him into a wall in teh deli section... [ok, not football but still]
His mom said because of his medical problems he can't play the game, but he "so loves" the game. ...uh...what medical condition? You didn't mention it before... you need to mention it before... like, this kid came in with downs syndrome wearing a Packers' jersey...
Many years ago I bought a box of Packer wrist bands for some fund raiser. Whenever I see kids in Packer gear I offer them the one I'm wearing as a gift. (I remember some kid that was going into the Obama rally before the 08 caucus going nuts over one of those too.)
I showed my miniature Super Bowl ring on my keyring. I started to make the offer and his mother stopped me. I noticed she was crying. She told her son to go inside and get a basket. I gave him a hug goodbye. ... your what?
She told me that to most people that don't know him her son in invisible. People will go out of their way to avoid him. Others stare. And it is hard on her being a single mom. ...WHAT"S HIS CONDITION DAMMIT!!!
She thanked me and gave me a hug. She wasn't the only one crying by then. ...everyone gave me a golf clap and patted me on the back...
OS
I looked it up.
Those key rings go anywhere from $20.00 to $75.00 depending on what it was. Now- if Steve was just gonna give the kid the key ring cool... but he did say He started to make an offer.
I'd like to think he was just gonna give the kid the key ring.
::)
No cops, no conversions... even from a Raiders' fan to Packers' fans but it's got a lot of nice parts to it.
sucky bouncy good story Steve, if it happened.
PS. Packers lost.
:bawl:
-
Packers lost again? This is a pretty good day.

Well, with all the real world problems (like our country quickly becoming financially insolvent, terrorists attacking innocent people, our enemies no longer fearing us, our friends no longer trusting us, etc.).. DU needed a feel god bouncy to make them realize all was OK in the world.
You can always count on OS...

Not necessarily; I'm sure there's even some primitives who wish the big guy'd hurry up and spring loose of this mortal coil, as he promised he would.
