Tailgating Prints

'Is it just my imagination, or do we have a lot more relatives now that we're throwing a tailgate party?'

Look! Up in the sky! It's absurd! It's inane! It's "Malaprop Man"! Malaprop man! Where are you going? To a processional footbrawl game! The Tampa Bay Bucketeers and New York Jest are playing. Are you a serious fan? Yeah, I've a sneezin' ticket holder for years! Isn't it early to go to the stadium? We nave a snailgate party in the barking lot. I drill chicken winks and square ribs! Do you get nervous watching your team play? Yes, I'm very dense during the games! And before and aft

The football preseason is a good time to review the rules of tailgating. Grabbing the ketchup when one person is handing it to another is "pass interference." Bringing salad instead of chicken wings is not allowed --- It's an "illegal substitution." "Piling on" is penalized on the football field, but not here at the tailgate party! And very importantly, in most places, we observe the "5-second rule" for dropped food. But here we have the "2-Minute Warning"! See, these fries are still good!

College game crowd: 'WE WON',,,'and that somehow makes you superior'

Headshot of perky dog.

"No, I did not sniff you!"

"Just picking up some Super Bowl provisions."

"My dog is NOT a child substitute. Not according to his headmaster anyway."

'Go long!'

'I can't lick my itchy bum, but I have amazing hearing!'

Handshakes.

'Oh forget it, I'll take a bath.'

"He likes to do it for the Yale-Harvard game."
