Ladies and Gentlemen –
It’s that time of the year……
No, I am not talking about having to wear the butt ugly sweater your Aunt Edna gave you last year.
That’s next week
I am talking about College Football Bowl Season!
Spike your eggnog, grab a seat and adjust that ugly sweater with kittens on it dressed as reindeer and enjoy the first of two parts of the 2012 College Football Bowl Games.
Enjoy….
CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS
Before I deliver a valuable and potentially lifesaving Christmas tip, let’s clear the air about something.
It’s CHRISTMAS, it’s not a “Holiday”
You don’t put up a “Holiday” tree do you?
Do you bust your butt to put up “holiday” lights?
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t care if you celebrate Hanukah or Chanukah
But I do know that if you try to pronounce either of those words after you drank a glass of buttermilk that you will cough up something that will appear to be a lung.
And I don’t even care if you want to celebrate a made up “holiday” like Kwanza
But call it what it is
And what it isn’t is a “holiday”; can I get an amen?
One last thing on this subject….
For those card carrying members of the politically correct speech police who are always SO damn offended about ANYTHING to do with Christmas and the birth of Christ let me point out one very simple flaw to your logic.
Before you start attacking Christmas shouldn’t you speech police folks be addressing that most racist of all days commercialized on American television with weeklong commercial blitzes.
I am talking about, of course “Black Friday”
The day of reduced prices and good deals, like black people can’t afford the regular prices!
O’ The Humanity!
How horribly racist!
And O’ By The WAY it’s African – American, NOT “Black”!
They don’t EVEN use a hyphen in “Black Friday” either!
I am so OFFENDED I can’t even see straight!
What’s NEXT a “Mexican Monday”? A “Trinidad Tobago” Tuesday?
I hope the little goose stepping Nazi Speech Police will attack this horribly racist day BEFORE they attack Christmas. Get your priorities straight dumbasses
Now for your Christmas (yes, I said Christmas) Safety Tip….
If you are busy shopping in your local mall or outlet retailer and you are called by what appears to be “Santa” who smells like Ben Gay, Pepperidge Farms Summer Sausage and a hint of Southern Comfort…
Please don’t smell his hands, no matter how much he pleads with you
And before you ask…..
“No” I don’t want to talk about it
COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL GAMES
I don’t need to tell anyone readying this column that we are experiencing tough economic times.
The current economy is affecting the myriad of Bowl games as well.
Many of the “smaller” bowl games are combining sponsorships in an effort to survive.
Some of the names and sponsorships may be new to you readers and viewers at home.
But they have been forced to combine their resources even if those resources and name brands we have grown accustom to seeing don’t necessarily “go together”.
For example
This 2012 College Bowl Season you will see such Bowl games and the accompanying commercials for..
“The Viagra – Purina Monkey Chow Bowl”
Before the game you will be reminded…
“If your monkey is swinging from tree to tree for over four hours, call a veterinarian, the National Geographic Society and a registered zoo keeper.”
“The Ex-Lax Taco Bell Bowl”
The pregame commercials will include such statements as…
“Taken together, you will do more than run for the damn border”
And..
“Don’t try and run for the border, because you won’t make it”
“The Cialis Volkswagen Wienerschnitzel Bowl”
The appropriate commercial will accompany this “new” Bowl Game
“If your Weinerschnitzel is experiencing a little far fug noogan then take Cialis”
“The Oscar Myer Devils Ham Rogaine Bowl”
These commercials will leave you with these reminders before kickoff…
“If you want hair to grown on your Deviled Ham, then try Rogaine”
And of course
“Seriously, we don’t know what’s in these products, we just know they work”
“The Preparation H Whack-a-Mole Bowl”
The commercial for this bowl game is just wrong on a number of levels
“When you feel that familiar yet uncomfortable itch; Whack-a-Mole!”
THE BOWL GAMES PART I

COUGARS 34-17
Friday December 21st
Beef O’ Brady’s Bowl
Ball State and Central Florida
The name of this bowl sounds like it’s sponsored by some old male stripper.

(Chick-a-Pow Pow)
GOLDEN KNIGHTS 34-31
Saturday December 22nd
R & L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
East Carolina and Louisiana Lafayette
It doesn’t seem right that there isn’t a team represented in this game with “Hurricane” in their name.
I’m just saying….
RAJUN CAJUNS 31-21
MAACO Bowl
Washington and Boise State
If you are confused as to the acronym associated with this bowl game, I am here to help…
MAACO stands for….
”Methodist African American Coalition of Ophthalmologist”
No need to thank me, it’s what I do
BRONCO’S 28-17
The Silicon Valley Bowl
This Bowl game is sponsored by Dolly Parton and Pamela Anderson

Little Caesars Bowl
Western Kentucky and Central Michigan
Until I saw the advertisement for this Bowl game I had no idea that it was sponsored by a Pizza place
I thought it was sponsored by the great Gangster movie…”Little Caesar” with Edward G. Robinson
I have to get out more
HILLTOPPERS 34-31
ACME Rocket Bowl

Ok, let me be sure I have this right….
This is the “military” Bowl right?
But you don’t have any military academies in the game
This is just stupid
FALCONS 24-17
Belk Bowl
Cincinnati and Duke
I’m not quite sure what a “Belk” is…..
Maybe they meant “Belt”?
Now that is starting to make more sense
BEARKATS 31-28
Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
Baylor and UCLA
The only thing funnier than “education” in the title of this bowl game, is the fact it’s in San Diego California. Let me break down an educational “California History Lesson” for you….
“It’s all whitey’s fault: the end”
DA BEARS 41-38
The Lamisil Toe Fungus Monster Bowl in Beautiful Septic Tank New York

AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
Ohio and Louisiana Monroe
I liked this game a lot better when it was the Weedeater Independence Bowl
Frankly I don’t have any idea what the hell an AdvoCare is….

“Hey Jim rev that AdvoCare up to V100 I’m going to shock the hell out of this crazy jackass!”
WARHAWKS 28-23
Russell Athletic Bowl
Virginia Tech and Rutgers

SCARLETT KNIGHTS 24-21
Menieke Car Care Bowl of Texas
Minnesota and Texas Tech
I was a bit confused as to what a “Menieke” was and why they were interested in your Car…
I have come to learn that “Menieke” is a dwarf from the Czech Republic who works at place in Texas that specializes in car detailing. I hope that has cleared up any misunderstanding you may have had
GET THOSE GUNS UP! RED RAIDERS! 33-28
The Tyson Chicken HN 1 Bird Flu Bowl in Little Rock Arkansas
The selection for this bowl game is done somewhat differently…
The teams selected for this bowl game are done so on the basis of their hideous mascots.
Just looking at the respective teams mascots will give the viewer symptoms of the HN 1 Bird Flu…
Evergreen State Geoducks and Earlham Hustling Quakers
Saturday December 29th

If you want to stop hunger in America and elsewhere, then keep Wynonna Judd, Phil Fulmer and Rosie O’Donnell away from the buffet line. You’re Welcome
SUN DEVILS 34-17
Valero Alamo Bowl
Texas and Oregon State
If anything this should be called the “John Wayne Alamo Bowl”

I believe the Beavers will win, but I am incapable of picking against the Longhorns
LONGHORNS 28-24
New Era Pinstripe Bowl
West Virginia and Syracuse
This game is being played in Brooklyn New York
So why isn’t it called the “Carjack Bowl”?
It’s more appropriate wouldn’t you say?
MOUNTAINEERS 41-24
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
Texas Christian and Michigan State
If only Buffalo was in this game then I could have the headline….
“If Buffalo goes wild and wings it, then they could take home the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl”
There are days that I just wish for too much…
MIGHTY HORNED FROGS 24-17
The Fleet Enema Bowl
Sponsored by Fleet Enemas and Colon Blow from beautiful Hershey Pennsylvania
This bowl game is reserved for teams that blew it out their butt all year
