Entreaty to the Skibums

After seeing many instances of requests for votes for person X as a number one Packer fan, I feel the need to give you a warning.

If you give this person your vote, no matter how nice she is or how much you like her OR no matter how much Ski thinks she is cool because she is a Packer fan..... Well, let me just say that you will put your life as a Skibum at risk. Let me explain...

As a Skibum, you should know that there is only ONE number one Packer fan in your world. That is Ski. In case you are not aware, he only roots for the Panthers because Mr. S and Mr. M convinced him to. Yes, he has a few other reasons, but he needed convincing.

As you know, Disney World (or Land or anything associated with it) is Mecca. Remember Mecca? Well, if there was a place that Ski wanted to go that wasn't Disney, it would be to the Frozen Tundra. He is a Cheesehead if there ever was one. Have you seen those yellow shirts? I mean, you all know how to say that name on the back of the jersey. Not many other people can say that!! And have you heard how many times he has been riddled over that jersey?!?!? The man loves the Pack!!

I think that for as long as I have known him, your father has been a Packer fan. He liked the Packers before Brett Favre came along. I still remember watching the "Minister of Defense" and it was bittersweet when he retired and then came to play for the Panthers. The green and gold are so indoctrinated into the family as the Packers colors that when Iz saw the Univ. of Oregeon football team today, he got all excited about the Packers since he was only looking at the colors.

We all make sacrifices -- especially when we love someone. Someday, when you are all off on your own, Ski and I will head north and pray for snow as we watch the Pack in Lambeau Field. Do you know how cold Wisconsin is in the winter?!?!?!
