News flash from Air Cowboys America, from Farmers Branch, trailer-hitch capital of the world and leader in square-dance innovation:
Sorry if expecting a Super Bowl EVER YEAR is a bad thing.
Yew think our dreams of a Super Bowl ever year is dumb?
Well, let me tell you something, mister pessimist.
We are the peeps. Ever day we go to work in the oilfields, the construction sites and dreary offices and crawl spaces. We work in cyberspace, in retail and the Furr's Cafeteria where the elders get their early bird lunches and leave with a smile on their craggy faces because they know they don't have to leave tips.
We labor to live our humble and meaningless lives. Vicariously in the deeds of our footall heroes.
We are the wheat germ farmer and the Vegemite wholesaler. We are the garter belt salesmen who linger at homes . . . .
In short (cue in the "Battle Hymn of the Republic") We is America.
....Well, where was I, oh, (echo chamber effect) We represent an America that is wholesome and nimble and humble and looks forward to Sundays, after confession or at shul, when we can root for our team.
You may think the Super Bowl, to us as we know us, is a stupid thing to hope for ever year. But mister, it aint a stupid thang at all.
Home is the salesman home from the sea and the farmer home from the shore. You in your fancy downtown Dallas parties at the All Club with allmen tossing dollars like they was quarters after bringing in them wells and gas and stuff. You, rubbing shoulders with Gale Storm and Gina Lollabrigida may think you are all high and mighty and think we are stupid and in denial about a Super Bowl. I guess paling around with Richard C. Hottelette and Tony Dow gives you license to talk down to us optometrists who BELIEVE.
:enough: No siriee. We is eternally hopeful and stuff that this year maybe (well, maybe not) but next year with a real gud coach we can climb that Mt. Olympus hill. That we will have another Lombardini Trophy and Landry will smile down from the bathhouse of the parthenon of greats and Jimma, on his casino seat, will tip his glass at us.
Super Bowl ever year, yeah, ("Battle Hymn of the Republic" fades out) but that is our dream!
