Whacky Cowboy stuff...

[Juke99]

As a distraction from the total annoyance that this super bowl is....What are some things you do that are just slightly out of whack because you're a Cowboy fan?

I'll give ya my example.

There's a great take out Italian restaurant by my house.

When you call an order in, they give you a number to use when you pick up your food.

Of course, I'd get the number and then 20 minutes later, I'd forget it and have to stand there looking like an idiot while they sorted through all the take out orders to find mine.

But..alas...I hit upon a brilliant, and so far fool proof method.

I relate the number to a Cowboy player, past or present.

So the guy says, "You're number 74." I think Bob Lilly.

The guy says "67"...I think Pat Toomay...etc. And I haven't forgotten my number since I started my new method.

Fortunately, I haven't yet gone to the counter and said "I'm here to pick up Tony Romo"



So, what goofy equivalent do you do?

What if your number is 103?

 

[cowboyeric8]

Ha, I do the same think Juke. When I need to remember a pin number thats how ever many digits long I think of Cowboys who wore that number so I can remember.

Must you always be difficult?

I've never gotten a number higher than 80.

Yo Bugle boy...What's happening?

Great minds.

My pet wierd thing involves the microwave. I never just heat things up for 20 or 30 seconds or some set amount like that. I always program my microwave for a specific number of seconds and it's always based on a certain players number. 33 seconds for Dorsett, 12 for Staubach and so on.

Don't worry - my wife can't understand it either. Warm something up for a minute she says. My reply is something like "you mean you want a Larry Cole?"

Just doin my "job" Sally....just doin' my job.

Doin' fine, thanks.

Great minds.

Unfortunately they will also fail --start practicing writing the number down
and what it means --in the future it is a great habit--Much better then driving to town and all you can remember is a football player, but not why you are in town --laugh all you want to -it will happen --

Juke can you tell me if I pressed submit ?

What if your number is 103?

Then I would simply remember 2 numbers. I would remember a player who wore 10 and 3. Ha, but since I can't remember somebody who wore 10, I would be out of luck and just try to remember the number.

I remember pin numbers, lock combinations, and phone numbers by uniform numbers. I still remember on my locker from my senior year of High School in 1982 because it was 3 players I loved.

12 right...Roger Staubach.

20 left...Mel Renfro.

34 right...Cornell Green.

I think that beats mine. Pretty cool though.

That's a damn good question and is precisely the reason I order pizza - DELIVERED.

I had a pin number awhile back, I can't even remember what it was to. But it was 82288, I didn't even pick it. That one was easy.

I've done that exact thing to remember lock combinations, phone numbers, alarm sequences, PINs, etc. ever since I was a kid.

Haha, there you go.
