Off topic - but funny
 
The Portland Beavers AAA baseball club has had some funny promotions but it will be hard to beat the one on Aug. 2. It's "Mullet night"! Everyone sporting a mullet (male or female) gets in free that night.

I don't know if that includes players. :eek:

I am not making the following up - I swear on Earl Strom's whistle. My wife said she heard on a morning radio show that the Beavers were have a promotion this weekend in which they would have a van filled with doctors outside the stadium to give anyone who wanted a prostate exam a free one. You would then be let in free to the game. This was so bizarre, I checked their website and there was no mention of it. It's got to be a joke.

M&M Guy Wed May 09, 2007 03:52pm

I'm still just trying to get past the picture of a beaver with a mullet.

GW men's basketball had all of the coaches wear bowties for a prostate cancer awareness night last year. I'm guessing that offering free prostate exams out on the street would have attracted more press.

Enjoy the free game Mark! I can't believe no one threw that out, of course we are all distracted by the beaver talk and that's not uncommon. :p While we are on the subject, A friend of mine said that at the minor league field in Witchita a few years ago (after the Larry Eustacy stuff) had a night where you got in free with any Iowa State shirts and Natty Lights were 1/2 price.

Hey - even though I don't have (and never did have) a mullet, at least I have enough hair for one, unlike some other people I know on this board (no - I don't mean Juulie). :)

Right, Dan?

You're on the right track.

It is a suggestion...

We better be careful before the moderators take this one down for being racially insensitive. :p

Yeah - we wouldn't want the Romans to get upset that we weren't using their numerals. We might get a visit from Tony Soprano. :eek:

As long as Uncle Junior doesn't show up waving his gun, I wouldn't mind. ;)

BTW - I nominate Pauly Walnuts for the best name on television.

When I first moved to the northwest years ago Oregon State beat USC for the first time in years, but the game was really close. OSU had built a lead and then hung on for the win.

The next day in the Spokane Spokesman-Review, the headline on the front page of the sports section was "BEAVERS OUTLAST TROJANS".

I showed the paper to my lovely bride who responded with, "Well, Duh!"

A while back there were 2 girl's HS teams locally, both Catholic schools, that fought it out every year post season. One of the teams was always slightly better, they even won state 2 yrs in a row. Local newspaper headline after the second win was

"Girls from XXX go all the way again!"

Quite a few years ago I was watching a UCLA-USC basketball game on TV. One of the UCLA students was holding a sign that read, "FLUSH USED TROJANS". :D

On Tuesday, May 8, the Brewers are partnering with WITI FOX 6, Froedert & The Medical College of Wisconsin, and the National Prostate Cancer Coalition to conduct free digital (DRE) and PSA blood test prostate cancer screenings, from 7a.m. through 3p.m. A mobile clinic vehicle will be set up in front of TGI Friday's restaurant, located on the northeast corner of Miller Park. In addition, the Brewers will provide two tickets to a future Brewers game to every person screened. Parking is free and no appointment is necessary.

Well, there ya go.......

My entry for dirtiest line in the history of TV:

"Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night".

I guess Johnny Damon would have gotten in free before he joined the Yankees.

I hear they are letting all Blue Jay fans in free as a consolation prize for...well, you know, being Blue Jay fans.
