The Only Purple I Like...
The Only Purple I Like Is Grape Soda... So says former FB William Henderson of the Green Bay Packers at his blog at 540ESPN Milwaukee. In a soon to be all-time classic rant - The only purple I like is grape soda - about the purple-clad boys from Minnesota, William gets off some classic lines, like the following "The Vikings trophy case still shares all the characteristics of an empty glass of water". Go check it out, a funny article from a former Packers player. A big thanks to Lemondrop for forwarding this in to us. A long time ago, we were watching the Packers game in the basement of a bar (only place there to guarantee audio for the Packers game) when a packers jersey wearing fan showed up with his non-football watching new girlfriend. I believe she had tried to get him a purple sweater for his b-day or similar. He refused the gift. She didn't understand this whole aversion to purple that some of us Packer fans carry around with us. I explained to her how I grew up without any purple clothing until I was in my early 30's and then allowed some simple purple t-shirts (I had every other color) into my wardrobe. She was looking on in somewhat disbelief, he was nodding his head vigorously in agreement. In the end, I'm sure she thought BeerScout and I were crazy, but maybe, just maybe she looked at her boyfriend as being just a little bit less crazy. So it's good to know that I can line-up in good standing with Gilbert Brown and William Henderson and a cast of thousands. BeerKid - Always Pack 4 Life! |
