So here I'll be after the Quarterfinals trying to sell my consolation tickets to the fans of the losing teams. But how do you do it without coming off as "to bad you lost, need tickets tomorrow?"

I sell mine for five bucks each, and I have never gotten a bad reaction from a fan from the losing team. Not even the Edina fans last year :shock:

I just give mine away to some kids I see as they need the 5 or 6 buck more than me.

Last year, I was parked on Wabasha St., having some lunch with wbmd, Pioneerprideguy, Body Shots and Youngblood08 for a Suburban East Conference summit session, and I had a pair of consolation tickets sitting on my dash board.

Got back to my SUV to find the windshield smashed and four more tickets left on my dash.

I'm sorry to hear that you had lunch with WBMD. Must have been the worst part of your day.

Oh boy, forget Leno and O'Brien, I'm calling NBC and requesting that they make you host of The Tonight Show!

Too funny....

Actually, Empiresy, wbmd was fine. It was PPG who was a liitle out of control. He showed up wearing the white clergical collar, and gave a recruitment homily on why we should convert to Classic Suburbanism. It was quite embarrassing on how he commented that the plastic silverware was better, and the soda pop glasses were bigger, the napkins stronger and the service faster in the Hill-Murray cafeteria. "Hey!! Just like the Pioneer hockey team is! Better, bigger, stronger and faster!"

And Teaker... just remember.... I will need some writers.. You're as good as they get..

This sounds like the most unhappy lunch of all time.

Goldy, I will try to tone it down this year. I will leave the flowing robe at home and won't demonstrate the walking on water incident again. But hey, you gotta check out the new ketchup dispenser at Hill...it's amazing!

PPG, your walking on water was expected, but the fact that you brought a lab kit to test the purity of the water to see if it was even worthy of walking upon was outstanding. Your flowing robe was a nice contrast to the mini-skirt and pumps that Body Shots wore. Plus he applied the makeup a little heavy, eh?

I was flattered that Body Shots showed up looking like Mary Magdalene but was a little worried when coach Sager drove by & yelled out the window, "Take the body...take the body."
