What Y'all Missed on Sunday!















Danger Boy tearing up the "Freshies" at Wildcat

BRAGGING RIGHTS: So, I go to the Wildcat lift ticket desk and kindly ask to pick up my "Wild Card" (though sad that it took until January 26th to do this...). When the attendant returned, she said to me "Just for giggles, I'll tell you that you were the very first person to purchase a Wild Card this year." "Really?" I replied, "How do you know?" She said, "Because your card is numbered xxx1." Wow, I thought. My lucky day! With visions of cheering crowds and reverence by my peers, much like Ralphie had when his 'theme' was surely to get an A++++ I asked "Do I win something for that?"
I could tell by the complete lack of a reaction that this "you'll shoot your eye out kid" kind of woman gave me that I would have to be content in the simple knowledge that I was first, and gosh, isn't that nice?

Gosh, that is nice! I can't believe she didn't work in a little feel-good gift. A few things come to mind that she could have easily done for you:
1) Gathered together her co-workers and belted out a shortened version of "You're So Special"
2) Given you a free Wildcat claw sticker (yeah, I know they're free anyways)
3) Beer voucher???
4) Set up 5 minutes of one-on-one time with the Bud Light schwag gals (or is that what I'd like??)
