Everthing's been so HEAVY lately, so I thought I would lighten things up by telling the world about my little game a play while driving all over:
I look for names on signs, billboards, storefronts, wherever.... and when I see a name that concides with that of a track athletes, out loud I'll say the full name of the track athlete.
Examples:
Pass a Bob Evans restaurant, say " Lee Evans ! "
See a Barnes Distributing Co. billboard, say "Randy Barnes ! "
And on and on.
Common nouns work to, such as, seeing Southern State Parkway sign, that's an easy " Eddie Southern ! "
I've had a ball with this for years. Just easy fun, but watch for traffic every now and then. Great way to entertain yourself while driving.
And if there are two track tweebs in the car, make a contest out of it. Then, you corroborate your answer by saying, "Eddie Southern, quarter miler/intermediate hurdler from Texas". But if you proclaim a name the other guy's never heard of, he will accuse you of course of making it up.
Try it, you'll like it !
