My mother tells me that the Saskatchewan fans are wearing hollowed-out watermelons on their heads. All I have to say to that is that in this desperate season of a Canadian winter, what a horrible misuse of fruit.

fruit blunder

And all the Montreal fans are wearing used poutine trays on their heads. The trick is to leave just enough gravy in the bottom of the tray to allow it to stick to your hair. That way, it won't blow off in the face of the cruel winter gales of Commonwealth Stadium.
ReplyDelete(In the old days, I could see the Stadium (but not the field itself) from my apartment balcony. The roar of the crowd always told me when the Eskimos scored, though. I could get a great audio effect by dialing the volume of the radio broadcast of the game up and down in cycles of about a second, allowing first the cheering from the broadcast to dominate my hearing, then the live cheering coming directly from the stadium, and so on, back and forth. For those of you who may think that it is an anomaly that I have no discernable life NOW, this is anecdotal proof that this state of affairs is hardly a recent development.)
ha ha ... watermelon cruelty. Back in the 1970's, there were ads on the TV which were designed to encourage the use of seatbelts. The ads featured a slo-mo of a watermelon flying through the air, then gorily splitting open on a hydro pole. Ouch! My next-door neighbours were an old couple in their 80s. One day when I was visiting them (mooching cookies, no doubt), the ad came on their TV. The lady tsk-tsked as she paused to watch the ad. She turned to me and said: "That ad is on every night! I wish they'd stop it! It's such a shame to keep wasting so many watermelons! They should start giving them to the poor instead."
