I am cleaning out my saved personal emails. This is one you should always
save and pass on to posterity. It is the funniest email I have ever read.

This is long but it's damn funny. Just keep reading.
I'd love to know who wrote it. Goose, did you pen this?



<< <<<< <<A chronology of events for Saturday, December 4, 1999, and the
early
<< <<morning hours of Sunday, December 5, 1999:
<< <<
<< <<6:00 Arise, play the Eyes of Texas and Texas Fight at full-freaking
blast
<< <<
<< <<6:20 Get in car, drive to New Braunfels
<< <<
<< <<7:30 Tee off (me and a buddy were the FIRST tee-time of the morning)
<< <<
<< <<8:50 Turn 9 (crack open first beer)
<< <<
<< <<8:53 Crack open second beer
<< <<
<< <<8:58 Crack open...(you get the idea)
<< <<
<< <<10:30 Finish 18 (holes, as well as beers), sign scorecard for
smoooooth 95
<< <<
<< <<10:35 Headed for San Antonio
<< <<
<< <<10:50 Buy three 18-packs for pre- and post-game festivities
<< <<
<< <<11:10 We decide we don't have enough booze, so we double-back to a
liquor
<< <<store and buy the good ol' 750 ml plastic bottle "Traveler" Jim Beam
<< <<
<< <<11:50 Arrive at the tailgate spot. Awesome day. Not a single cloud
in
<< <<the sky. About 70 degrees.
<< <<
<< <<11:55 I decide that we're going to kick the shit out of Nebraska.
<< <<
<< <<11:56 I tell my first Nebraska fan to go fuck himself.
<< <<
<< <<12:15 The UT band walks by on the way to the Alamodome. We're on the
<< <<second floor of a two-story parking garage on the corner (a couple
hundred
<< <<of us). We're hooting and hollering like wildmen. The band doubles
back
<< <<to the street right below us and serenades us with Texas Fight and The
Eyes
<< <<of Texas. AWESOME MOMENT.
<< <<
<< <<12:25 In the post-serenade serendipity, 50-100 grown men are bumping
<< <<chests with one another, each and every one of them now secure and
certain
<< <<of the fact that we are going to kick the shit out of Nebraska.
<< <<
<< <<1:00 The Nebraska band walks by on the way to the Alamodome. Again,
we
<< <<hoot and holler like wildmen. Again, the band doubles back and stops
right
<< <<below us to serenade us, this time, however, with the Nebraska fight
songs.
<< << Although somewhat impressed by their spirit and verve, we remain
<< <<convinced that we are going to kick the shit out of Nebraska.
<< <<
<< <<1:30 I begin the walk to the Alamodome, somehow managing to stuff the
<< <<"Traveler" and 11 cans of beer into my pants.
<< <<
<< <<1:47 I am in line surrounded by Nebraska fans. They are taunting me.
I
<< <<am taunting back, still certain that we are going to kick the shit out
of
<< <<Nebraska. I decide to challenge a particularly vocal Nebraska fan to
play
<< <<what I now call and will forever be remembered as "Cell-Phone Flop
Out."
<< <<Remember flop out for a dollar? The rules are similar. I tell this
<< <<Nebraska jackass that if he's so confident in his team, he should "flop
<< <<out" his cell phone RIGHT NOW and make plane reservations to Phoenix
for
<< <<the Fiesta Bowl. And then I spoke these memorable words: "And not
those
<< <<damn refundable tickets, either! You request those non-refundable,
<< <<non-transferrable sons-of-bitches!" He backs down. He is unworthy.
I
<< <<call Southwest Airlines and buy two tickets to Phoenix, non-refundable
and
<< <<non-transferrable. Price: $712. He is humbled. He lowers his head
in
<< <<shame. I raise my cell phone in triumph to the cheers of hundreds of
Texas
<< <<fans. I am KING and these are my subjects. I distribute the 11 beers
in my
<< <<pants to the cheering masses. I RULE the pre-game kingdom.
<< <<
<< <<2:34 Kickoff. Brimming with confidence, I open the Traveler and pour
my
<< <<first stiffy.
<< <<
<< <<2:45 I notice something troubling: Nebraska is big. Nebraska is
fast.
<< <<Nebraska is very pissed off at Texas.
<< <<
<< <<3:01 The first quarter mercifully ends. 9 yards total offense for
Texas.
<< <<Zero first downs for Texas. I'm still talking shit. I pour another
stiffy
<< <<from the Traveler.
<< <<
<< <<3:36 Four minutes to go in the first half: the Traveler is a dead
<< <<soldier. I buy my first $5 beer from the Alamodome merchants. While I
am
<< <<standing in line, a center snap nearly decapitates Major Applewhite and
<< <<rolls out of the end zone. Safety.
<< <<
<< <<3:56 Halftime score: Nebraska 15, Texas 0. I wish I had another
<< <<Traveler.
<< <<
<< <<4:11 While urinating next to a Nebraska fan in the bathroom at
halftime, I
<< <<attempt to revive the classic Brice-ism from the South Bend bathroom:
<< <<"Hey, buddy, niiiiiiiiice cock." He is unamused.
<< <<
<< <<4:21 I buy my 2nd and 3rd $5 beer from the Alamodome merchants. I
share
<< <<my beer with two high school girls sitting behind me. Surprisingly,
they
<< <<are equipped with a flask full of vodka. I send them off to purchase
$5
<< <<Sprites, so that we may consume their vodka. I have not lost faith.
<< <<Nebraska is a bunch of pussies.
<< <<
<< <<4:51 No more vodka. The girls sitting behind me have fled for their
<< <<lives. I purchase two more $5 beers from the Alamodome merchants.
<< <<
<< <<5:18 Score is Nebraska 22, Texas 0. I am beginning to lose faith.
This
<< <<normally would trouble me, but I am too drunk to see the football
field.
<< <<
<< <<5:27 I call Southwest Airlines: "I'm sorry, sir. Those tickets have
been
<< <<confirmed and are non-refundable and non-transferrable."
<< <<
<< <<5:37 I try to start a fight with every person behind the concession
<< <<counter. As it turns out, the Alamodome has a policy that no beer can
be
<< <<sold when there is less than 10 minutes on the game clock. I am
enraged by
<< <<this policy. I ask loudly: "Why the fuck didn't you announce last
call
<< <<over the fucking PA system??!!"
<< <<
<< <<5:49 Back in my seats, I am slumped in my chair in defeat. All of a
<< <<sudden, the Texas crowd goes absolutely nuts. "Whazzis?," I mutter,
<< <<awaking from my coma, "Iz we winnig? Did wez scort?" Alas, the answer
is
<< <<no, we were not winning and we did not score. The largest (by far)
cheer
<< <<of the day from the Texas faithful occurred when the handlers were
walking
<< <<back to the tunnel and Bevo stopped to take a gargantuan shit all over
the
<< <<letters "S", "K", and "A" in the "Nebraska" spelled out in their end
zone.
<< <<I cheer wildly. I pick up the empty Traveler bottle and stick my
tongue in
<< <<it. I am thirsty.
<< <<
<< <<6:16 Nebraska fans are going berserk as I walk back to the truck. I
would
<< <<taunt them with some off-color remarks about their parentage, but I am
too
<< <<drunk to form complete sentences. With my last cognitive thought of
the
<< <<evening, I take solace in the fact that if we had not beaten them in
<< <<October, they would be playing Florida State for the national
championship.
<< <<
<< <<6:30 Back in the car. On the way back to Austin for the 8:00
<< <<Texas-Arizona tip off. We can still salvage the day! I crack open a
beer.
<< << It is warm. I don't care.
<< <<
<< <<7:12 We have stopped for gas. I am hungry. I go inside the store. I
<< <<walk past the beer frig. I notice a Zima. I've never had a Zima. I
<< <<wonder if it's any good. I pull a Zima from the frig. I twist the top
off
<< <<and drink the Zima in three swallows. Zima sucks. I replace the empty
<< <<bottle in the frig.
<< <<
<< <<7:17 There is a Blimpie Subs in the store. I walk to where the
<< <<ingredients are, where the person usually makes the sub. There is no
one
<< <<there. I lean over the counter and scoop out half a bucket of black
<< <<olives. I eat them. I am still hungry. I lean further over the
counter
<< <<and grab approximately two pounds of Pastrami. I walk out of the store
<< <<grunting and eating Pastrami. The patrons in the store fear me. I
don't
<< <<care.
<< <<
<< <<8:01 We are in South Austin. I have been drinking warm beer and
singing
<< <<Brooks and Dunn tunes for over an hour. My truck-mate is tired of my
<< <<singing. He suggests that perhaps Brooks and Dunn have written other
good
<< <<songs besides "You're Going to Miss Me When I'm Gone" and "Neon Moon"
and
<< <<that maybe listening to only those two songs, ten times each was a bit
<< <<excessive. Perhaps, he suggests, I could just let the CD play on its
own.
<< <<I tell him to fuck off and restart "Neon Moon."
<< <<
<< <<8:30 We arrive at the Erwin Center. My truckmate, against my loud and
<< <<profane protestations, parks on the top floor of a nearby parking
garage.
<< <<I tell him he's an idiot. I tell him we will never get out. I tell
him we
<< <<may as well pitch a fucking tent here. He ignores me. I think he's
still
<< <<pissed about the Brooks and Dunn tunes. I whistle "Neon Moon" loudly.
<< <<
<< <<8:47 I am rallying. I have 4 warm beers stuffed in my pants. We're
going
<< <<to kick the shit out of Arizona.
<< <<
<< <<9:11 Halftime score: Texas 31, Arizona 29. I am pleased. I go to
the
<< <<bathroom to pee for the 67th time today. I giggle to myself because of
the
<< <<new opportunity to do "the bathroom Brice." There are no Arizona fans
in
<< <<the bathroom. I am disappointed. I tell myself (out loud) that I
have a
<< <<"Niiiiiice cock." No one is amused but me.
<< <<
<< <<9:41 I walk to the bathroom while drinking Bud Light out of a can.
<< <<Needless to say, they do not sell beer at the Erwin Center, much less
Bud
<< <<Light out of a can. I am stopped by an usher: "Where did you get
that,
<< <<sir?" I tell him (no shit): "Oh, the cheerleaders were throwing them
up
<< <<with those little plastic footballs. Would you mind throwing this away
for
<< <<me?" I take the last swig and hand it to him. He is confused. I
pretend
<< <<I'm going to the bathroom, but I run away giggling instead. I duck
into
<< <<some entrance to avoid the usher, who is now pursuing me. I sneak into
a
<< <<large group of people and sit down. The usher walks by harmlessly. I
am
<< <<giggling like a little girl. I crack open another can of Bud Light.
<< <<
<< <<9:52 I am lost. In my haste to avoid the usher, I have lost my
bearings.
<< <<I have no ticket stub. I cannot find my seats. Texas is losing.
<< <<
<< <<10:09 Texas is being screwed by the refs. I am enraged. I have
cleared
<< <<out the seats around me because I keep removing my hat and beating the
<< <<surrounding chairs with it. A concerned fan asks if I'm OK and perhaps
I
<< <<shouldn't take it so seriously. I tell him to fuck off.
<< <<
<< <<10:15 After the fourth consecutive "worst fucking call I have EVER
seen,"
<< <<I attempt to remove my hat again to begin beating inanimate objects.
<< <<However, on this occasion I miscalculate and I thumbnail myself in my
left
<< <<eyelid, leaving a one-quarter inch gash over my eye. I am now bleeding
<< <<into my left eye and all over my shirt. "Perhaps," I think to myself,
"I'm
<< <<taking this a bit seriously."
<< <<
<< <<10:22 I am standing in the bathroom peeing. I'm so drunk I am swaying
and
<< <<grunting. I have a bloody napkin pressed on my left eye. My pants are
<< <<bloody. I have my (formerly) white shirt wrapped around my waist. I
look
<< <<like I should be in an episode of Cops.
<< <<
<< <<10:43 Texas has lost. I put my bloody white shirt back on my body and
<< <<make my way for the exits. I am stopped every 20 seconds by a good
<< <<samaritan/cop/security guard to ask me why I am covered in blood, but I
<< <<merely grunt incoherently and keep moving.
<< <<
<< <<10:59 With my one good eye, I have located the parking garage. I walk
up
<< <<six flights of stairs, promise that when I see my friend I will punch
him
<< <<in the face for making me walk up six flights of stairs, find the
truck,
<< <<and collapse in a heap in the bed of the truck. I look around and
notice
<< <<that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole
flights,
<< <<and no one is moving. I take a nap.
<< <<
<< <<11:17 I awake from my nap. I see my friend in the driver's seat. I
lift
<< <<my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is
lined
<< <<up all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is
moving.
<< <<I am too tired to punch my friend. I call my friend a "Stupid
cocksucker."
<< <<
<< <<11:31 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that
<< <<traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights,
and
<< <<no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid cocksucker."
<< <<
<< <<11:38 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that
<< <<traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights,
and
<< <<no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid cocksucker."
<< <<
<< <<11:47 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that
<< <<traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights,
and
<< <<no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid cocksucker."
<< <<
<< <<11:58 I am jostled. The truck is moving. I lift my head to look out
the
<< <<bed of the truck and notice that traffic is beginning to move on the
second
<< <<floor. I jump out of the truck, walk to the edge of the parking
facility,
<< <<and pee off the sixth floor onto the street below. My friend looks at
me
<< <<like I just anally violated his minor sister. I turn around and pee on
the
<< <<front of his truck while singing the lyrics to "Neon Moon."
<< <<
<< <<12:11 We are moving. We are out of beer. I jump from the truck and
go
<< <<from vehicle to vehicle until someone gives me two beers. I am happy.
I
<< <<return to my vehicle.
<< <<
<< <<12:26 We have emerged from the parking facility. We make our way to
my
<< <<apartment and find Ed sitting on the couch with a freshly opened bottle
of
<< <<Glenlivet on the coffee table in front of him. We are all going to die
<< <<tonight.
<< <<
<< <<12:59 We have finished three-quarters of the bottle of Glenlivet. We
<< <<decide it would be a wonderful idea to go dancing at PollyEsther's. Ed
has
<< <<to pee. He walks down the hall to our apartment and directly into the
full
<< <<length mirror at the end of the hall, smashing it into hundreds of
pieces.
<< <<We giggle uncontrollably and leave for PollyEsther's.
<< <<
<< <<1:17 The PollyEsther's doorman laughs uncontrollably at our efforts to
<< <<enter his club. "Fellas," he says in between his fits of spastic
laughter,
<< <<"I've been working this door for almost a year. I've been working
doors in
<< <<this town for almost 5 years. And I can honestly say that I ain't
never
<< <<seen three drunker mother fuckers than you three. Sorry, can't let you
<< <<in." We attempt to reason with him. He laughs harder.
<< <<
<< <<1:44 We find a bar that lets us in. We take two steps in the door and
<< <<hear "Last call for alcohol!" I turn to the group and mutter: "See,
dat
<< <<wasn't that fuckin' hard. Day don't fuckin' do that at the Awamo...the
<< <<awaom...the alab...fuck it, that stadium we was at today..." We order
6
<< <<shots of tequila and three beers.
<< <<
<< <<2:15 Back on the street. We need food. We hail a cab to take us the
two
<< <<and one half blocks to Katz's. The cab fare is $1.60. We give him $10
and
<< <<tell him to keep it.
<< <<
<< <<2:17 There is a 20 minute wait. We give the hostess $50. We are
seated
<< <<immediately.
<< <<
<< <<2:25 We order two orders of fried pickles, a Cobb salad, a bowl of
soup,
<< <<two orders of Blueberry blintzes, two Reuben sandwiches, a hamburger,
two
<< <<cheese stuffed potatoes, an order of fries, and an order of onion
rings.
<< <<
<< <<2:39 The food arrives. We are all asleep with our heads on the table.
<< <<The waiter wakes us up. We eat every fucking bit of our food. Most of
the
<< <<restaurant patrons around us are disgusted. We don't give a fuck. The
tab
<< <<is $112 with tip.
<< <<
<< <<2:46 I'm sleepy.
<< <<
<< <<9:12 I wake up next to a strange woman. She is the bartender at
Katz's.
<< <<She is not pretty.
<< <<
<< <<
<< <<HOOK 'EM HORNS, BABY!!! Out--
