Friends. Tonight an ongoing mystery has been solved. Every game I've gone to this season, during the burrito toss, I've asked my viewing partner. Do you think those are real? My vote? No. No WAY. They're not throwing real burritos at people. They could fall apart. Rice and beans would rain from the sky. Could get ugly. But to my surprise, many of my fellow spectators have thought otherwise. Jen thought they must be real, and she wanted one. Why don't they have Chipotle in the phone booth?? Ayse thought they must be a simple mix of rice and chicken, no wet ingredients. But the meat can get greasy and leaky. And what about our vegetarian friends? Dick thought if they were made the night before they would be fine because they would be dried out, primed for tossing. This didn't hold weight with me. Something about osmosis... Along the same lines Ayse also thought it could work if they were refrigerated. But, she noted, cold burritos might hurt more if they hit someone. As luck would have it, I've got a big shot Slapshot affiliate within my social web. Text Slappy, we implored. We needed to know. What lies beneath the foil? My guess? Cardboard or styrofoam and a Chipotle coupon for a free burrito. Answer? a tshirt and a Chipotle coupon for a free burrito. Sweetest victory, being right never stops feeling good. Until the next Caps tradition mystery...
This is prob a good time to say to you, Slappy, I hate your new look :-\ I'm really hoping it's a playoff outfit, and I do appreciate you rocking the red, hard. But let's go back to a regular ice skating hockey mascot eagle look come the regular season next year, yeah?
I had always wondered that myself, I was kinda hoping this was a story about how you miraculously won one of the burritos which would have been awesome but the answer is still good to know.
ReplyDeletehaha isn't having a connection to Slappy just as good? Ayse got a ride from him in his Slappy van to work this morning
