Guess who's going to Stamp Camp?


One of the (few) perks of having kids is that having them gets you into places you normally wouldn't be allowed to go. Family bathrooms are one of the best examples of this. It's not that I mind the communal nature of public washrooms. I've been in and out of locker rooms since I was 3 years old. Having the boys out in public is a normal part of any day. I prefer the family bathrooms for opportunities like this, where I can update my blog and my kids are contained with me in here. A side note: why do all these public washrooms have all those sinks in them. Does anybody even use them?

Probably the best advantage of having kids is that the Calgary Stampeders seem to like them. They'll sign an autograph for a kid way before they'll sign one for a 31 year old with an F.U.E.E (I hate the Eskies by the way) shirt on even if he has a pretty sizeable and visible Stampeders tattoo. The Stamps won't even let you come to their practices unless you have kids with you. (Before I had mine, I did a lot of weekend baby-sitting, until their parents clued in. It wasn't THAT cold.) And the only way they'll let you sit on the sidelines during Stampeders Camp is if you bring your kids. They're even checking ID now. Even better: if one of your kids looks a little "off", you get bumped to the front, no questions asked. Lucky me, then. One of my kids looks a bit slow, so I put him on my lap and watch the Stamps right next to the sidelines. If anyone asks me to move, or leave, I just hold up my kid and they basically have to shut up. If they don't I just shout for Dickenson and he'll sort it out, although I think he's getting a little tired of it, because last time he asked me to move back a little bit and let the children see the practice.
Coming up, on the 17th, they play the BC Lions. I think the Lions are a bunch of wimps and would like to direct any Lions fans to this commercial for their team.


Stay Fresh!

  1. Well, I definitely don't blame you for using your children to get good seats at Stamps games, what else are children for really? Sports is life, and I don't have a single problem with what you've been doing. If I could see ya, I'd high five ya.
    PS Can I borrow your slow kid to get into the Calgary Roughnecks lacrosse games?

  2. Can't. Sorry. I'll be taking my lovely children to Stamps Camp for the next 17 days. Totally worth pulling them from school, plus it reinforces the slow kid persona.

  3. Craig, I've noticed you have been googling my blog for the key words "hate sports"! I am shocked that you would think that I would blog about any sort of hate group, including sports.

  4. Just trying to get a feel for who's out there. And you're not that out there. I seem to be attracting people who infer that I dislike sports, which couldn't possible be further from the truth.

  5. *Sigh* I get sick and tired of sports fans... for one good reason... you guys just can't stand other people not liking that nuisance you like. I don't like playing dull pyshical games... so what? I enjoy games such as Left 4 Dead or Dawn of War 2. Oh and did I mention some twit just had to link us this site?

  11. Are you from Texas? If you are, this stupidity is natural. Good thing China and Japan aren't sports countries! Here's the thing that's slowing down this countries advances in technology: Sports, religon, and you!

  12. You're calling me ignorant, yet you seem to have forgotten that China hosted a fairly significant sporting event not too long ago. Did news of that reach you in your village? Apparently being on the Internet 18 hours a day doesn't make you worldly. If you read a single word on my blog, you'd know more about me.

  13. Oh the stupidity! Does China go hardcore when it's about sports? No, America is crazy about it... I don't watch shit about sports, I don't watch shit... the Internet was harder to create than pigskin shaped as a oval... oh wait because you don't how to shitting comprehend the effort it took to make...

  14. Actually, I have a blog entry that addresses this very topic. You're welcome for the foreshadowing. It's as though I knew the creator of the internet was coming to chat...
