Last week I got wind of some "deals" happening on the GB Packers store so I investigated a bit. I ended up buying 6 items that were of the "clearance" nature; Two of the items were genuine jerseys in child sizes. I've wanted a #4 Favre Jersey for a long time but it's like $190 or some such thing so I've never done it. Getting a couple for the kids, on sale, seemed uber cool so I grabbed them and then some tee-shirts for myself and Kerri. In the end, I was looking at a $130 bill for 6 items, as opposed to $190 for a single (SELFISH!) jersey.

All my GB crap arrived today and it is pure sweetness! As I handed out the authentic jerseys to my kids, I was totally stoked for them but part of me was thinking, "wouldn't it be cool if Kerri and I had matching gear?". I really wanted it but I just couldn't justify that kind of cabbage for what amounts to a "shirt". So that was it. Or was it...?

I ended up at Darin's place today (another Packer fan) and told him about our Packer booty and he told me about this poor jersey that he bought two years ago but was a bit too small. He brought it downstairs and it was (Get this shit baby!), a #4 Favre that was too small for him and just a bit big for me. And (*really* get this shit baby!), he GAVE IT TO ME. So on a single day, myself and my two kids are donning GB jerseys. Kerri is also hanging in there with a GB visor and Tee. So we're looking good.

I probably shouldn't be so stoked on such a material item but this simple thing put a wide smile on my skull cover. And Darin just made it happen with a wave of his hand. Very cool. I feel like I'm living that old Coca-Cola commercial where that pro football player gets a Coke from a kid and tosses the kid his jersey. I'm feeling very lucky... again.

[UPDATE] If you want to see me in person, you should do it soon because I'm gonna wear this jersey every day, for the rest of my life (so I might be stinky). This is like being Marcia Brady and having the lead of The Monkeys kiss my cheek... "I'll never wash it again!" Or, I'll take it off tomorrow and wash it -- I'm not sure.
