It didn’t take long for the toilet to reappear – in fact the bowl was still spinning from the Red Sox season when it came back. Last year the Red Sox beat the curse this year they sunk. Can’t win ‘em all but you gotta love the dedication. We love you Masshole!
After a nine month absence the infamous toilet reappeared in the front yard of Bob G’s house. The cause for celebration was the North Carolina State University vs. Virginia Tech game. Last season Virginia Tech won the ACC Championship but lost to NCSU at home. This year the stakes were high – the toilet (and a little collateral damage) were resurrected to demonstrate both the importance of the game and overall celebration of the start of another football season.
The toilet appeared again prior to the North Carolina State University vs. East Carolina University football game. The historical significance of this game was not to be ignored and the toilet had to be invoked to celebrate the occasion.For those of you not from this area or just plain brain dead let me quickly explain why this game was important from both a historical and season perspective.
As if getting older wasn’t its own punishment my wife and friends decided it was a good idea to surprise me prior to my 30th birthday with a party. A few of the guys took me to play Par 3 while everyone else set things up at the house. The toilet had been in hiding for a few months and reappeared in front of the house with a fresh paint job and new words of encouragement for the aging man. Reminders to drink prune juice and calling me an old fart where just part of the fun.
The toilet was originally conceived as a prank for a couple of our newlywed friends who were returning from their honeymoon. Wayne and Bethany prevented us from doing the traditional toilet paper and shaving cream damage to their vehicles by hiding them the day of the wedding and locking them in the garage after they left on the honeymoon.
