d.: (ring) Hi, Cal.E., how are you today?
C.: I’m fine, I just hope that I didn’t take you away from anything important.
d.: No, not really. I was just playing Maddening Football with my sons while we watched a bowl game.
And Junior Samples III makes an incredible catch. He’s only playing because the three starting wide outs are going to declare for the NFL draft and aren’t playing because they don’t want to get hurt, and the top seven backup wide receivers are in the transfer portal. Another college is offering them one cent a game more than this college team can afford, so they’re leaving.
Let me turn the t. v. down.
C.: You’re playing Maddening Football while you watch which bowl game?
d.: We’re watching the Tidy Bowl, now, which will be followed by the Fruit Bowl, and then the Bowl Bowl.
C.: I see. Why do you call one of the most popular video game of all time “Maddening Football”?
d.: I call this video game because the last time I won a game was when I played my youngest son, a long time ago.
C.: How old was he then?
d.: He was four.
C.: And you haven’t won a game since?
d.: No, I just don’t get all the controls and what exactly they are for.
C.: Okay, got it. What was the last game of the day called again?
d.: The Bowl Bowl. I guess they ran out of names for all the college football bowl games. It’s a slow day today, though. There are only three bowl games on television.
C.: Oh, okay. T. doesn’t watch much football. Only about twenty hours a week. He says that’s all the time he can work into his busy schedule.
Anyway, I was just calling to thank you for telling me what the true meaning of Christmas was.
d. Yes, that passage explains it well. My sons used to complain when Eudora and I insisted on reading that passage before we opened presents. Now, they argue about who’s turn it is to read the passage. I let them read it when they started to ask if they could do it instead of me.
C.: That’s great! Hey, d.c., as I said before, my husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken doesn’t watch that much football, and we couldn’t find the Texans’ game yesterday. How did your favorite professional football team do yesterday
d.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
