Winging It 8:
DON'T WORRY, IT'S MULTIPLE CHOICE
10.10.003

Sadly, Loons, I will be away from my keyboard this weekend and unable to Loon-Drop in the wake of the Cornhuskers' Saturday battle with Misery. I thought that would be worth mentioning, particularly if the Cornhuskers should (shudder) lose to the underdog Tigers, and people start coming around wondering why I haven't written something yet, y'know, whatsamatter you big baby, can't you take one widdle loss from your precious team, what are you, some kind of bandwagon-jumping frontrunning loser punk? Well, no, and furthermore, that's getting way ahead of ourselves. Here's expecting that Nebraska's reconstructed cyborgs on the offensive line will move the pigskin well enough so that those questions won't be flooding my inbox come Sunday morning ... not that I'll be around to see them, but, well, you get the idea.

I am excited about embarking on a brief sabbatical. Yet, somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of my Fat Tire-addled brain, I feel a twinge of responsibility to the red-clad masses who for some reason are still reading this drivel after five long years. Sometimes these columns go on and on and on and on and on and on and unless you're reading closely and can muster the concentration powers of Professor X and are extremely well-versed in current events and/or pop culture, a lot of this stuff looks like a big pile of scatological ravings from a mental patient on two hours' sleep. Hey, are you still reading? Then it is for you, our most loyal readers, for whom we have created a little multiple-choice time-waster to tide you over until we return next week. Call it less than a quiz, but more than just a dumping ground for our subconcious. Enjoy, take your time, have fun answering, see you next week ... and remember, there are no stupid answers, just stupid Colorado fans.
