*The names in the following stories have not been changed, but the events have been completely fabricated.
Shops across America were overrun on Sunday afternoon by BISERGSers on the hunt for national team uniforms. Confused employees at Frontier Mall in Cheyenne had no idea where to look for Morocco team kit and scarves for Saudi supporters, reported a disappointed Arlan Barrera. Big 5 in Monroe, Washington was also unprepared for the rush on Iran banners and miniature soccer balls with Iceland's team emblem according to frustrated shoppers Shelby Keyser and Bill Snyder. Bill was grateful to get a small Mexico flag from a waiter at Ixtapa and plans to wave it enthusiastically every time Mexico take the field. Portland is often referred to as Soccer City, USA, but Rick Samuelson was unable to locate a Serbia jersey after 5 hours of searching. "All they have is Brazil, Germany and the Portland Timbers!" I can understand why Rick would be disgusted at the thought of a Portland Timbers shirt.
Meanwhile in Edmonds, Andrew Rutz did mange to get team gear from Russia and Saudi Arabia. Last night he took over his mom's sewing machine and created one shirt out of the two. "It's the only way I can think of cheering for both of my teams during the opening match," said Andrew as he bravely pulled a sewing needle out of his index finger.
In Europe it isn't as difficult to find World Cup gear, but Allison Rutz faces a different challenge. When Spain play Portugal in the huge group B match Friday, can she find a way to cheer for Portugal without angering her Spanish friends? DJ who took Spain with his first pick in the draft doesn't have that problem at all as he looks forward to fully embracing the mania of El Mundial in his adopted country.
In Burlington, Vermont police reported a dramatic increase in World Cup related graffiti art last night. They noted a particular rise in Argentina, Peru, Serbia and Panama tags, but have yet to identify a suspect. Instagram blew up last night after skating legend Vera Glenney posted pictures of her new deck featuring the flags of Spain, Colombia, Australia and Egypt. Skate shops across the globe are scrambling to create World Cup themed skateboards in response to new demand.

Keep the humor coming! Chuckling is good for health and well being.
ReplyDeleteGreg Samuelson is desperately visiting mall after mall with measuring tape in hand (10 so far) to find the longest, Guinness Book of World Record breaking scarf. Only the biggest and best for this UAE resident. He better get started knitting!
