OPENING DAY TICKETS RELEASED

by puckishcubsfan on Apr 9, 2009 2:09 PM CDT

I made this a fanpost to make sure it stood out.

We just found out we're off on Monday at work because they have to do something with the computers. (YEA I don't have to take a vacation day!)

A coworker decided to take a chance and there are some tickets available.

I wanted to make sure everyone caught this that might be thinking they can't get tickets.

Hope people understand why I did it this way.

I always like seeing tickets returned to the wild.

Makes me feel all warm inside knowing they’re out there somewhere, foraging, mating, rasing little baby tickets.

I left my clever sig line in my other pants.

Nothing...

quite like seeing tickets fornicate for the first time.

I saw that once on the Discovery Channel.

It really made me question a few things about myself.

Like the stubborn Daver you had...

while viewing the tickets in action?

Yep, I had a raging Daver.

I just hope my wife doesn’t find my stash of ticket porn.

Question Daver...

What’s the over/under on how long it takes before the “Urban” Daver joke gets old? Is it eternal? I don’t know if I see myself tiring of it…

I think it stands a strong chance of catching on (around here at least).

As mentioned before, however, I’d just like to rewrite the definition to take out the “smaller than average” part.

It is perfectly okay...

if your UZR and RZR shows you have little ‘range.’

Whatever he lacks in range, he makes up for with scrappiness and hustle.

I get picked off first base at bars a lot, though.

I’m working on that.

I realize you meant base...

but I assume your subconscious is taking you back to getting picked off at first numerous times at Roxy’s.

No, I was always very successful at Roxy's.

There must be a joke in there somewhere about finding

a woman with small hands……..but, I won’t go there.

Have you

ever seen a pack of season tickets surround an unsuspecting scalper? It isn’t pretty.

by CubFan81 on Apr 9, 2009 4:54 PM CDT up reply actions

yeah but for awhile there, the ticket population got out of control...

…so now when they reach a certain age, all tickets are required to report to the nearest sporting facility to be “fixed”. Used to be quite painful in the old days where barely-trained unlicensed personnel would just reach out and r-r-r-rip the tickets, leaving nothing but a stub.

Thankfully, technological advances in modern medicine have resulted today in most facilities using a scanner device to render said ticket unable to re-admit. PETT and Bob Barker were quite pleased…

They still do this at certain, antiquated movie theaters.

It’s a horrific spectacle. I say we organize a protest.

Wrenching this back on topic...

…. as of 9:30 pm CDT there are scattered singles in the terrace reserve.

Keep checking, because they may release more tomorrow.

Tickets are not available together in the quantity you requested in this section at this time.

At least there’s no VWR kickback.

Since this came up before the opener in Houston....

is anyone up for a pre-game beer or something on Monday?

Hope

I hope a few people got some tickets because they saw this.

Would love to meet some of the BCBers before or after the game but since I will have the kids with me will probably for me be just hi im ctsby100 aka kow how are you? and run.

I’ll be wearing the Jay Cutler jersey I bought yesterday. Not only excited about Cutler but I fit into a Large. Guys 18 months ago I was a 4×. Because I am gifted so to speak in the chest department will never fit into less than a large.

Jay is our Quarterback. Also please note my email has changed on my profile anyone who sometimes sends me emails.
