As many of you know going on 3 years now I was a pretty regular visitor on the Buckyville site. Schnauzer and several others chastised me for trolling on the site and as Schnauzer said : " making an ass out of myself " ( rightly so ) Now many of you probably think I still make an ass out of myself on this site. At least I keep it local! Anyway, when I was on the Buckyville site the tit for tat that went on I started referring it too Beckyville because the way the mascot prances around it looked like it might be a little lite in the shoes. The Winter 3 years ago we were staying on the 30A
corridor in the Florida Panhandle. My wife and I love the golfing in that area, so on one particular day we booked a tee time at Windswept Dunes, a links type course in Freeport, Florida. They put us with another couple and much to my chagrin the couple were dressed to the nines in full Becky gear; including matching golf bags. As we approached them my wife leaned over and said: " Now honey be nice " They were a couple I would say in their late 50's and after general introductions seemed pretty nice. I just couldn't resist. I looked at the mascot logo on the bag and said: Isn't that
Becky Badger"? They replied: "Oh, no,no, no. That's Bucky Badger" So about 4 holes later I said: " How is Becky going to do this year" ? His wife chuckled and again said: Hee,hee, ha, ha. It's Bucky!
I said: "Oh, yeh,yeh. I mean Bucky" As we're driving down the fairway my wife says: "Honey, stop it.
I know what you're trying to do" They were really a nice couple and started telling us about their kids all graduating from Wisconsin. I said: "Are they big Becky fans like you are"? Oh yes they replied, not even acknowledging I had referenced "Becky " again. My wife rolled her eyes. I casually
repeated it one more time in regards to where they got the golf bags. Again, the "Becky" reference
rolled right over their heads. My wife and I both have Gopher golf bags and we indicated our strong
U of M support and yet they were so naive on my jerking their chain. My wife said as we were pulling out of the parking lot: " I can't believe you got away with that without some retaliation"
I said: " Yup, not the sharpest knives in the drawers, or they were the turn the other cheek type "
Funny thing, they wanted to hook up with us again. If we had, the husband might have figured it out and drilled me. He was a pretty big dude. True story folks.
