Happy Birthday, FishDuck.com Style

Kim Hastings FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

This week is my wife’s birthday. She turns (#@#%* transmission garbled) years old. I wanted to get her the best birthday gift possible, so I did what any intelligent husband would do.

I asked her. My Mama didn't raise any dummies...my brothers notwithstanding.

I asked her. My mama didn’t raise any dummies … my brothers notwithstanding.

She said, “A trip to Hawaii sounds fun.”

My mirth was uncontrollabe.

My mirth was uncontrollable.

I would have to sell my body a jillion times over to finance a trip to Hawaii.

You can see the goods for a quarter. Final offer.

I could see she would be little help. So I called around to see if anyone else had any ideas.

Rick Neuheisel: The former coach at Colorado, Washington, and UCLA thought I should take whatever I have and buy into a basketball bracket game.

But my wager on Florida/Gulf Coast was, alas, a year to late.

Tyrone Willingham: The successful former coach at Stanford, Notre Dame, and especially Washington, was unavailable. He was cleaning Charles Fischer’s pool.

0-12 must be punished.

Later he can get started on the big pool.

Jameis Winston: The presumptive first pick in the NFL Draft was helpful … in his own way.

He had some left over.

But still I wondered what I could get for my wife that would make her really happy. Finally I hit on a plan.

I turned down the lights...

I turned down the lights …

Lit a couple of candles.

… lit a couple of candles …

Put on my finest masculine scent.

… put on my finest masculine scent …

… and whispered the words guaranteed to make a real woman leave claw marks on her man’s back.

"Spring football, baby. Four and a half months to go."

“Spring football, baby. Four and a half months to go.”

Works every time. Happy birthday, Jeri Deanne. Love, FishDuck.com. P.S. Charles is buying you a chinchilla coat.

New 2024 FishDuck Publishing Schedule….

During the off-season the FishDuck.com publishing schedule will consist of articles on Mondays and Tuesdays. Do keep checking as new articles could be published during the week when a writer has something to say.

In mid-August of 2024, we will go back to the seven-days-a-week of articles during the football season as we did in the football season of 2023.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
