Corvallis, Oregon, Reaches for It’s True Potential

Kim Hastings Humor

Hello friends. It’s good to talk with you again. As most of you know, I retired from FishDuck.com some time ago. I am enjoying the warm weather in my retirement community. The neighbors speak with an accent, making communication difficult. But that will come with time.

I knew I made some enemies in my time with FishDuck. I didn't know Husky fans had this kind of clout.

Not long ago I was reading a magazine someone had smuggled, via their rectum, into the retirement community. In it, I read Corvallis Makes List of Drunkest Towns in America at No. 20

Well sir, I couldn’t let such a thing go unremarked upon! Corvallis! You as a city must …

What? You think I’m suggesting Corvallis sober up? On the contrary! The last time I was in Corvallis this was my lunch …

Just from the pointlessness of the place

No, I am here to tell the good people (should any be found) of the City of Corvallis that you can do better. 20th place! Hell, no! You can be Top 15! You can be Top 10! There’s no reason you can’t win the prize! Make Ireland look like a bunch of teetotalers. Make Pullman look Amish!

How can Corvallis do the Watermelon Crawl up the drunken ladder to national prominence? It won’t be hard. Just follow a few steps as laid out at the last FishDuck.com staff convention in Fiji.

1. A New Name for Reser Stadium: We came up with a number of good ones. MD 20/20 Field. Thunderbird Coliseum. But we settled on:

Because who wouldn't want to attend a football game at a stadium extolling both cheap booze and questionable dating practices?

2. A More Accurate “Brand” For Your Cheerleaders. The Ducks have the market cornered on class and pure beauty.

Hello, Amanda. How are you?

So Corvallis has to make their own way toward the image they truly wish to portray.

3. A New Mayor: Since this is an election season, what better time to burnish Corvallis’ reputation as the Beer Fart Capital of the Pacific Northwest?

Psst. Mayor Parker. It's time for your staff meeting.

For the Exciting 2024 Football Season….

We will be publishing between four and six articles per week during the football season, as we skip Saturdays with all the distraction of GameDay for us. Check through the week, and in particular check for Analysis articles on most Fridays.

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!
