I'm moving down the road from Lincoln to Omaha to be closer to my job, which is a good thing now since gas prices are rising to insane levels. My brother, Bill, commented to me that he'd like for us to go to a Nebraska football game this year as a kind of twin-brother bonding thing "since you're moving!" he exclaimed as if he was actually crying, but wasn't.
I said sure, but that Dad hadn't mentioned anything about getting tickets from his brother this year so I wasn't sure if we'd be able to go to any games.
Yesterday, I see a thread on a local Husker football message board that informs me that there are still some tickets available for purchase for the NU/Pitt game coming up in three weeks.
I call up Bill and tell him so.
His response, "Well, I don't want to pay for it!"
And he calls me cheap. He'll try to tell you that it's because his wife is starting a new job and things are tight, but admit it, Bill. You've got a little of the cheap in you. We are twins after all...
See the original Bill calling me cheap story here...
I guess I've always had a problem with a lot of movies, music, tv shows and other entertainment that a lot of people love. I'm looking forward to ruining your favorite things.
