Or if I can handle the really creepy thought that the Blue Monster was inhabiting Wool E. Bull (we're crossing into "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" territory here). Or if we should just celebrate the "idea" of Wool E. Bull. In any case, thanks to anonymous for letting us know that we were right. Our best to both Wool E. Bull and the Blue Monster. Look forward to seeing them back in form next week.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-59457319730961806032010-05-14T21:44:01.977-04:002010-05-14T21:44:01.977-04:00You are correct Wool E.

So Wool E. sat in front of us waiting. First off, he's hard to see around. But second, I started asking him if he'd ever win one aside from on his birthday. But since my wife is an NC State grad, I made the comment that he can only beat Mr. and Ms. Wolf. To which Wool E. nodded.<br /><br />However, being a Maryland grad, I had a Maryland shirt on at the time, and Wool E. started to get on me about slow turtles.

"Are you Wool E. Bull?" is very different than "Were you Wool E. Bull?" <br /><br />My strangest Wool E. Bull (the E stands for Education, you know) interaction was in the playoffs last year when he spend a couple of games sitting next to me (he decided it was his "lucky seat" which he went so far as to label with a sign) and pretty much the entire time refused to let me put down my beer. Every time I tried to put it down he would physically grab my arm and put it back on the beer and a couple of times even tried to force the drink to my face.DRRnoreply@blogger.com
