When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Today was our Homecoming football game at Bishop's, so of course we had to make the trek down to Lennoxville to take part in the festivities. When I was a student at Bishop's, cheering on the Gaiters at football games was an excuse to drink in public, to dress weird, and to spew profanity at the opposing team, the referees, and each other. It seems that nothing has changed. We used to throw on as much purple as we could find, head over to Coulter field, and drink the afternoon away while screaming things like: "The ref beats his wife! The ref beats his wife!", and "Stop that kick, stop that punt, kick that cheerleader in the - GAITERS GAITERS."

Going back is always strange, but all in all we had a pretty good time - the profanity was at a minimum, for some reason, and there was no streaker this year, which was a big disappointment. Also, the actual football part hasn't changed - we still suck. We lost like 31-17 or something like that. There was only one guy on the team who seemed to be doing anything at all - everytime they did something good you would hear ".....by #32, Jamal Lee!!!!!" Jamal is my hero.

Also, I have never seen quite so many people peeing in public. As we left our neighborhood in Montreal, we saw some random guy peeing right outside The Bay. This should have been an indicator as to how our day would go. Next, we saw a car pulled over on the side of the highway, with a buy peeing in the ditch. While at the game, we spotted a guy all the way across the field who peed on an RDS (French sports television) scaffolding, and then went back to the stands to watch the game. On our way to the car after the game, we saw two guys wrestling on a lawn, then they jumped up and ran toward some bushes. There was a guy peeing there, I'm assuming it was a friend of theirs, and they pushed him over mid-pee. Then they all proceeded to pee together. Then, on our way home, we saw another car on the highway pulled over, and another guy peeing onto the side of the road.

It almost makes me wish I was a boy.
