Wedding Festivus Football Memories

A story from one of our loyal readers...

As the morning fog burned off on Sunday morning, there was a little surprise among the gifts: The infamous Football Stadium Bundt Cake Pan.

“Dan, we know this isn’t on the registry, but we know you wished it was,” said Michael P. But there was a story behind the old bundt cake pan.

Dan, the 25-year-old comedian from Birmingham, was a bit sneaky during the zap-phase of registering at Williams-Sonoma. While his lovely bride-to-be was distracted by some measuring cups, Dan turned the zap gun towards the pan.

“I was laughing as I sneaked it into the list,” said Young Dan. But there would be another turn to this story.

“Honestly, I was just doing some clean-up, and didn’t know it was a football stadium-shaped,” said Lisa of her dropping the pan from the official list. However, anonymous sources claim the omission could have been “intentional.”

One source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said, “Lisa loves basketball, not football... doesn’t this seem suspicious?”

The happy couple’s enthusiasm grew as Lisa opened “her” bundt cake pan from Brian and Alex. The irony here is that Brian and Alex attended the University of Alabama. Conspiracy theorists were having a field day with this piece of information.

I'm not gonna lie, this is actually one cool piece of cookware if you must be in the kitchen on gameday. Click on the link to get the product details. Enjoy! NordicWare Platimun Series Stadium Bundt Cake Pan

Welcome back to Fearless!

Welcome back to Fearless Prognostications! A few of you undoubtedly have been here before. What started as a weekly comical email turned into a website in 2004, then drifted off a bit into obscurity. There were a couple of career moves, one wedding, and a few other intersting tidbits called "life" along the way.

Anyway, we're excited to be bringing this comedy back in 2007. When last we spoke, we were generating a few thousand visitors a week - and I expect no less this time around!

You'll notice one of the Links on this page is for the Garry Betty Foundation. Garry was the CEO of EarthLink for more than a decade - he was also a former supervisor for me and one of the Prognostications' biggest fans. Weekly, he'd come by my office and tell me my picks were "total bullsh-t," and that his esteemed Yellow Jackets would indeed put points on the board. Garry passed away from cancer last December - please do visit the link to see how you can help grow his foundation.

Our goal here is to laugh, and not get to carried away by the truth. If you want the latest stats, go to CNN or ESPN. If you want to laugh your ass off, visit Fearless Prognostications frequently.

Cheers,
Dan
