Fashion Dos and Don’ts
Here’s a little haute coutre tip from your good friend Phil: if you are planning on walking around town wearing the Virginia Tech sweatshirt your proud alum wife bought you, it is probably unwise to do so on the day the university boots Marcus Vick off the football team. At least, it is unwise to do so unless you want to have many, many conversations with total strangers about Marcus Vick.
And most of those conversations began thusly:
Total Stranger: Hey, your school just kicked Marcus Vick off the football team!
Me: UC San Diego has a football team? When the hell did that happen?
Total Stranger: [backing away slowly]
Come to think of it, many conversations I have with total strangers end that way.

Reading through that list of likely Triton Football opponents, I momentarily thought that it included the "Colorado School of Mimes." That would be a game I'd pay to see. I imagine they don't call a lot of audibles.
Then I realized that it actually said "School of Mines," and I decided that wouldn't be nearly as good of a game. More than likely, the university would claim the team was coming to San Diego, but none of the players would show up except for one severely retarded cornerback.
