As a member of the local Boy Watcher’s Society, I
present this treatise on my observations of the football
player (ootfay allbay ay pay lay or ? ! ? ).
To aid in the identification of the ? ! ?, the follow
ing information is pertinent. His plumage is varied, locally
black and gold. His calls are easily recognized, primarily,
the “wolf whistle,” but frequently consisting of numbers.
In weight, he varies from 123 to 235 pounds locally. His
eyes may be blue or brown, but are frequently black. His
skin is thought to be boy-colored, but what with mud,
blood, and bruises—ugh!—who is sure?
Where ? ? ? Hangs Out
? ! ? may be found around football fields, locker
rooms, and girls. He sleeps in classrooms.
In addition I have found that certain groups espec
ially appreciate ? ! ?. These include girls to whom he
pays much attention, girls to whom he pays no attention,
coaches, the rest of the team, cheerleaders, and fans.
Certain groups do not like ? ! ?, especially girls to
whom he pays no attention and the opposing team.
What ? ? ? Likes
f
? ! ? likes himself and girls—mainly cheerleaders,
food, football, to win, to talk about himself, and to talk
about football.
Things that the ? ! ? doesn’t like include homework,
girls that run after him, girls that don’t run after him,
and to lose.
