Old-timey rabble rousers
« on: November 13, 2010, 09:12:13 PM »
Watching "Baseball" and was reminded of how often unhappy spectators used to throw eggs, fruit, vegetables, etc. WTF? This stuff couldn't have been fresh/edible or else they wouldn't have thrown it... Which suggests that anybody who went to a sporting, musical, political or theatrical event from antiquity until the 1960's carried with them a spoiled, putrid sack of rotting food -- just in case. :confused:

Guess they still do this at nubb. Vehement denials, of course, but everybody knows Nebraskans aren't smart/wealthy enough to trust. :barf:

Havs? Ever been hit by a Nubb Sandwich?*





*(two slices of spoiled rye bread, fermenting tomato, rotten corn grits, spoiled lettuce, in that order. They serve these all over Omaha. Or some just throw piping hot Runzas which honestly is worse)
