I'm gonna disappoint you here. I know I will. But a sense of duty drives me into this confessional mode. I've never watched a Rose Bowl in my life, 'xept the time my kid sister drenched the kids' john in cheap hand lotion. (Yuck. An honest bowel movement smelled better, at least to an eight-year-old boy. So of course I immediately set to balancing the bathroom's odor spectrum. In a valiant contest with the heartbreak of Juvenile Constipation.) So, being football-illiterate, I can't tell the tale. Were the pictures upside down, badly arranged, or what? >Who is his wife?< She is a woman of great mystery known hereabouts only as Loving Spouse, or LS for the keyboard-unmotivated. If you want a demonstration of the innate coolness of the universe, here it is: She puts up with me.

It was UCLA's card section. The Techies had posed as student journalists and interviewed the designer of the card stunts. Then, having learned how it was to be done, they ran off new instruction sheets and replaced UCLA's original instructions with their own. The first couple of figures went normally, then "Caltech" came up instead of "UCLA". The next figure was another Techie one, and then the card section descended into chaos. A great stunt. I take it that you must also know about Senior Day at Caltech, where underclassmen have been known to disassemble a car and reassemble it in some unfortunate senior's room, motor running.
