Pee Your Pants for the Brewers

OK, At 47 years old I sometimes am pompous enough to believe that I've seen everything, but once again, I have been proven wrong.

This time my proof comes from not only the world of baseball, but from a world where cheese is God and the state boasts that they are the number one state for morbid obesity. But don't get me wrong. I love Wisconsin and the people there. But this one just has me scratching my head.

The Milwaukee Brewers have gotten off to one of their greatest starts in franchise history and they hometown fans are talking World Series, even though the season is just over a month old. There have already been 420 fans to already pledge their allegiance to the cause, and the number grows every day.

These wacky fans have pledged to pee their pants for a Brewers championship.

You think I'm joking? I can only wish that I was. From their website:

"The idea originally sprouted two years ago when the Brewers were decent. In hopeful discussions about finally reaching the Promised Land, my brother couldn't imagine what would happen if the Brewers made the playoffs. He thought he would pee his pants and then promised to do so."

Even women are encouraged to participate:

"The Brewers need female fans to pledge too. So if you love the Brewers, and I know there are a lot of you out there, you can pledge to pee your capris or skorts, or pants whatever, just support the Brew Crew."

Now that's class. You can tell that these people take the dishes out of the kitchen sink before they pee in it, at least move them out of the way. A true sign of class in Wisconsin. As evidenced by the following suggested method:

"Head down to the nearest watering hole with some buddies. Drink as much Miller Lite or PBR until you have no chance but to pee your pants. Don't change your pants. Go out for an awesome night."

And this suggestion, for me anyway is a great reason not to go see a game live, unless you like the smell of urine:

"Hopefully the Brewers will clinch their first playoff spot in 24 years with a win at Miller Park. Go the Park with some of your bestest friends and pee your pants at the moment we officially clinch. If we can get a 1000 or so fans at Miller Park to do this simultaneously it would be the world's largest collective pants-peeing party since Mount Sinai's 10 buses were late picking up all the players from Seniors Night at Potawatomi Bingo."

They even take a poke at MY hometown Chicago:

"Fail to pee your pants this year, but promise that next year will be the year you finally pee your pants."

OK, I like that one. But I like this one even more:

"Telling everyone how great you are going to be at peeing your pants, failing miserably and then blaming your failure on a goat."

But they have, as always, left themselves an out.

"The Brewers collapsed down the stretch last year and despite having two chances to finish the season with a winning record, they lost both games and ended the season in the limbo of a non-losing and non-winning season."
