Sellout Streak

[knapplc]

Soooo...if you planned on showing up but could not so instead decided to sell your ticket, does that screw up our sell-out?

You didn't hear, we are moving the stadium to another solar system before that happens

 

Well... technically, there is no other solar system. "Solar system" is the proper name for the star system in which the Earth is located. (Solar = The Sun, our particular star). There are other star systems, of course.

 

This is important to clarify, because I wouldn't want to botch the plans for Memorial Stadium relocation. How embarrassing would it be if our sellout streak ended because of such a simple mistake!?!

 

 

(Sorry; just really wanted to get in on this super awesome thread.)

Are these other "star systems" sold-out?

These last three pages deserve a round of applause, but of course it's not a "complete round" of applause because not everyone will be clapping.

Having broken four bones and three fingers on my left hand I'm clapping but not with both hands. Does that count as a clap or a no clap?

Well done. This thread is very koan-like. "If we redefine 'sellout' at will, when can the sellout streak begin or end?"

 

I couldn't find the Simpsons clip on youtube, so this will do:

 

Lisa: I want you to shut off the logical part of your mind.

Bart: Okay.

Lisa: Embrace nothingness.

Bart: You got it.

Lisa: Become like an uncarved stone.

Bart: Done.

Lisa: Bart, you're just pretending to know what I'm talking about!

Bart: True.

Lisa: Well, it's very frustrating!

Bart: I'll bet.

Lisa: What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Bart: Piece of cake. [claps with one hand, fingers to palm]

Lisa: No, Bart, it's a 3000-year-old riddle with no answer.

It's supposed to clear your mind of conscious thought.

Bart: No answer? Lisa, listen up! [claps with one hand]

We have to keep this alive until our sellout streak ends.

posting to keep the streak alive

We have to keep this alive until our sellout streak ends.

Apparently, since brokers and others had purchased tickets but had not used them for past games, our sellout streak either already ended or never was???

 

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound?

our streak was never there.

Bump... Ticket brokering "scalping" is legal in Nebraska, because of the football games being sold out... Or not, anyway I think they have a law allowing it, or not, depends on how you define.... Oops my head just exploded, and for some reason I cant stop posting...

Good entertainment today!

 

If you need any other proof about what a sellout is (and I know all but one person does not), NFL games are blacked out locally unless they are sold out. The B****** is lifted once all tickets are sold. They do not go around the stadium and make sure there aren't a bunch of scalpers selling tickets and then lift the B****** if they don't find any.

 

I do remember stories of the sellout being in danger in the early 90s. We had a couple of down years, and I think visiting teams returned some tickets that weren't snapped up. IIRC, a couple of times a bank bought up the remaining tickets. I don't recall the source so I don't know if this is really true. Anyone else remember?
