Lampoonery
ByBird Mineola
Have you eviler ll On Siniday one
village curlier dropped a dime at the arena and it rolled
away, far away. After much ado about the cam, it was
given up for lost. The "looseernatilmd to the effect
than "1 beet hate to a let ieig' 9 I willrenienober Bitforalong time. I remember when I was a
little girl and I lit a change purse in chum. There
wasn't mach mosey in it but it was such a mate little
purse. I've always remembered that".
A memory for ten cents. Cheap at half the price. 1
• remeinber when it used to be, "A penny for your
thoughts!" Nothing is sacred why inflation is con -
+I$
wasn't that a ? A while ago I jot-
ted down a little ditty about Pat's new boots and it
found its way into my cohmon That's not much of a
story, is it? Well, here's what happened after the fact
A certain villager has a out in the boondocks
of northern Manitoba. This pen pal has requested that
the villager send her some paintings of a particular ar-
tist, whose name isn't so important to this story_
However, forging onward, the paintings were procured
and in the process of wrapping them for shipping, our
villager used the above mentioned issue of News -
_ Record.. Upon receiviRg the pts the pen FNR .
(realizing the `Bugle' was of- superior quality) careful-
ly unwrapped them and read the paper_
Whereupon reaching the poem she exclaimed, " I
knew him when we both lived in London_" Now, that's a
coincidence. It is a small world afteralL
And what of Pat? When told the story, he
remembered the woman as well and it's been 11 years
since he moved to Bayfield_ How she connected a Pat
G. from London and one from Bayfield we might never
know, but the fact remains, she was right and must
have a beck of a memory.
Some say that "news travels quickly", others say "it
travels in mysterious ways".

Lastly, we must preview the "Supper Bowl". I say
"supper" rather than "super", because it takes a
whole day to build TV fans into a fever pitch, before the
game comes on. Then at suppertime you can watch
them play while you eat a 'bowl' of soup or something
•similar.
On the other hand, instead of pronouncing it "SUP-
PER BOLE", you might say, "SOO-PER BOW -EL".
Does it really make any difference?
Who won the previous bowl games? Who is playing
this year? Who would have been playing if nobody had
lost a game this season? Who will be playing next year
or six years from now? Who is Howard Cosell? What
quarterback threw a touchdown pass in the 1960 Omni
Bowl? What player fell down 14 times in the third
quarter of the Army-Navy game in 1862? ,For the
answers to these important questions and much more
trivia, justfiine in on Sunday afternoon and listen in si$
hours of 'pre -game prattle'. Maybe `bow -el' is the pro-
per pronunciation.
I've indulged in viewing the seemingly never-ending
string of playoff games this year with breathless ex-
pectations. Fumbles, interceptions, dropped passed,
offsides, missed field goals and almost every game
was a lopsided victory. Who says American football is
superior to the Canadian version? It looks like a carbon
copy of the 1980 Grey Cup game to me. If only we had
Howard Cosell and "one for the Giffer" in the CFL.
It's, too cold to be playing football in January
anyhow. There's three feet of snow on the ground! Next
thing you know, they'll' be wanting to play soccer in-
doors.
Fooled you didn't I? Never mentioned "Buckeye"
once this week!

In our opinion
Eagles,all the way
By Bud Sturgeon
-ha Our Opinion" is a
new column which will
appear from time to time in
the pages d :tae Bayfield
Bugle_ Village residents are
polled, at random, car both
topical and non -topical
questions from any subject
area The opniionsexpressed
within do not necessarily
reflect the view of the editor_
If you have a question about
Bayfield, the world, sports or
any topic you would hie an
opinion pall on, contact Bud
Sturgeon at 565-2852 and it
will appear forthwith.
For week number one of
our experiment, we are
asking the easy question, "In
your opinion .... who is going
to win the Super Bowl this
Sunday?
The answers:
1. Who's playing? ... well,
whoever Drew Pearson
plays for will win because
my grandson is named after
him _.. oho well, if it's Oakland
and Philadelphia playing, I
think Oakland will win
because they have a better
record, don't they? -DJ
2_ I kind of like
Philadelphia but they didn't
play all that well in the first
half last weekend_ - BG
3. Philadelphia by six but it
will be a close one. - PG
4_ I would even hate to try
and guess! -KB
5. Super what? - DS
6. In my opinions, the green
guys will win because I like
their gams noel the Ii4ak
and Silver gays aren't so
goof - HL
7_ I don't know but I'm
hoping for Oakland because
Philadelphia wins
everything ... it's the lesser
of two evils because I wanted
Dallas and San Diego to play
. - TW.
8. Whoever gets the most
points' ... no, I've been
touting the Philadelphia
Eagles for the past three or
four years and they will win
it -MM •
So from u a eight people
polled this week, 2 were anon -
committal, . 2 i ere for
Oakland and the remaining 4
were for hike Philadelphia
Eagles_ Although ,uke eight
people were not necessarily
football fans, the conclusion
is clear, the Eagles all the
way. I wouldn't make book
on it though!
