#882 Dougbert Shackleton’s Rules for Antarctic Tailgaiting-
Karen Russell
This is a pretty hilarious satire of sports and extreme
fandom. You think tailgating at a warm weather football game is being a
hard-core fan? Imagine being at the south pole for the “Food-Chain Games.” Only
the hardiest of the hardy can make it here.
Like the title suggests, this is a suggested list of rules
for how to survive competitive tailgaiting in the harshest climates. It’s not
that there might be fatalities, its that if there are, make sure you bury them
in the proper container…nobody likes a litterbug!
“Be prepared to see a black-nosed victim of frostbite; a
boatload of probable cannibals, suspiciously fat and sheepish in their snug
parkas; a scurvy-riddled tailgater in a lifeboat, vestless and begging
oranges.”
