Mrs. Pig and I (and a few hundred other GPISD invitees) had dinner tonight with Hall of Fame QB Roger Staubach. The occasion was a Character Recognition Banquet for GPISD. Roger is friends with our Superintendent and spoke for free. There was also both a silent auction and a live auction. The live auction included, among other things, footballs signed by Staubach... Drew Pearson and Staubach... Tony Romo... and one signed by Super Bowl champs Roger Staubach, Tom Rafferty, Larry Brown, and... some Green Bay Packer guy (I can't remember, but he was on their Super Bowl winning team in 1997 - Doug Evans maybe?) - and those four guys were all in attendance. The Roger football and the one signed by both him and Drew went for $2000 each. All proceeds went to the GPISD Education Foundation, the oldest such organization in the state. The organization raises funds for scholarships and innovative teacher grants.

did you catch the pass?
Inmates were in attendence at a similar event in Waco. The Beakless Chicken was the speaker. He's friends with no one, but that didn't matter since no one could understand his unintelligible clucking anyway. An auction was held, but I don't think anybody wanted one of his signed balls (do chickens have balls?).
All proceeds went to the Homeless Ex-Chorus Girl With Big Boobs Foundation.
