Damm Inlaws...........LOL

I just wanted to share an ongoing battle I have had over the years with my Brother-in-law(hereafter referred to as the EBIL, evil brother-in-law) who lives in Minneappolis, Minnesota.  

It started when I married my wife 13 years ago.  The EBIL started giving me heck about my Broncos all the time even though his Vikings weren't the greatest back then either.  I always got phone calls whenever the Broncos lost.  Keep in mind it was lighthearted fun stuff and has remained that way ever since.  Anyway, I started to return the favor whenever possible.  Whenever the Vikings lost he would get a phone call, if he wasn't home I would use up the entire message time going on and on about how awful the vikings were.  The pranks started in 2001, the EBIL and his family were out here in Colorado visiting and he was running his mouth as usual about the decline of my beloved Broncos.  Well, one afternoon when we were running around town so our wives could shop, I ran across some Bronco sticker packets.  I managed to buy them without him seeing me and when we got back home, I stuck them all over his company laptop.  Then later on we asked him to look something up on the internet for us so we could all see his reaction.  It was priceless.  LOL 

We live on a ranch in SE Colorado and have chickens, it was the chickens that provided his opportunity to get even with me.  He managed to catch one of the white ones and spray painted it purple and yellow.  He was pretty proud of himself and I vowed to get even.  One of his sons wore a Randy Moss jersey.  One evening I got into his son's suitcase and stole the jersey, wrote loser and other unkind words pertaining to Mr. Moss in permanant marker.  The next day the kid was all upset so I offered to replace the jersey.  I took the kid to town and bought him a much better jersey than he had before, an Eddie Mac jersey. 

LOL, other than the phone calls, the fued stayed right there until the next visit from the EBIL and his family.  About 2004 they were out to see us one summer and he painted my cattle working chute purple and yellow.  I let that one go as he was on his toes and waiting for me to pull something.  I bided my time and the next winter when we were out visiting the EBIL, I got to know one of his neighbors pretty well and offered to pay him once every few months to apply a Broncos bumper sticker to the EBIL's car.  The neighbor agreed and so every few months I get a call from the EBIL trying to figure out how I am getting this done. 

LOL I have a master plan to end it once and for all but I need the Broncos to win the Super Bowl again.  Since he lives in the city, I think this plan will be the final humiliation for him.  I intend to paint an adult chicken blue and orange and have it shipped right to his office where he is a claims manager for progressive.  I have checked this out thoroughly and it can be done, all I need is for the Broncos to win the Super Bowl again.  So the sooner our Broncos can win it the better, that'll be a great year!!!!!!!!! 

I would be interested to hear about anybody elses personal prank battles in defense of out beloved Broncos.

Didn’t write this very well as far as organized writing, I’m new to the format tools.

No sweat. I'll fix it for you (give me a few minutes).

In the meantime, try out the large “P” icon in the upper left side of the fanpost box you prepared your post in. Use it wherever you want to start a new paragraph. Let me know if you need more help figuring it out.

Be carefull with the chicken

I did something similar once and the chicken deficated all over a light creme carpet and made an unintended mess that was diffcult to clean up.

No personal pranks

But I did spend four years in Kansas City as an undergrad…and did my best to annoy the Chef fans as much as possible. Things like running out to the dorm common room waving a Broncos flag when they scored, or joining up with other Bronco fans at SB parties to REALLY hammer things home (and making people wear Broncos jerseys after they won!)

Not a prank, but...

a couple guys we tailgate with for road games were heading from CO to St. Louis for the Broncos season opener in 2006. 12th Man (his screen name on Orangemane) has a Chevy (Corsica?) that he painted Bronco-blue, has “12TH MAN” Colorado plates, a Broncos flag flying out the window, and SUPER BOWL CHAMPS XXXII and XXXIII painted on his back bumper.

While driving through KC in the rain on their way to St. Louis, some Chiefs fans in a red pick-up truck ran them off the road and into the guardrail. There was some damage to the car, but not as serious as it could have been. They still made to the game in time, but it’s unbelievable how stupid some people can be over an NFL rivalry. Not that you’re personal prank war is stupid. At least no one can get seriously hurt with what you’re doing.

Another note about KC fans, a woman once kicked Barrel Man down the aisle at Arrowhead years ago.

Well, they knew I'd buy him another Moss jersey if he was really that tore up about it. LOL

The player who thinks he can and the player who knows he can are two different players, which one are you???

Chicken eh?

Without him knowing, I would have killed that Viqueen chicken and fried it for dinner. Made sure EBIL knew which one it was when he was sucking on a thigh! Maybe whipped up some Packer potatoes on the side.

har har har!
