Dude Looks Like a Lady, and I was Booed at the Humpty Dome

Brad Childress and the Vikings offense weren't the only ones who got booed yesterday at the Metrodome.

Fresh off my potty break in the Section 205 mens room in the Upper Deck, I was walking back to me seat, when two Miller Light Street team ladies, and large dude introduced to me as the Big Kuz summoned me.

"Hey you wanna go down to the field?"

"For real?"

"Ya, can you rock out to air guitar?"

"Yup"

Next thing I knew, Big Kuz (aka Aaron from Hopkins) and I were walking down to field level as competitors for the Best Buy, Air Guitar contest. We were laughing the whole time.

"This must be the battle of the big boys," we joked, knowing that between the two of us, we averaged 6'6" and many, many pounds of cold beer.

"Hey, what song are we supposed to be rocking out to this week?"

"Aerosmith's Dude Looks Like a Lady"

After a short time, we were walked to our place of battle; the corner of the Vikings entrance endzone. On the way, we were escorted by the Vikes bench, and I took the time to yell "encouragement" to the offensive line

"C'mon guys start blocking somebody!"

We got to meet all the mascots and some of the Vikings cheerleaders. We filled the standard Vikings contest paper work, and I congratulated the Skol drum Line crew for their great "chops" in the tailgate lot.

The next thing you know, we were being led to the field with Viktor the mascot and a line of Vikings Cheerleaders. We were introduced to the crowd.

Big Luz went first, and I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. He laid it all out on the line, totalled went going horizontal Rock Star on the bit. I felt like the Devil who went down to Georgia to get worked by Johnny. I knew It was over, but tried to come up with a plan to equal his air guitar skills.

Before I could think of anything, the my round of music started playing and instinct took over. I went as vanilla as the Vikings offense, and jumped around, flailing at the air stick with my hand. Within seconds, the grumpy Vikings fans started booing.

When the music ended, Big Luz and I did a traditional Big Guy belly bounce, and crashed backward on the turf. We shook hands. He got his $100 gift card, and I got a Best Buy Jersey. I apologized to everyone who I saw on our way, and congratulated the champ as we rode up the elevator.

The best part of that experience, was walking back up to section 205, and getting that mini-standing O from my peeps in the section. They totally had my back (just like the peeps from the lot). It was fun, and I didn't mind the boos. Hell, fans don't boo nobodies right?

Or wait, maybe they do? After all Coach Childress got booed on Sunday as well.
