YaneA Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Time to post ideas for signs for the Alaska series. Some ideas, in the McDonald's genre, were posted earlier in a different thread. If I can find them, I'll copy them here. Let's hear your ideas. Since Saturday night is 80s Night at the Ralph, I thought that might make a good theme. So, these are the ideas that came to me right away. Penalty Box: [two Seawolves in the box] Demented & Sad...But Social Really Low Tolerance for Dehydration Neo Maxi Zoom Dweebie "Strike Hard! Strike Fast! No Mercy, Sir!"--The Hockey Kid [not necessarily referencing any former Sioux player] Pushing Maximum Density The Brat Pack starring in "St. Elmo's Fire" The Matt Pack starring in "St. Deano's Choir" or, along the same lines: The Matt Pack: Got Game The Bratt Pack: Got Lame Here's some of the McDonald's stuff: "Alaska Fats" A drawing in which the goalie cage looks like a golden arch with the caption, "Chris: We love to see you miss by a mile" [remember the old Mickey D's slogan "We Love to See You Smile"?] Or, a sign directed to Chris, asking the question, "Don't Your McNuggets Get Cold In Anchorage, Too?" Or, a picture of the Lost Boy (Fournier) with the caption, "What Really Killed the McDLT" [fits in with the 80s Night theme since McDLT was marketed about 1985] or "What Really Killed the McLean Deluxe" [that was Mickey D's attempt at a lower fat burger that nobody wanted to eat, circa early 90s] Or, "You Deserve a Breakaway...but You'll Fan on the Shot" [would student-age types be too young to remember the jingle "You Deserve a Break Today"?] Quote
ScottM Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 How about a sign that reads: "Sioux Hockey: Wimps need not apply" with a picture of Fatty? Quote
siouxcool Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Possible Sign(s)? French FRY! Fournier French Fried Fournier! Quote
SiouxFanInBoston Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 This may be lame, but you never know what someone else might be able to do with the concept, at least. (It has nothing to do with Big Macs or Chris F. -- sorry). See Zach Shoot. See Zach Score. Sea Wolves Cry. (Or Sea Zach Shoot. Sea Zach Score. Sea Wolves Cry). Quote
SiouxFanInBoston Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 And, we can't forget: [Three signs held next to each other] Sioux Nation: Land of the Free Home of the World's MVP Quote
Diggler Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 There has to be a sign for Zach, Brady and Drew. Someone needs to go to White Castle and get a Crave Case Side of Beef - It's what for Dinner Hey Fournier call 1-800-94-Jenny Chris, Even Richard Simmons can't help you (whoever it was that got hit with the sign during the series last year), Watch out for falling signs. Five Chin Fournier [Like the pie eating contest scene in Stand by Me] Boom Babba Boom Babba Boom Seperated at Birth? Quote
YaneA Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 M U rray Pari S e St A fford [i'm sure my formatting screwed up but the idea is to use a letter from each name to spell out vertically U-S-A.] Gold Minors Fournier: Still doing the Unskinny Bop? Skate for 8 America, the Golden Now Playing "The Lords of the Rink: The Return of the Kings" U.S. Switches to the Gold Standard The Golden Rule! Sioux Get the Gold Mine; Anchorage [or Canada?] Gets the Shaft Quote
YaneA Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 As much fun as this is...and there are some great ideas here...are we sure there are going to be students in the lower bowl willing to hold up the signs? Forecheck, Redwing, NorthStar? For previous series, I've gone way overboard with the sign-making and as a result some never saw the light of the Ralph. Looking for some guidance here: after we decide which ones we like best, how many should I make? Anyone, besides the usual suspects, willing to hold up a sign? If you are, I'll make the one you prefer and bring it to your seat, after fighting my way through security. Assuming this is do-able, let's decide on the short list of signs by tomorrow. I'll have enough time left then to make maybe 6 or 8. Of course, if anyone else wants to make signs, from our unused list or on their own, the more the merrier. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I'd say in the 6 or 8 range probably. Quote
#1GreeneFan Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 So should i wear my McDonalds uniform on Friday night?? Quote
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 How about a sign relating to catfish? I just read what Fournier said about fishing in GF compared to salmon fishing in Alaska. Try the Catfish How was/is the Catfish Quote
YaneA Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 Could be cannibalistic, one bottom-dweller dining on another. Quote
Diggler Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Seeing as so many people are getting their shorts in a bunch over what Parise said: 2004 WJC > Miracle on Ice Quote
YaneA Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 Gentle Readers: Feel free to start voting at any time. Copy & paste your favorites in your posting with the notation, "Gimme these." No fuss, no muss, no hanging chads. The sooner I can get some idea of which signs you want to see, the sooner I can get started on them. Still waiting to hear whether I will have any sign lifters in the lower bowl. Where are my student assistants? Quote
Diggler Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Students will be in the lower bowl. I think she is going to be on the glass though, instead of her regular spot. That way her Big Mac Costume will be much more visible. redwing said he is gonna be late, so I don't know where he'll be. Quote
YaneA Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 Diggler: Are you referencing Forecheck? As long as I can find one student sign lifter in the crowd, I'll assume he or she can find the others. Just need a seat number before game time so I can drop off the signs. Quote
Diggler Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I'm a goof. I can't believe I left the sentance out about forecheck. Yes, I was talking about her. I'm supposed to try to get her and morley seats or something so, we should be around section 108 row A, on the penalty box. Quote
01grad Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 first, IONA then, FAIRFIELD now, FINDLAY is ALASKA next??? I tried looking up the definition of what a seawolf was and it couldn't be found. They must be an extinct species, hey maybe Fournier ate them all? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Anyone know the music-sound guy at REA? How about a tune just for Fournier's big dream .... "Cheeseburger in Paradise" Quote
YaneA Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 I believe the "Seawolf" is a mythical creature, like a dragon, a mermaid or the Loch Ness Monster. Quote
Diggler Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I like Sicatoka's and 01grad's ideas. I think they'd make good signs and in a much better way then I can think of. Founrier's favorite song? Cheeeburger in Paradise. What do a Seawolf and The Fournier diet have in common? Neither exists Quote
redwing77 Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Anyone remember the tuna cans? Chicken of the Sea? Founrier: Chicken of the Sea...Wolves Lame, but it's better than the Fournier- "I'm Lovin' it" Quote
