Plywood_King 510 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Every man over the age of 35 has a slacker nephew that they just can't relate to. Today's music, fashion, and irrational interest in flavored water vapor that may or may not have nicotine or THC in it is beyond you, and while you're sure he's a good kid, times have left you behind and the only thing that you have in common is that you both have an AC/DC shirt in your closet because you both "used to like them when you were young and stupid." But one way or another, Christmas is coming and you have no idea what to get this brat, so while your wife browses Bed, Bath, and Beyond, the mall takes you to Spencer's Gifts to see what may be suitable to convince this kid that you're not completely out-of-touch. Then, you see it! You have no idea what it is, but it looks wicked awesome. The fact that it's sat on the shelf for so long that it's now listed at 75% off list price just means that he will be the only cat the block who has one. The label says it's an incense burner, which is super sweet, because every body knows that all the cool kids are into smoking things. So, he opens it, and of course, he hates it, but he pretends to like it before putting it in the closet and pretending like it doesn't exist. This is where the story gets complicated. Your nephew has a stepbrother, and the stepbrother is the black sheep of the family, mainly because he is constantly being unfairly compared to his two older biological brothers who are far more successful. It's not his fault, he just doesn't have the natural skills that his brothers have, but it's left him with a chip on his shoulder. So, every year, usually about the time the family opens up the closet to get out the Halloween decorations, he is reminded of the incense burner that his stepbrother has kept tucked away on the top shelf. Now, he doesn't really care about the incense burner, but if he can't one-up his older brothers, he might as well take something from his stepbrother; after all, he's had it for like three years and never shows it off! Meanwhile, your nephew really doesn't want that rejected prop piece from ABC's Dinosaurs, but the last thing he wants is to let that freshman annoyance that his mother married into the family get a hold of anything that is his. And thus, "The Battle for the Spencer's Gifts Clearance Sale Incense Burner" was born. Bulldog05, Jags52, Ryan4VT and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,148 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 This may be the longest opening post ever, or at least the longest with the ugliest trophy. Lol Ryan4VT and Chappy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 This just proves there is no winner when Marion and Tazewell play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally so ugly. It looks like something you’d see on Cake Wars. Except not as good.

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I think I've got this, @Plywood_King. Richlands and Graham =the successful older brothers of Tazewell Tazewell=The black sheep younger brother w/chip on shoulder Marion=unwelcome step-brother and nemesis to Tazewell May I add Abingdon; our smug, arrogant cousin who thinks his McMansion and BMW make him look wealthy?

Plywood_King 510 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 You got it, @Liam McPoyle. Also, for what it's worth, the out of touch uncle that got us the incense burner (who means well but it trying too hard) may be running for state Senate this year.

BLUEMAG911 19 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 While this intro was fairly entertaining you all missed the real point. That point is which of these two teams will take their post Richlands beat down frustration out on the other. Tazewell has suffered injuries that have decimated their talent at skill positions and Marion looked young last night. Each have wins this season but have not performed well against their tougher opponents. Marions QB looked pretty good but did not have the time to look for open receivers while the run game was lacking. Tazewell still has some skill players to rely on and a big line. With that being said I will take Tazewell in this battle of the step children. Their speed will be too much for Marion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEMAG911 19 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 You left a "t " out in your post. It should have read "potty candidate" because that trophy looks like s***. Must have been designed by somebody on a bad trip that thought it was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canes00 434 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Tazewell should win this game easily IMO.... I said it before the season started this is one of the worst Marion teams in school history even worse than the 1-9 team 4 or 5 years ago. It's not just the football program all the sports teams at Marion are down right now and I don't see much in the future to turn it around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
