Dallas and I have a long standing “frenemie” relationship with Brooke and Chad. Chad is our Squadron Chaplin. That’s why the rivalry probably started with this video.
It’s socially acceptable to say “eat it” to your Chaplin and his wife right? Especially if your team is the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs and their team is the Brigham Young University Cougars. No? Is that not socially acceptable? I mean, if the Pope can break 600 years of tradition and resign, surely we can say “eat it” to our favorite Mormons.
It would have been ok if it stopped there. But Brooke is not the kind of girl to let things slide. I knew payback was coming, I just didn’t know when. The video was sent to them in October of 2011, shortly before Dallas and Chad left for Afghanistan. Brooke got us back in July of 2012, while they were still fighting a war. (Seriously, Mormons are supposed to be nice.) I came home to find Dallas’ truck decorated in all her disgusting Cougar gear.
One for one. That should have been the end of it. Nope. Seeing his car like while he was over in Afghanistan fighting for freedom made Dallas mad. Really mad. Mad enough to commit a crime when he got home.
Grand larceny. Of this sticker…
Once we had that magnet, we decided to put it where it belongs. In the crapper…
We tried to put it out of its misery…
We shared some forbidden beverages with it…
We even took it to a rated R movie…
Did I mention that I was texting all of these to Brooke while she was in Utah for a conference? That was the best part. She couldn’t do anything about it except read my texts about exposing the cougar to “cursing and boobies.”
It was all overwhelming for the little guy, so I tucked him in one night for a nice comfy rest…
In the Vag Pack. (FYI, Brooke made that for me.)
Sadly, in the end we had to return the magnet. But he had one last stop to make…
It really was the most fun I’ve had making teasing someone in a long time. The best part was there was no way she could get even…we’d just gone too far. I figured it was all fine, especially after Brooke threw Taryn the best 16th birthday party ever. She came to my house a lot in the weeks before the party to make plans. I never noticed that something was missing from our bookshelf until I got this text…
I got that while I was at our little hippie church. I think I responded (once I stopped laughing) with “SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!” Brooke and Chad made it their “mission” (see what I did there?) to teach the horned frog about wholesome activities…
You can read more about her antics over at her blog, Give Me *Two Minutes. (GO NOW!) She got even. More than even. I tried to be mad at her, but in the end we’ll always be friends. Even if she cheers for a crappy team.
*Upon reading Brooke’s blog I realized I had my dates all wrong. For the record, Brooke and Chad totally started this. Totally.
Holy cow! It is on record that you guys started this!! Wahoo! I thought I was to blame but nope. Suck it!
No. You guys totally started it.
That’s hilarious! There’s nothing better than a friend with a good sense of humor.
True. Funny people are my favorite people.
How hilarious! I love good old fashioned team rivalry! Especially with great friends who have the same sense of humor!
You know what’s funny? That BYU sticker is back in my possession!
Oh my goodness, You guys are awesome at payback. I laughed so loud, the neighbors will probably come check on me. Or they will make serious plans about moving.
Make sure to give them my blog name then! After they make sure you’re ok that is.
LMBO I have a few friends we would so do something like this with.Just not over a sports team because we are not that into sports lol.
I don’t care much about sports either, but I’m a big fan of teasing!
I can’t comment because I can’t get the words “Vag Pak” out of my head.
Sometimes you need to put that thing on ice.
Okay first of all seeing Dallas make that face I now know who the twinkies look like. Secondly, you are SO like our family. I saw the pic of your magnets all over your friend’s car. My mom and my aunt used to fuck with eachother almost daily. We lived 3 minutes walking distance. Vacation meant coming home to an upside down house.
Good times.
So, you’re Horned Frog? makes sense
hilarious

Love the way you two get back at each other. Go Horned Frogs
Love the way you cheered for the Frogs!
See, that’s why Christian wars are so interesting. All the other religions just don’t have that creative flair for defiling a sacred object.
Best comment ever.
