I went to Chilifest this past weekend — it is like Woodstock for rednecks.
While I did not watch a single band play, I did take part in what I considered the most smash-mouth tackle football game ever.
It was raining. The field was littered with cans and bottles. And there was absolutely no mercy.
About a dozen of us played, two were sent to the hospital with broken noses.
Cops showed up and worked crowd control, they estimated that about 250 people stood around rooting for yet more carnage.
I mention this because it was video taped by some random guy who said he would put it on MySpace. Unfortunately for all of us, the name he said he would use “Fonzo” is not at all helpful. In fact, it is near impossible to really limit and categorize the search results for recently uploaded videos.
I would like you to prove me wrong though, there is a finders fee involved if you find this bone-crunching video.
Oh, it took place at 4am and Fonzo (from what I recall) was a Hispanic probably in his early 30s with some holiday weight.
Note: perhaps the perfect illustration of how football reigns supreme in Texas, the cops wantonly approved of the brow-beating mud-filled gladiator fight, yet when a slip-n-slide was erected, they asked to have it removed.
