Some have actually questioned why we even call it Fan Appreciation Day. Says Mrs. Rocky, "How is it Fan Appreciation Day if we [the fans] do all the cooking?" Rocky's response, "ah she's just feeling a little bitchy. Besides, how am I supposed to appreciate her if she don't cook?"
Some (cheap bastards) think of Fan Appreciation Day as good cheap fun. Says Lurch, "hey that plastic-ware do wash up pretty good ... don't it?" Beef adds, "I've gotten by the past ten years on just one tank of propane. Not bad ... when you consider all the food I have eaten."
Ah, the food ... some say food is the main attraction of Fan Appreciation Day. "I just can't get enough of Rocky's cookin," say Liz Kral. "And Roots burgers are the best." What's Root's secret? Says Root, "acutually I found through Dan, that cheap bastard, that if you go to the Vietnamese restaurant on Montgomery and San Pedro you can get leftover dog and cat gristle real cheap ... cheaper than hamburger helper and just as delicious ... yummy."
There you have it. ThereŚs something for everyone at Fan Appreciation Day. Maybe it's best not to over-analyze. Just sit back, set that burger on your stained paper plate, and enjoy the moment. It only comes once a year.
