Good morning Buckeye Nation. I woke too a gentle thump...thump in the hallway outside my bedroom door. Chanced a peak and their stood a monstrosity of a creature. Head like a deer, a dumb fanny pack across its groce fat belly. Little baby arms with oversized walmart shopper thighs and paddled feet. Lazily leaned back on a thick, dingleberry riddled tail.
To my astonishment, it spoke with a spitty lisp "My names Zippy".
I didn't respond. Just closed my door and got back in bed with a smile, ignoring its pitiful cries for attention. Fuck Zippy. Insignificant flea ridden hoopy deer. But it's still a good day because...IT'S GAMEDAY!!! TIME.2.GET.PPPPPUUUUMMMMPPPPEEEDDDD!!!!

O-H!!
