By late morning Monday, it was time to move on from the Palliser to the next destination. Time to whistle for the wheels and hit it. I'd been told that the old Route 1A was a better route than the Route 1 for our journey to Banff and sure enough, there were some interesting views and stopping points along the way. Thats where the late lunch of rice and vegetables came in very refreshing along with
Now we know what Mauer would have looked like as the Gopher’s QB.
Thanks to Ben the professor for posting this pic in the first place.
The actual person wearing the number 7 jersey is Eric Decker a junior WR from Cold Spring, MN.

(This photo was found here.)During my breaks at work, I often slip outside by myself. Near a particular nook where I stand to take shelter from the wind, there is a gopher hole. The gopher who pokes his head out of it is never too thrilled with my presence, and he whistles at me in this way that puffs out his cheeks to tell me to get off his fecking property already while only blinking one eye at a time. I click my tongue at him in return, which always makes him cock his head a bit, as though he could decipher what I might be trying to say. I like him.I am also fully aware that this little gopher is probably fifty different gophers that have burrowed under that section of land, but I am an inveterate anthropomorphizer. I prefer to think of all fifty gophers that might pop their heads
Jeff Fowler shows us how important it is to keep simplicity in mind. This 3d animation reminds me of the old Warner Bros cartoon. The animation is well done and the gags come rapidly throughout the film's 4 min. running time. Gopher Broke is a very entertaining 'toon!I enjoy this film’s visual style: everything has a dusty, worn down and weathered feeling. Even the vegetables have been handled in a way that makes them almost unnaturally colorful and appealing because they must have a hypnotic effect on the Gopher.The entire story is built around one particular gopher’s scheme to rob the passing farm traffic of their vegetable harvests, hoping to get a free lunch. He finds himself on a road where trucks are hauling produce to market. He hits on the idea of shaking some of the produce lo

The Calgary Stampeders have reversed their move to block Gainer the Gopher from the CFL stadium on Sunday, and instead are asking he watch from the stands. No only would he then block the view of spectators behind him, a mascot should have free reign of the field like the cheerleaders do. I enjoyed John Gormley’s suggestion that Gainer dress in a string bikini, and run out onto the field with the Rider’s cheerleaders. Writing the other day about this offense to Rider Nation from Saskatchewan’s second home [Calgary], I suggested that this may have been a move for Albertan’s to feel out how a total Saskatchewan ban would go over.
Unfortunately Gainer is going to Casino Regina for the game, instead of forcing his way into Calgary. I saw on the TV news last night that there is at least one Rider fan going as a large gopher, so I expect the stands to be filled with rodent squeaks, and raucus Rider Pride.
Gainer is my brown rodent idol. He’s made it into Sports
As I noticed yesterday after catching a “Censored” blog comment from Rod Pedersen, the voice of the Roughriders, Gainer has been barred from the Calgary Stampeders’ home field for the playoff game this Sunday against the Riders. Alberta may be the rat free province, but I didn’t know they banned gophers too. And so, on Halloween 2006, Saskatchewan is buzzing with the news that their most famous costumed celebrity, has been barred from Calgary. First they’ll ban our larger than life-sized gophers from Saskatchewan, then they’ll start forbidding people from Saskatchewan to work in Calgary!
Hat Tip to my fellow Green (in the Rider sense) man, Buckdog.
I heard that Jenna Holbrooke formerly of CJME, has gone to The Fan station instead, and said that Burris had nothing to do with banning Gainer. The radio is calling this situation “GainerGate”. Hillarious!
