Ooops... EZU Tinky Winky Tailgating!
October 4, 2001

Who the hell are these purple people?
Raleigh_  Don't ask how I got started with this idea.  OK, you win.  Some friends, who don't care about football, but who have kids, made a connection between Tinky Winky and the EZU fans who wear purple.

As we were talking it up and saying "tinky winky" over and over, it got the best of us.  Then someone remembered what Jerry Falwell said about Tinky Winky being gay.  Well, he does carry a red bag (or purse).  You be the judge.

Webster's New World Dictionary lists 5 definitions for gay: 1. lighthearted, 2. bright, 3. given to pleasures, 4. wanton, and 5. homosexual.  Looking at this tailgater you wonder which ones apply.

Nonetheless, we will have thousands of these purple people converging on Chapel Hill this Saturday.  It's been 20 years since we had to put up with such a sight.  Hey Carolina fans, better watch your backs.

Go Heels!
