What a legend.

There’s a lot of pressure when the camera is on you at a game to be entertaining. Most people just play it off as embarassing and are desperate to see the camera leave them alone — but the bar has been raised, forever.
This Lakers fan was immediately named “Fan of the Game” for chugging beer out of her own prosthetic leg, and rightfully so. I went to a renaissance fair a few weeks back and drank ale out of a horn, because that’s where I’m at in my life now, so really drinking out of a leg is just a modern take on that.
I’d love to know if this is a regular party trick for her. Is the leg chug a common event for this fan? How many ounces does the leg hold? If I were the Lakers I’d give her season tickets and bring her back to every single game and dare the Lakers fanbase to try and one-up this.
What an absolute legend.
Now there’s an image I’ll be trying to get out of my head for the rest of today.
Youngsters.
Back in my day, you weren’t a Lakers fan until you had danced on a burning police car.
I had a friend, (now deceased) who had a prosthetic. When we’d travel, he often brought along a spare leg. I’ve got to admit that makes you jump when you find a leg rattling around in the trunk at night.
I don’t know if any of you remember Bill Veeck, the baseball owner and pioneer? He had a wooden leg. My dad wrote his autobiographies and they were good friends. We would visit his family in Maryland on their estate. One of my earliest memories is sitting on his front porch when he removes his leg and uses it as an ashtray! I couldn’t be more than six years old at the time. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Good for her!
If she isn’t already, marry her now! That’s my kinda partner.
I sure do. I was a vendor at Comiskey Park (Sox Park) when he purchased the Chicago White Sox. He would sit in the grand stands with the fans and prop up his wooden leg on the seat back of the seat in front of him (The Sox were in the cellar and he wasn’t able to fill the park so there was plenty of places he could stretch out and relax). A great PR man and humanitarian. Quite a character.
Inner demon silencer IPA.
Didn’t Deuce Bigalow (male Gigalo) date her?
