Bills Part Ways with Drew Bledsoe

Buffalo Bills

In response to Tim's email:

Welcome to the Katie's 2005 edition of "getting to know your
friends", whoever the heck "Katie" is. What you are supposed to do is copy (not forward) this entire
e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you'll send. Change all the answers
so they apply to you, and then send this to a whole bunch of people
including the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot
of little things about your friends, if you didn't know them already! More often
than not, your friends will be too upset with all your junk mail to write you back.
Okay, here we go!

One thing that constantly plagues Olympians is the fact that we have very little in the way of an exciting past. In order to compensate for our bland history, we have a day called "What if it Had Happened Here?". This day allows people to imagine what it would have been like if real historical events had actually taken place in our very own back yard. Past "What if¹s" have included: "What if the Civil War had happened here?", "What if Waco had happened here" and "What if the 'Bridges of Madison County' had been filmed here?" (a slight variation, I know). This year the theme was "What if Moses Had Parted the Red Sea Here in Olympia?" In order to reenact this event, organizers dumped 500 gallons of red food coloring into Capitol Lake. Since it is a man made lake and capable of drainage, they were able to utilize the already existing hydraulic system to create a rift in the lake¹s center, thus creating the illusion of the red sea parting. Many people tried out for the part of Moses, including K records' own Calvin Johnson, but in the end it went to Joe Preston because he already has a beard.
