The Ducks party like it's 1917 all over again

     Alright, let's congratulate the Oregon Ducks on winning the Rose Bowl. Congrats!
Now let me say I would have totally been okay with the Wisconsin Badgers winning because I like their mascot. I also like their school colors.
After the Ducks won the Rose Bowl a friend of mine (who is also the biggest Ducks fan of all time. Seriously.) wrote as his Facebook status: "Time to party like it's 1917" since that was the last time the Ducks won the Rose Bowl. Now as nice as that sounds, let's really see how it would be to 'party like it's 1917'.
   First I believe you would need a snazzy top hat. They seem to be pretty standard party attire. Of course you would also need to accessorize with a monocle and cane. If you're lucky, you might end up looking like this handsome fellow to the left.
Maybe tune up the ole Nickelodeon piano and listen to some ragtime while sipping on a drink called a Celery Sour. Yes, I looked it up and that was an actual popular drink. Sounds delicious right? Didn't think so.
   I don't know about you, but I think I'll stick to partying like it's 2012. Not that I actually do any partying. The most I've done in the last few months is dance with my daughter to her LeapFrog My Pal Violet dog singing 'Do You Know the Muffin Man?' But wearing a top hat might jazz it up a bit.
Congratulations again to the Oregon Ducks. But they should really be saying a special thank you to Travis Crownover, who has believed in them since 1917. Party on Travis. Party on.
