Hypothetical Question

Let’s just say, hypothetically, that you, by stroke of luck, aquired a life-sized cutout of Jim Traber.  Just out of curiosity, what would you do with it?

    it is difficult to think of things that i WOULDN’T do with it. we might go to the movies, we might play dress up. heck, we might even play a “drinking game”. i think that if i actually had a life-sized jim traber cardboard doll, it would become my most prized possession.

    i do know that if thelostogle were to give me such an object, that i would use my new hd camcorder to record a hypothetical day in the life of jim traber, then upload it to my computer and hopefully youtube.

    I echo what Doug said. My self esteem would skyrocket. I would start every conversation with “Jim” using the words “Big Man, Big Man, listen to me for a second……”. Then we would talk about all the kids going away to college.

    I’m not sure. I already have a life-size cutout of Al Eschbach that I keep in my wallet.

    Put in on my fridge.

    Flow, it might eat your fridge. And Redman, I would worry about my wallet attacking me, Eschback is the devil.
    I would place a life size Trabor in the backyard, alike a scarecrow.

    I would take it to Norman North football games, then maybe over to the Lucky Star and play some poker together, and then go buy some new gloves and have him teach me how to break them in.

    If any of you want to have a life size Traber, I’m thinking about getting rid of mine. You can find my email at jimtraber.com

    I don’t know, but I do know that it would involve satelite commercials and Canadian TV.

    I would put the poster in my back yard next to my stand up throw back net, so we could play catch together.

    I’d hang it from a hangman’s noose in the front yard. The Sports Enema sucks ass. If it were Eschbach, I’d take it to his next promo site and burn it in front or him. Total Sports Duminass indeed!

    I would make it the focus of my kid’s hamster tube cage ala Mathis Brothers. Jim always sounds like he has a gerbil up his butt anyhow.

    I would put it in the passenger seat of my car when I drive to the Red River Rivalry game in The Big D. That way, I can drive in the ‘HOV’ lane and it will appear that I have more than one person in the car, thus fooling the local law enforcement.

    i would put it on my wall and work on my airsoft gun skills.

    I’d ask it the best way to break in a glove for my son.

    You’d probably still have to feed him.

  16. 16 Bosley

    Oh thats easy,

    Ice skating.

    If you’re putting a truth serom in me, I’d have to admit we’d go to a local McDonald’s playground and get our game one…Especially in the big pit of balls that are full of nasty bacteria and kid snots.

    Take him to the Okfuskee County jail.

  19. 19 David Hall Jr.

    I would put him in GIA or Boone Pickens Stadium. I know since he played for OU he despises going there.. wait, he played for OSU, yet he never goes there? Say it ain’t so cardboard Jim….

    No cardboard Whammer would be worth it’s salt without a soundtrack. A tape loop with “Al and I been saying that for a while”, “my boy Dave Wannstedt”, “See what I’m saying?”, “Could I have a little of my favorite music…”, “I have to give it up to myself” “basically” and ” ‘member Al?” would do nicely.

    I’d program it to sqeal like a PIG caught under a fence, like JIM does when he has to make a point, really sounds like a little GIRL.

  22. 22 Brad

    I’d put it out as a substitute teacher, to shape the minds our youth while making a little extra cash. I’d terrorize those of Japanese ancestry by chasing them with the cutout. I’d also use it to call Cal Ripken — assuming the cutout also had his cell number in its pocket.

  23. 23 Brad

    You could also hide behind it while orchestrating panty raids.

  24. 24 Zac

    I’d make him fight my life-size cutout of Kent Hrbek. On Segways.

  25. 25 OtherDave

    Traber played in the big leagues?

  26. 26 Clark Matthews

    If anyone actually has a cutout of Hrbie, I’m in the market for one.

  27. 27 Dr. Pants

    I would “give it up” to it for whatever insightful sports knowledge it “drops.” Then I’d probably find out it recommends any local laser hair removal clinics or hot dog suppliers.

  28. 28 Okie Chris

    I would take him to Reliant Stadium in Houston and have Trent Smith drop by so we could relive the “Houston Fiasco”

    Jim is my best friend. You guys maybe ought to back off!

  30. 30 BETNHI

    JIm is a hypochondriac,this guy is always sick,seems like his immune system has taken some time off. Perhaps it is HIV.

    Is it me or does Jim you of the ‘Oxyclean’ guy on TV? Seriously, I think they were separated at birth.
