Ask Kiley: Bell Game version

Dear Kiley,

Who do you predict will win the Bell game?

-Curious George

 

Now George,

I\’ve been researching and investigating this topic for quite some time now. It seems as though Edison has been beating us for, oh just the last *cough* three*cough* years.  

However, my crystal ball tells me that there\’s going to be a positive change. I\’m just not too clear on whether it\’s going to be them or us.

-Kiley

 

Dear Kiley,

What the heck is a Charger anyway?

-Mr. Baron

 

Dear Mr. Baron,

A Charger, according to Wikipedia, is: a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargable battery by forcing an electric current through it.

Dear Kiley,

How did this whole rivalry start anyway?

- Iwannaknowmyhistory

 

Well Iwannaknow,

It goes a little something like this:

Once upon a time in Fountain Valley the Mighty Barons were the rulers in the land. But on one gloomy day in 1969 a group of savage monsters came tromping into the “nice place to live.” They were known as the Edison Chargers.

Ugly, booger green, and terrifically smelly, the Chargers challenged the Noble Barons in a Football Game for a train bell. The Barons did not want to fight, but felt it that if their neighbors wanted a nice game of football, they might as well give it to them. They also decided to let the Chargers win the first game just for courtesy\’s sake.

But the smelly savages took advantage.

“We won!” the Chargers cheered after the short game.

“But we let you win.”

“No, we won!”

The Barons were deep in their sorrow and full of rage. From then made a pact to never let the unfriendly Chargers win another game again.

Thus began the greatest rivalry in history.

-Kiley
