Auburn Football Wins, Tree Loses.
The TP-tree at Magnolia and College in Auburn, AL.
Auburn, AL - I don't get this. Somehow, sometime ago it became traditional to cover this tree (and everything else in sight) with toilet paper whenever the Auburn Football team wins. The people charged with this responsibility are remarkably diligent in their duty.
There has got to be a great story behind this. Other then it began in the 1970s, no one seems to know exactly how this ritual of thanks came to pass..

These young ladies really wanted to help with the photo mission. I want to thank them for all their kind efforts. It really was a boost to the effort. Really.
A culprit and her accessory caught in the act. (Can't you just hear the theme from Cops playing in the background?)
Even the fire hydrant was not spared.
And a good time was had by all.
"A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But here, in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask 'Why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous?' Well, we stay because Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: tradition!"
