A Pelicans Fan Snuck Onto The Court For Warmups And Officer Wilford Brimley Was Having None Of It

Socrates Johnson8 years ago

YOLO. You Only Live Once. A phrase popularized by heathen millennial children who never went to Sunday school. One New Orleans Pelicans fan lived YOLO to the fullest when he snuck onto the court for warmups before the team’s matchup against the Houston Rockets and shot around with the team for a few brief but amazing moments.

That is, until a Wilford Brimley-looking security officer escorted the hooligan off of the court and gave him a stern talking-to.

Listen, Officer Brimley didn’t spend years slinging diabeetus testing supplies to have to deal with some young whippersnapper’s bullshit. Truth be told, the world’s changing around ol’ Wilford. Things just ain’t how they used to be. Back in his day, doing it for the ‘gram meant doing something nice for your grandma. Going viral meant coming down with some debilitating and incurable disease. A hashtag was an unseemly skin condition that formed at the base of one’s penis.

But these days, you’ve got a bunch of millennial miscreants with their phones out YOLOing this way and that, either directly participating in the tomfoolery or perpetuating it by documenting it for all their friends and family to see. In the meantime, Wilford’s just trying to make enough money to buy his grandkids that newfangled thingamabob that seems to make them happy, but that will ultimately cause them to visit less and less.

With all that in mind, let’s make 2018 the year we do away with YOLO. Instead, let’s make 2018 the year of LAROP. Loving And Respecting Old People..
