A few years back there was a single father who lived in the hilly lands of northern Iowa with his twelve sons, who were all Hawkeye fans. The sons would always travel to Iowa City to go to the Hawkeye games and they all would have a great time, but the youngest son seemed to always hold the other eleven brothers back form having a better time. The youngest son named Jimmy had an irritable stomach and intestinal track where every time he would drink a few beers, he would stop wherever he’s at and start puking uncontrollably. Meanwhile, all the other brothers would have to wait by his side instead of going tailgate hopping and meeting new people. Finally, the brothers got fed up with having to take care of Jimmy and they all decided the next time that Jimmy puked uncontrollably they would all run off to another tailgating party where Jimmy wouldn’t find them. So the next time Jimmy started puking, he was behind a tree on Melrose Avenue and the brothers took off running. The brothers tried taking a short cut and went through the woods in a single file line down the hill and came to a set of train tracks. Just as a train was coming, the brothers, being in a single file line tripped over one another on the tracks and the train came roaring through, killing all of Jimmy’s brothers simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Jimmy puked his guts out so hard he passed out from absolute exhaustion. Before he passed out he was screaming out for his brothers and a secret genie overheard him scream out who also witnessed the train hitting his brothers when they were crossing the bridge over the tracks. After putting two and two together the genie realized what had happened after seeing his pile of puke and as Jimmy slept, the genie fed him some magic Tums which gave his stomach a lining of a gas tank, where he would be able to hold down anything he drank or ate for that matter. The genie disguised himself as a bum picking up cans as Jimmy awoke from his short nap. Being depressed for not finding his brothers, he decided to have a beer and as he drank, he realized how smooth it went down and had one after another until he was fairly drunk and not puking. He couldn’t believe what was going on and wanted to find his brothers to celebrate with them, but they were no where to be found. The whole time the bum was picking up his cans around him, realizing how excited and pleased Jimmy was. The "Bum" goes to Jimmy, "are you feeling better lad?" Jimmy replied, "yes, but how did you know I wasn’t feeling good in the first place?" The old bum replied, "I saw your pile of puke and gave you some magic Tums to heal your stomach." Jimmy asked, "How could you get magic Tums, your just an old bum picking up cans." That’s when the genie revealed himself to Jimmy and Jimmy was completely shocked. The genie said I will give you two wishes for anything that your heart desires, because he felt bad for Jimmy losing his siblings, but wasn’t able to let Jimmy know about the accident.

Jimmy immediately thought of his brothers and asked for a bottomless cooler that whatever he commanded to go into it would instantly so that they would always have food and drinks for tailgating at future games. He also wanted a shape shifting ice pack that would do whatever Jimmy commanded, while changing temperature to Jimmy’s liking. Jimmy thanked the genie and went on his way to find a fun tailgating party.

On Jimmy’s way down to the Hawkeye game he came across an awesome party where all his friends were, but they didn’t have a very good look on their face. Jimmy asked what was wrong and they said they were down to their last few beers and the only money they had left was being used to scalp a ticket to the game. Out of the goodness of his heart, Jimmy commanded the cooler to fill up with Bud Light beer, and instantly the cooler was full of beer. His friends were very impressed and glad that Jimmy stopped by to help them out. They were all partying there for a few hours and one of his friends tried to take advantage of him by trying to get the cooler full of more beer that he wanted to sell when Jimmy was going to the bathroom. As Jimmy was getting back from the Port-O-Johnny he saw his friend doing this, and ordered the shape shifting ice pack to clamp on to his friends leg and continue burning him until ordered otherwise, so it did. His friend was screaming in agony and continued to apologize for trying to profit from Jimmy’s good fortune. Jimmy called off the shape shifting ice pack and there was a burned strip around his friend’s leg. His friend thanked him for calling the ice pack off and vowed not to ever do that again.

After his friend betrayed him he decided that it was time to take his gift elsewhere. Jimmy was not completely fulfilled because he wasn’t able to enjoy his gift with his brothers, so he got an idea. He began to call each brother by name to get into the cooler, and time and time again the cooler would be filled with bloody bones. After calling all brothers to get into his cooler he realized that they had all died in attempts to leave him. This made him very sad and he still felt like his gift must be used for those who can’t afford to have such a great time at Hawkeye games. After the game, Jimmy went home to show his father but his father wasn’t there. The police had his house taped off because there had been a murderer on the loose who had killed his father. Now Jimmy was all alone in the world and didn’t really have anyone close to him to share his gift with.

As the years went on Jimmy kept going to Hawkeye football games and would continue to share his free food and beer with those unfortunate people that couldn’t afford to make their tailgating experience as fulfilling as it could be. Time went on and Jimmy got older and older, but always seemed to find those young poor college kids and brought a little more joy to their Saturdays. It was time for Jimmy to die, all that free drinking took quite a toll on his body since he wasn’t puking it up and his liver was shot. The following Saturday death showed up to his tailgate and told him it was his time to go. Jimmy was grateful and accepted his fate, but he wanted one chance to thank the genie that granted him the wishes that made every Saturday so fulfilling. Just before death took a swipe at Jimmy, there was that bum to stop him and he quickly turned into the genie. The genie was so impressed that Jimmy helped all these poor Hawkeye fans enjoy their experiences and was willing to grant Jimmy one last wish, but Jimmy just replied, "Genie, you have done more than I could have ever hoped and I couldn’t be more appreciative than I am right now, thank you!" Then the genie went away and death took a clean swipe before Jimmy could take another breath, killing him. As Jimmy fell to his death, the genie destroyed the cooler with the shape shifting ice pack inside so no one could exploit such a great gift.
