CHET WATERHOUSE
Special to Sportalicious!
Legendary Sportscaster Chet Waterhouse has been
announcing games for over twenty-eight years, shunning the major
networks in favor of work that keeps him, in his words, "less
bothered by money." A native of Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
Chet is most recognized from his stints announcing the syndicated
television cult hit "Galactic Gladiators Of Doom" and
of course, the World Speed-Fishing Championships, won this year
by Finland with 71 pounds of walleye and an average lap time of
52 seconds. Formerly the voice of the Des Moines Wheat Threshers,
Chet is now the play-by-play man for the Soiux Falls Thunderstorm
of the Inter-Continental Football League. You may recognize his
dulcet tones as the spokesman for Shlatzman's Malt Liquor ("It's
Not Beer, So Don't Call It Beer!") and Sweetco's Penicillin
Nut Bar ("Munch The Pain Away With Sweetco!")
SOME OF THE FANS FAVORITE PHRASES FROM CHET:
"That kid's harder to catch than a glimpse
of your neighbor's wife naked!"
"This game was over quicker than Sunday mass
in Las Vegas!"
"Like a waitress with a bad memory, he just
keeps comin' at ya!"
CHET'S HOMER CALL - "That baby's hit
well, back, back, back... 'Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky! Home
run!"
CHET'S GREETING - "Ohhhh brother! I
don't belieeeve it!"
CHET'S SIGN-OFF - "This is Chet Waterhouse
reminding you to Play With Pain!"
