Slayer

I will admit VX had a good point about maintaining loyalty to a team vis-à-vis the lack of loyalty players show to teams and teams show to cities, and I generally don't take issue with the concept of cherry-picking, given my own team affiliations (mostly derived from family and friends as a youngin'). Where I take issue is people cherry picking from the historically successful franchises of their respective sports. It's a lot different when you're the fan of a historically bad/unlucky franchise because, really, who would really claim to be a fan of said franchise if they weren't? I'm not going to question, say, an Arizona Cardinals fan in North Dakota... but if you're cherry picking good franchises all over the map (as one person I knew who claimed fandom of the Yankees, Celtics, Cowboys and Canadiens), you're gonna come off as a tool, especially if the franchise success is recent and the fandom was never notable before said success. A good example of this is the exponential explosion of the Yankees fanbase outside the Tri-state area over the last decade.

Most of your posts are two sentences too long, if that. I can't help it... I have a short attention span and I

And where does he come off saying I'm a good writer anyway?! Most of my posts are only two sentences long, if that.

After everything we've done for you!

In '01 and '04 the Pats went to Pittsbugh for the AFC title game, but in '03 Indy came to Foxboro

Vinny has accounted for 26 of the Colts' 38 points this postseason Ponder that one

EDIT: oops, didn't see the joke played out

Hey now Well, if we keep snuffbox contained, that should cut it to only 4 pages

Hey now

I like to pretend that season never happened

Haha

Chris Benoit's title win has nothing on yesterday

The bonus songs (the ones you had to buy) were original, as was "John the Fisherman" by Primus and "Stop" by Jane's Addiction. All the others were covers, which included some horrendous covers of "Heart Shaped Box", "Sweet Child of Mine", "Killing in the Name" and "Hangar 18". In their defense, they've got a guy who does a damn good Ozzy, and there were a few good covers in the game, but most of them were bad, that's why I'm not getting my hopes up for GH3

Australia can breathe easier tonight

What the fuck? SNOW in central Wisconsin?

Once upon a time, I would've been excited to see Iron Maiden on such a list, but given the cover qualities in GH2, I shudder to think of the schmoe they get to try imitating Bruce

Yes, it's like Wikipedia... if the mods aren't satisfied with a post edit of yours, they can just switch back to your earlier post

You're deep, Kotz

Unsurprisingly, I've found that fall/winter is much better for listening to doom and black metal, where power, thrash and death metal are much more suited for the spring/summertime. I've also come to associate some CDs with the time of year that I purchased them. I purchased Zappa's You Can't Do that On Stage Anymore #1 in the early summertime and associate the songs with that, but I bought #2 in the winter and associate it with the cold (the fact that was recorded in Helsinki doesn't hurt either)

Don't forget the Texas Rangers (whom I was originally referring to)

Okay, the Florida Panthers of NHL There. Much better. Somewhere along the way you lost the parallel

That's awful You could've at least gone with the verbal drum solo

And Peyton Manning is such a charmer with his "Aw Shucks" Southern pretty boy demeanor
