I am dead tired and I have no voice. Last night was crazy . . . and exhausting. So much fun watching the tide of orange ascend the stairs with 5:01 left in the game. Most were gracious losers, though, congratulating us as they passed. I did see a couple of near punches thrown between some of their and our trashier representatives.
I am one of those who would congratulate fans if my team lost and be very kind to fans if my team won. If you're a douche in another team's house or if you're a douche to visitors in your place then you deserve to get punched.Quote:

Without turning around, and with a completely flat affect, one of the Alabama guys responded, “I always knowed you was a Communist.” Since then, that or just “communist” has been the response in our family whenever anyone expresses an unpopular opinion.
I use it all the time when people espouse an unpopular opinion just because it is funny and because A Confederacy of Dunces is one of my favorite books. Also, because of my accent, I say it like the General in there. "Communiss".Quote:

Nah, fascism is the opposite of communism. Pure communism would be at the other end of the spectrum.Quote:
