No, actually 180 degrees opposite from that; the short-bus riders seem to be the wanna-be's that wave towels and other toys to feel like they are "part" of the "team"?
OOOOOH! what a witty reply! Maybe next time you should just go with the old "I'm rubber and you're glue..."
You wrote: "From pretty much the day I came (to Pittsburgh), I was trying to figure out how to leave. The gloom is truly oppressive, guys. How do you survive?"
Well, in my many years there, the solution was Iron City, and later IC Light. They are fine, distinctive brews when fresh (that is -- consumed in Pittsburgh). Plus, from August to February (6 1/2 months) there are the Stillers for entertainment. Other than that, yes -- there is gloom and crazy democrat schemes to deal with.
We have a TT and it is hanging up in my son's room. It's fun to have on game days. My boss has one hanging in her office and her boss is also from Pitt. Phoenix is fast becoing home to ex-burghers. Used to be people from Chicago all over the place but now it is Pitt.
God is a Packers fan.
SuperBowl XL was the most ridiculous display of professional sport rigging I can remember. It's as faulty a championship as is Barry Bonds' Steroid Records.
You are stuck on stupid. Get in your car, drive to I-79 and go to canada.
I'm searching Google right now for that famous picture of Him getting Tom Brady's autograph...
If you wanted a proper sarcastic crack (which I surely deserved), "Go to Cuba" would have worked. Canada's just as gloomy as Pittsburgh!
I'm planning to move to the Philippines because it offers a low cost of living and a tropical climate. But unfortunately I have to get my financial foundation a bit more solid before I can do that. I can only go there by earning money in the US and living in the Philippines. That's my long-range plan and we'll see if I can pull it off.
If I were to stay in the States, Florida would be great. Or maybe Fidel will finally die and Cuba will become free enough to be worth living in. It's a beautiful place, Cuba. Really.

Good stuff, but shouldn't it be Johnny Cash Impersonatorus?
Go call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmbulance :)
STEELERS SBXL CHAMPS! LEARN IT, LIVE IT, LOVE IT!
Tom Brady dies and goes to heaven and meets St Peter at the gate. St Peter says "Welcome Tom we have your house all ready for you" St Peter then leads him to a VERY nice home all in NE colors. Next door there is a mansion twice the size of Tom's all in black and gold with Steelers flags and Terrible Towels every where. Tom says to St Peter " I really appreciate the beautiful home but I have to ask why is Ben Rothlisbergers' house bigger than mine?" To which St Peter replies "Oh, that's not Bens' house, that's where GOD lives" :)
Thanks for confirming the that the condescension of your previous post was not in jest or misinterpreted.
You obviously are the real deal when it comes to priggish downers who takes thyself, and others, way too seriously.
I love to hate the Steelers, but this author has clearly been writing without a helmet...
Good Gosh. I am a New Englander and a Pats fan, but will clearly side with anyone that has Black and Gold in their veins against a maroon like this.
People like the guy who wrote this are simply incapable of understanding the fun and enjoyment of a sporting event. I sense an Ivory Tower intellectual when I see words like "solipsistic"...oooohhhhhh! What an INCREDIBLE word!
It reminds me of a woman once who derided air shows, and said they were simply symbolic recreations of the Nuremberg Rallies and that planes were "phallic symbols"...no...I am not making this up.
But it sure sounds like an Ivory Tower Intellectual.
I got bad (or good, depending on your viewpoint) news for you...
Olongapo City ain't what it used to be!
Thanks! It's all in fun and anyone that doesn't understand that when talking smack about sports needs to get a life.
'Zactly! Sports are too important to take seriously...
LOL! Ain't that the truth.
