:D:D:D

The Jets fans, along with their carbon copies in Philly, have a chant that involves spelling the name of the team. If that's the intellectual common denominator of the fan base, I'm scared. Most of these people have multiple pieces of clothing and/or memorabilia that displays the name of the team. All that tells me is that the fans are stupid to the point that a stadium full of them chanting the spelling of the team's name is akin to a child learning a new word of the day...except these people learn the same word of the day every few minutes.

:rolleyes:

Things like that go completely over my head. I really couldn't care less how many pieces of clothing people wear with the name blazoned all over it. Each to his own! I guess they are just "proud" of their team .....:rolleyes:

Nicely put using a Sesame Place reference to describe the pigeon and prop plane fans.

We did get the Morristown Hyatt this weekend for $53.20 though.

Let them be proud. No problems there. Their right to act out their pride in goofy ways does not outweigh my right to make fun of them.

I essentially have work attire and "shirts given to me as premiums / gifts with various logos". I'll wear just about anything to the gym ;)

Nice. I set that late last night, up from 226. I'm hitting a wall in tennis and giving away entire games on repeated unforced errors, so it's nice to see that I'm making progress somewhere else.

I've got tennis "beat" - it kept giving me the same "best" computer opponents, and I keep beating them 3-0 in best-of-5. My rating is basically stuck.

The secrets are learning the timing for the "rocket serve" and getting ball placement such that the computer can't return.

Looks like I'll miss you. I'll be in SEA Thursday and Friday, though I will be quite busy...
