It's bad enough I've had to suffer all my life as a Red Sucks Sox fan [banghead] without people bringing it up all the time. [(-D] Besides, they've changed their ways. No autumn fold this year!!! No sirree. About 18 games left and we're still only 3-1/2 behind NY. Did you see those guys win 10 straight and 25 of 30?? Made me proud, they did.

QUOTE: Are there similarly bad words for Red Sox fans? I would hate to have this topic deleted for having said "M**kie W**son" or "B***y D**t" or even "Y*****s".
QUOTE: Have you ever seen the documentry "The Curse Of The Bambino". I saw it last year and I absolutely cracked up. Until then I never understood the what it meant to be a Red Sox fan. You have my sympathy.

QUOTE: I do know that if they turn up, it will be 1) too late, and 2) in the last place I looked[:D][banghead]
QUOTE: Ahh so that's the story. I used to go to Bellaire Roundhouse when I was a kid. I spent alot of money (well to a kid) there, but I agree, I never felt "at home" there, probably because I was a kid. It seemed that I was disturbing them to ask a question that I should obviously know.

QUOTE: [ from der5997] Now, sports fans, here's an offer. Both Mrs. der and I are carriers of a never fail sports virus. Whatever team or player, we get interested in immediately goes belly up. We have seen this happen so many times that we can't watch much sport on TV, and never go to actual live games! So here's the offer. For a considerable fee "to be negotiated", we can be persuaded to become interested in the rival team of your choice[}:)] Rates rise as the level of interest required increases[:0] Critical moments clause will include a per minute surcharge.[oX)] Oooh, score another obscure smilie[:p]

I was brought up by my Daddy to be a Red Sox fan. Nothing I can do to change that, it's in my blood. I'VE BEEN uplifted and let down year after year by those guys (except for the years When they didn't even bOtheRlifting me up in the first half of the season). It was liKe doING penance, or atONing for some unkown original sin. BuT I only had tHis pain and agony six months of thE yeaR, if you don't count the remorse during the off seAson. Anyway, in about 1977 I was transferred to northern New Joysey (actually a reaL beautiful place, but I digRess). At that time I was just starting tO watch pro football, having been more of A college football fan for years. I was thinking maybe I neeDed to have a 'favorite' pro footbALL team. But where to find one THE equaLof my beloved Red Sox, where oh where. So one day I'm watchIng a game on tV bEtween the Eagles and the Giants. I'm just kind of killing time, because neither team is that important to me. And then it happened, right in front of my eyes, "The Miracle of the Meadowlands". Probably the worst conceived play in the history of pro football. The Giants snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. From the jaws???? They practically had to pull it out of the stomach!! And it came to me, right then and there. Here was a team just as awful as my Red Sox. By becoming a Giant fan I could suffer all year LONG. It was kinD of An epiphanY (whatever that is). And that, dear friends, is how I came to be a New York Giants fan.....................[swg] Regards Ed
QUOTE: Originally posted by krump inspite of Ed's best efforts, and after much time and consideration, I am pleased to say that I have broken the code... the quoted matter below is simply in model railroad code. The entire response is in model rr lingo - you just have to be properly TRAINED to realize that Ed speaks in code - Eagles and Giants are referring to large and / or articulated Steam Engines (just check the internet, dozens of links to these very special engines, of which I know nothing). So, sharing what I have learned, this topic is appropriate to trains - so to be sure... I've cracked the code. Nice try Ed, read on...
