I'd like to remind everyone that we're talking about a bunch of college students. I'm guessing mostly guys, so a 12 year old's sense of humor is not that far off.
they were probably too busy drowning their sorrows in booze to notice that my cube was becoming increasingly Phillie-fied
Or they're not nearly as obsessed with the Phillies as the Phillies are with the Mets.
NY's the only city where people can move to and continue to declare their out-of-town sports loyalties with impunity. Any other burgh and chances you'd find your entire cube on fire one morning.
@crazyjoedavola: I think there's too much fan diversity in NY to focus hatred on out-of-town teams en masse.
F'rinstance, for every Yankees fan who hates the Red Sox, there's a Mets fan (or other type of fan) who wants them to succeed simply because it comes at the Yanks' expense (even if it does puff up general Boston Sports Fan Douchery).
Whereas in other cities, rooting for your one local team in any given sport is an act of civic pride as much as it is an expression of actual fanhood.
@FozzieBear: Weird thing--I know a huge number of ex-Pittsburgh people. Or at least, they compose a large per capita portion of my total friend population for someone who's spent his entire life in NY.
@shea_guevara: It's not that weird, the city of Pittsburgh hemorrhages its young population. THis is also at least half the reason the Steelers' fans "travel so well."
At first, I thought it read "Our Women Ruminate On The Art Of The Skank" and was shocked to think that Jenn Sterger and Sarah Spain were contributing to Deadspin.
Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by to pick you up. And we go out, we have a few drinks, and a few laughs and it's great. But you know what the best part of my Friday is? It's for about ten seconds from when I pull up to the internet to when I get to your site. Because I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll scroll down the page, and "Waxing Off" won't be there. No goodbye, no see you later, no nothin'. Just left. I don't know much, but I know that.
My older cousins repelled down our four story high school in ninja gear to the second floor. They cut a hole in the library window and shoved dozens of pigeons, pigeons they had captured and fed laxatives to, into the hole in the glass.
waxing off discusses pranks, and there's not single sexy prank in there. I was hoping for something like tiger balm in panties, or roommates exposing their "toys" at baseball games. [shrug] At least the Kool Aid guy was funny.
@Kid Canada: Seriously, if you hate it that much, don't read it. It's not like us waxing off girls are going to come to Canada and force you to read it. That would mean going to Canada, something more painful and boring that Waxing Off.
Alabama helmet is the quarterback. Jesus is wearing 75, he's a defender. Pink Shirt is halfback. Blockhead Gumby is supposed to block Our Lord and Saviour, but Jesus just blew through him before Alabama quarterback can complete the play action. Our Lord and Saviour is about to take that ball to the house on a great defensive play.

Oh no! What else did they do? Lemme guess. Scratch your CD?

Haha college guys are so stupid and unfunny.

And I'm pretty sure the last one isn't even a prank, but just flat-out theft.

Let me break it down for you:
Alabama helmet is the quarterback.
Jesus is wearing 75, he's a defender.
Pink Shirt is halfback.
Blockhead Gumby is supposed to block Our Lord and Saviour, but Jesus just blew through him before Alabama quarterback can complete the play action.
Our Lord and Saviour is about to take that ball to the house on a great defensive play.
