It's the media's fault!

They having a parade in KY.  I didn't know the Cards were that popular.  I saw the Cards play earlier this year.  They got the shit kicked out of them by the Phillies.  I left that game thinking they really sucked.  Next thing I hear they are playing in late October.  Go figure.

so, apparently the team where I am won? Huh. A lot of people are excited. A lot of my friends are pretending they have given a shit all along, and are all mad that I am not excited. I do not know about Baseball. You know? I'm not going to pretend to be a big cardinals fan when I'm not, that is called Faking. And everyone knows men can't fake.

but yeah, people are pretty excited here.

Most of the coolness of winning the World Series is negated by having a player with a little billygoat beard dyed Manic Panic pink. Like "Yeah... champions... great... we still got that guy with that lame face thing as one of our bench players, at best we broke even."

Dude, sour grapes are so unbecoming.

It's called getting into the spirit of it.  No harm can come of sharing in the excitement of being in a town that is celebrating a major championship victory.

yeah, I mean, it is cool that they won. I just suck at getting into the spirit of things. a lot.

(I am noticing that this is a liability at college. extremely.)

Eh, the problem with the internet is a total lack of intonation to the conversation.

Had I said it out-loud, you'd've realized that... I'm about a week past sour grapes and... was merely picking on pretty much the lamest facial hair I've ever seen in my twenty-seven years. A PINK billy-goat STRIP.

The billy-goat strip, in and of itself, is probably the lamest facial hair attainable... like that little patch under the lip that people who think they're TOTALLY hip have... somehow crossed with the wild long beard of someone who thinks that maybe, just maybe, ZZ Top will recruit them off the street and give them a really cool guitar and a guitar what spins.

Already, this sounds to be SO outrageously affected that it couldn't exist out of fiction?

Like you wouldn't even put it on a Halloween costume because people would mock its total unbelievability? "What do you do, go to deep dark coffeehouse open mics with a beret and an acoustic guitar... and then cover 'Legs'? Go home, cut some holes in a sheet and come back as a ghost..."

And THEN dye it pink.

We're long outside of sporting animosity, my friend.

We are in the realm, strictly, of apocalyptically unrecommended facial hair.
