I'll start. The Super Bowl. Did you guys love it? Hate it? Did the lights go out because of a vast right wing conspiracy? I'm not a big Raven's fan, but the Giants beat my Cardinals in the playoffs, so I wasn't looking to see anything else go to San Fran.

It's kind of quiet in here 15 minutes into the grand opening. So, I'll pull out the freebies. First to post and join in the fun receives a free karma. We won't be giving out another for several hours, so come right in and step right up.

Oh... I use a different language, I live a different life, I grew up with totally different culture, and my English... well, you know.
So, I will dare post on this thread, although I am afraid I didn't understand what the second post have to do with the first...
Just my little contribution to this crazyness:

My football team (what USA people erroneous call soccer team) is Cruzeiro. My avatar is its symbol.
Cruzeiro never won the world championship. Cruzeiro won the brazilian championship only twice. But managed to win the Continental Championship twice. But these facts doesn't matter; what matters is that all of you dogfight players will repeat after me:

"Cruzeiro rules. Cruzeiro rules. Cruzeiro rules."

Repeat this mantra exactly 1922 times, in the afternoon, while you look to the west, as the sun goes down. With blue underwear. After doing so, you can tell others that you know a lot of football.

Please, do whatever you want with my karma points after that... lol

Jack, you're something else. More power to you brother! Gin and tonic please.



Oh and give the karma to Blue Max

I believe when life gives you lemons, run up the black flag and start slitting throats.

One gin and tonic coming up, but it looks like Ped beat you to the punch.

I'm trying to find my blue drawers... Lets see... Found them!

Thanks Parrot...

And Ped, because you were the first to post... We are adopting Cruzeiro as our official hometown soccer team. Any and all others may be discussed, but the Cruzeiro posters are now firmly on the wall.

See Ped, craziness has its rewards.

The other official hometown teams: The University of Kentucky Wildcats college basketball, The Green Bay Packers NFL, and last, but certainly not least, the St Louis Cardinals MLB. All other teams hometown status may be purchased with one karma point to another player, with a brief explanation of why they deserved it. Just do it without too many sappy feelings...

I'm not much of a talker, but ill sip a Bloody Mary while I sit in the back and listen.

Karma + for JackIpe, the newest cruzeirense in the world!! lol

By the way, "our" team won the local derby last sunday! It was "heluvan" amazing game... and we were one man down during the last half!!!! The bad side is that it was no cold beer on the stadium, and no paper on the stadium's toilets... I went home without my underwears (I used them to some unwritable task) - but went home happy as a rat on a trash can. My head is still hurting.

Ouch. Btw. What is it with 1/3 people anywhere in the US being a die hard Steelers fan? I've been to Pittsburg. It's not THAT big. What gives? (Don't tell me its just their awesomeness)

I've went fishing wearing jeans and come home wearing shorts... You do what you have to do. No shame!

Oh, and to speak about something you USA mad old monkeys understand, I used to be a fan of Detroit Pistons... Isiah Thomas was amazing!

I was a kid when Jordan was king. Then again, he still kind of is isn't he?

Ok, Jack. I propose the Carolina Hurricanes for our NHL team. Just have my karma to Blue Max, a fellow MOM under attack from some unknown person, without the stones to confront him directly. So in the name of brotherly love, GO CANES!

Great idea Jack. By the way I loaded the juke box with plenty of Buffett. I'll spin some every once I a while if you don't mind

PACKERS ALL DAY WHO'S WITH ME!!!

It was Michael Jordan who begun the end of the "era" of Detroit Pistons... It was 1995 or 1996, if I am not wrong... I was 25-26 years old... Long time ago... Don't push so hard on my 14 neurons.
But yeah, in a certain way Jordan is the reason I lost interest for basketball - as I lost interest for spanish football after Lionel Messi debut.
And to close with golden key my words about Basketball: long life to Oscar Schmidt!

Hurricanes it is. The Carolina Hurricanes are the official home team of the Jolly Roger. And Alex, the Packers already are official. You're amongst friends. Parrot: Margaritaville on Sirius XM is my number 2 preset, just behind Bluesville. I'm not an official Parrothead myself, but I'm pretty close.

Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes... (Its playing right now)

Here's a guy that would fit right in with you guys. Especially the one in the back sipping on the Bloody Mary...hummm she must have been a MoM... ...

Hey bartender and evryone,

Great place Jack!

I'm driving later so a tonic and lime for me please. May I be a first snack requestor? I love Chex Mix, but I live for those thin salty pumpernickels and wish I could find those readily available just by themselves! Mmmm! Please stock my imaginary snack-nirvana.

Anyone like darts? I suck, but I threw a lot of darts during one summer in southeast asia hanging after work at bars with a strongly Aussie crowd in their off weeks from working offshore oil rigs. What a riotous bunch.

Absolutely Manfred, and the first one is on me. We'll hook you up with the pumpernickels too. I'll have to run out and get them right quick. Parrot, can u watch the till?

Darts and pool are free. No bar top video games though. We don't sleep here.

Don't shoot, I'm unarmed!

And I've got the Second Amendment tattooed on my liberal lily white, latte drinking ass, so don't even THINK about kicking it, or you will be doing violence to the very Constitution of this great freedom loving land, in defense of which I am fully prepared to sacrifice Wig's and ScheiBe Kopf's lives! Sniff.

But not til I have one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer, please.

Now I am going to sit here trembling with unarmed fear behind Ped's soccer posters until my friend Chuck Norris shows up to bail me out. That's right beeyotches! I said Chuck Norris! He's a MOM! And I got him on SPEED DIAL! (Lie).

So don't get tricky with me, if you know what's good for you ...

No prob, Jack!

As the stand in barkeep and self-appointed DJ...

This one's for you Bopes

And as this place is called the Jolly Roger, lets have an appropriate tune to follow Bopes request.

Maybe my favorite JB song. I miss you PawPaw.

Relax and have a good time. We're so well armed that even Chuck Norris feels safer here. No worries though. Now if the boys wanna fight, we let em, but only when they both wanna throw down. The rest of us stand back and make wagers. It's all just a good time. You are expected to chip in to pay for any needed bail money or doctors bills if the hat is passed though.

I'll start with a good redneck drinking song that's on the jukebox in at least 3/4 of the bars in the southeastern United States.

I'll follow with my favorite Texas singer songwriter (and one of the nicest people you could ever meet) Max Stalling

I'll then follow with a great drinking song from Max, and a darn good answer if you like to drink alone...

Next, I'll throw in a few from the king of the blues himself Mr BB King!
