This reminds me of going to the baseball game with Fay at the SF2F, and trying to explain it to her. Didn't Hec use LotR as a metaphor?
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That was my strategy, yes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
"Take me out to the ball game" is played in the 7th inning. "Sweet Caroline" is played in the 8th.

Some stadiums play "God Bless America" after "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." (This started after 9/11, and as far as I can tell, it's continued because no one wants to be the person saying, "Hey, let's stop playing 'God Bless America'!")

Do we need to explain "The Wave" to Jars? Or is that international?

I don't think they do The Wave at Fenway. I mean, you could try, but I expect you'd get a beer poured down your back.

I have personally done The Wave at Fenway! Twice, in the later 1980s.

At Fenway, also, it's perfectly acceptable to shout out "Yankees Suck!" at any random time, even if they're not actually playing the Yankees that game.
