I took that (those) statement(s) as, "Damn. That's a wound that still hurts. Man, if I had the chance to go over there and tell them what I *really* think, I would do it! Well, okay, not really. But it's nice to have that feel in a community where I'm not going to get slapped at for having that feel."

I wasn't saying to go to tv tropes. I was saying that another group of internet friends has discovered tvtropes and are talking about it, and I want to tell them so they know why I don't support it. But they aren't as close as we are, so I don't. But it just sort of brings it up again for me, in a way I would rather it not. I do tell the story in real life sometimes.

Oh, thank God, my mortgage company finally reissued my escrow surplus check. I am so relieved, I thought that money was gone for good. Now to figure out when I can get to the credit union to deposit it...

Yeah, I was talking about what Sophia was saying. In other sources, when it comes up, I feel like it's almost disingenuous to not say what my reasons are for not using the site. I'm kinda over glossing over stuff to protect what, his feelings? Yeah, no. I'm not going to change anyone's mind over it because what do they care, and because it's a genuinely useful and entertaining site. But I'm also not going to nod along to how brilliant he is for what was our idea.

But I am also like Teppy in the grudge holding. I'm still pretty pissed at the Browns moving from Cleveland. So this is not one of the most equitable areas of my life.

The Browns moved from Cleveland

Yes, to Baltimore. In 1995. They got new Browns in Cleveland in 1999, but nobody from there is over it yet. (Also, they are not very good.)

Surely the Colts leaving Baltimore is worse.

Don't get me started on the Raiders' many moves. Al Davis has a lot more than that to answer for, of course.

I was planning on running today, I should put on some Nike stuff just do it, right? Those zombies aren't going to chase themselves.

Meanwhile, Baltimore loves the Ravens (nés Browns) but is still pissed about the Colts. And I know people who were born in the 70s and are still not over the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn in the 50s.

Nothing like sports for total not getting over stuff.

(Me? I just hate the Cardinals because they were the accidental beneficiaries of the Phillies having a massive losing streak in 1964.)

If I were less lazy, more articulate, and less in fear of bring the wrath of idiots down upon us, I'd have gone all MsScribe takedown, frankly.

My soul loses nothing if I mention someone's abusive and immoral behavior.

Oh, please. You want a sports grudge? DO YOU???

I'm from Cincinnati. I grew up during the Big Red Machine. Two words: Pete. Rose.

I know all the arguments about gambling, integrity, blar blar blar. Don't care. He should be in the Hall of Fame, and Bart Giamatti can burn in hell.
