Because everyone loves an underdog. That why people still love the mets or the Cubs. It's really easy to love a team like The Yankees who win on average of once every four years. Whats the challenge there, wheres the real glory? When you've committed to a team that doesn't win every few years, that bleeds and struggles and sweats blood every year just to get to the playoffs and when they finally make it, the glory is a thousandfold more than when you're into a team that wins all the time. In other words, it's worth the wait.

For the first time this year, Neckbeards have a reason to leave the house by AngryMulcairin metacanada

I guess this would feed into your thesis, but I have my American friends and family smuggle Fruity Pebbles into Canada for me at every possible opportunity. You people have no idea what you're missing. It's the Cancer causing red dye that is specifically enticing. Basically since moving to Canada , I've been denied my god given right to enjoy carcinogenic children's breakfast cereal.. and guldens spicy brown mustard.. What the fuck is wrong with you guys and brown deli mustard? It took me five years before I could even find brown mustard in this country.. Is it possible that it's the yellow mustard that makes us all peace loving and polite, because I cannot find a reason that someone should eat that shit other than it having some unseen benefit . Yellow Mustard is a sin against mankind..

Monday Morning Discussion: How much technology do you take with you on a cruise ship? by metssuckin Cruise

Kindle is a must. If I'm traveling without my wife, and theres available wifi on the ship I'll use my ipad to do Skype or something like that to keep in touch with my wife. Unfortunately often the wifi signals are not good enough to support this, and we have to keep it to text, but its much better than me calling from every island on either my phone or collect from a booth which because I'm in canada can get really pricey , in the hundreds of dollars . I try not to use the web when I'm on a cruise, so other than talking to my wife, I keep it off. but must have my kindle to read. for me the cruise is about sitting on the ship at sea and reading on the balcony or somewhere other than the lido deck. The more sea days the better!
