Hell yes! I’m going to Vegas for the Superbowl! Woo Hoo!
Vegas fun fact: Camels were used as pack animals in Nevada as late as 1870.
The gentle chiming of the slot machines, I can hear them now. That oasis in the desert, how it calls to me.
I don’t care if I have to eat Top Ramen for the next month, I’m going to Vegas! Nothing lifts the spirits like something to look forward to.
>Right on! It’s football pre-season again. It means fall is right around the corner. I know the Raiders suck and will be lucky if they win more than 4 games, but you’ve got to support your team through thick and thin. You can’t be a fair-weather fan.
The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
swaggering boisterously
His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With his silver hat about his head
And a bristly black moustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold
The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He’ll knock you ’round and upside down
And laugh when he’s conquered and won
Nick >I think Balloon Pirate will like that poem. Did you make that up? btw, I’m the worst of fair-weather fans, spoiled by the Cowboys.
SFChick74 >It’s one of the Raiders’ theme songs. I wish I’d written it, but I hate poetry.
copygodd >go browns!
>I am jealous!
>You know the guy who invented instant ramen died.
>I remember seeing camel races in Nevada when I was a kid…
I’m going to Vegas for RollerCon in August. I can’t wait!!
