> You dare post this -while- I am wearing my Bernie jersey? > "9b) Those who dare mention the unholy heathens who exist merely to provide targets for derision by fans of The One True Team: > I) Will be verbally abused by more sensible people. > I think this is all made very clear in the new version of the Forum Rules, not yet updated. It will soon be amended to include cookie-snacking prancers who cheer for Keyshawn instead of Wayne. > Mandatory CF content: "The Yankees are like the Knights of Thera, whereas The Other Team is much like the Empire, except less lovable." Discuss.
> II) Will be subjected to nearly unending lectures employing the phrase "37th pennant", "dynasty", and "majestic history".
> III) Will be reminded that their 1986 World Series victory was only made possible by the fact that their opponents still linger under the Curse of the Bambino. (A Yankee, of course. Only teams with Divine Favor get the ability to curse their rivals.)
> IV) Will be tricked into attending a CF-con, but when they arrive, the bus drops them off for a tour of Monument Park.
> V) Will be forced to visit the Yogi Berra Museum in Montclair, NJ with me, so I can try to find the resident Hall of Famer, and make him tell you a story from when he used to hang around with Proud Paternal Grandpa as a younger man.
> VI) Will be conditioned, via electric shocks and bells as needed, to well up with tears when Lou Gehrig's farewell speech is played.
> VII) Will be educated sufficiently until they remember important facts, like the difference between Billy Martin's 3rd and 4th firing as manager."
