Week of Awesomeness update

Well, I'm working 2 for 2 here now. The Red Sox won a good game vs. the Orioles last Thursday, and then the Bengals trounced the Browns on Sunday. Both games were a blast - especially Sunday's.

Major thanks to my brother for the awesome belated birthday gift. As a Browns fan, he had to sit through endless taunting (at least it was mostly friendly) from Bengals fans. You know it's bad when you're being taunted by Bengals fans.

Anyway, he hung in there and at least got to cheer a few times - although a few of those times were directed at some of the bizarre fans sitting around us. Many were drunk and crazy. Most were just wearing hilarious fan outfits.

We saw a pregnant Browns fan who had her shirt pulled up and her giant pregnant stomach painted with a Browns helmet. We saw way too many middle-aged men wearing orange and black striped Zubaz pants on....and then there was Darth Vader.

Darth Vader sat a few rows down for us and was an obvious Bengals fan because his Vader helmet had tiger stripes painted on it. The guy also appeared to not have missed many meals during his lifetime, which led to us cruelly nicknaming him "Lard Vader" and imagining him using the force to bring himself another cheeseburger.

Lard Vader enjoyed standing up and stretching his arm out toward the field while wiggling his fingers in some sort of crude "turn your head and cough" motion that apparently was meant to be him using the force.

Anywho, the game was awesome. Next up is another Orioles game on Friday night where I'd actually like for the O's to win. Fat chance, but one can hope.
