It turns out that she was "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful and 2 percent angry. She was less than 1 percent neutral, and not at all surprised". :eek:

GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! :(

Because she figured out a way to get back at AEG.

We will be back and we will be wearing red.

How awesome would that be!

Also, maybe this time, the club will recognize the past and the history of the Earthquakes name dating back to 1974?

Hey Wee Man --

Can you delete some of your old Private Messages? I'm trying to send you a new one.

Thanks!

Wee Man,
Can you ensure the red unis that we had last year for the anniversary game? That was one of the finest soccer uniforms I have ever seen. It's a subtle red. I've got a replica of the Quakes original (with the white and black stripes down the side), but I think the one last year beats it.

The Quakes simply belong in red. The "blue period" may have witnessed two championships and a Supporter's Shield, but it also brought the Krafts, AEG and ultimately the betrayal of the fans. When the team rises from the ashes for a third time, let's "kick the blues" and bring back the traditional red! :)

My Quakes are the Quakes of (relatively, for football in the US at least) long-term tradition, the Quakes of George Best, Godfrey Ingram, Leonardo Cuellar, Wim Suurbier, Jan Goosens, Steve Zungul, Branko Segota, Laurie Calloway, Tim Hanley and, indeed, Johnny Moore. You wouldn't bring the Cosmos back to life in NY and have them play in, say, orange and purple, so why bring back the Quakes and have them play in anything but the colours that the likes of the aforementioned legends played in?

We have the chance to do things right this time. Let's take advantage of the opportunity and restore the tradition.

You may have something there. The research has shown for some time that when you put prisoners in a pink holding cell, they really calm down. If you put them in a red one, they become very aggressive. Beige is a color to paint your room if you want an alert, studious atmosphere, etc., etc. Colors do have a psychological effect.

I read many theories about the Mona Lisa over the years, one of the strangest being that Leonardo da Vinci actually painted a female version of himself. :eek:
