eh, I've had smoke bombs not only dropped right under my feet, but all surrounding kinda played pass back and kept it in my genreal area, all the while looking intently at the field liek "what? ME? Feck no Its OBVIOUSLY coming from this guy!" And yes this was in the Barra, the point is that i can see no way you can get burned OR ill from a cheesy smoke bomb. Road flares, yes. Fusee's, yes. for petes sakes, maybe sparkelers, maybe. but look at those picts, those are 9th grade smoke bombs. how flaming could they have been? seems like a weak complaint.
I saw the smoke on the quiet side and my initial reaction was "Hey! Check that out! Cool!" With another thirty seconds' thought, my reaction was, not a good idea. That stuff has no place on the quiet side. Doing stuff on the quiet side that we are allowed to get away with in the supporters' groups (e.g., smoke, flags, standing on seats, open drunkenness, smoking, cussing) will either (a) drive away that portion of DC's fans who want a more family-friendly atmosphere or (b) cause a crackdown of that behaviour stadium-wide. Like Chico said - send him over to 135, that's where he belongs. (better yet, send the seat-poacher to the Barra ticket window and have him buy his ticket from us in the first place!)
Yes, I do. Did anyone know that Big Soccer has a minimum word count for a post? It must be five characters. I tried "yes" and got a "no" when it came time to submit reply.
Nice in theory. Gets old real quick in practice when it happens every single week. It becomes very annoying when you show up every week and have to ask people to move - sometimes they are nice, sometimes they are dicks about it. A tip to those truly fed up with it. Have your season tickets moved down to a section in the 100's - I'm sure you can move midseason if you want to. My wife and I moved our family down there a couple of years ago for this very reason. What's so great about the 100s? We call it the "gated community" - to gain access to your seats you have to show your tickets to an usher you gives you entry. The seat hoppers are virtually non-existent down there and the price for tickets is no different... The view is different - you're closer so that's good but you don't have as much of a perspective so you lose a little bit. But if you're annoyed beyond belief by the seat hoppers I believe this is your best long-term solution...
This is one of the funnies threads I have read in a while. Makes me want to bring up small package of pyro for a game. Besides some smoke grenades, maybe I could add in a couple of star clusters, or maybe even better a flash bang. That would get the quiet side off their asses. No clue what type of smoke grenade was used, but the type we use can cause fires when they are first lit, it is possible to be burnt without touching it, in the first second or two. After that, just lots of smoke, and don't touch the can without thick gloves.
This could all be alleviated if people would just pay attention and buy the slightly more expensive sulphur-free smoke bombs (oh and don't wave them around when you first light them, as the wick burns). The smoke is very cool looking, the sulpur is not so pleasant.
not sure - I can usually find them when I'm fireworks shopping - however, I don't do that nearly enough to be of help ....
The thing looked like a distress marker, but it was hard to tell since it was stuck in my face and I couldn't see much for a minute or so. Maybe I should call my buddies down at New River and they can send up some Cobras and they can shoot a bunch of White (it's actually 'red' but looks white) Phosphorous rockets into the pitch - how's that? I could go an entire season without one smokebomb going off in RFK and I'd be perfectly happy. 4th of July is enough for me. It's kind of disconcerting that any of that crap gets in to begin with. The next thing you know, some retard will bring in a stick of dynamite - you know, just as a joke -- he wouldn't mean to hurt anyone...
He won't be happy about that - But I did get to have a nice chat with him at the game. Welcome to the supporters side BudWiser! (and thanks for the beers) I can see the game just fine from my seats with the supporters. I watch the whole game. I love you Riz - that's all that matters.
I know, it's crazy in Italy. It started all innocent with flares and smokes long ago, you should see what they're up to now, last Saturday they shot a tactical nuke bought from former soviet republic of Ksjgsaksjdla into the pitch Smoke bombs are to WMDs as marijuana is to heroin
Potassium nitrate and sugar makes a great (white) smoke bomb. It burns pretty hot, tho'. Now don't you kids try this at home! Oh, please -- puhleeease leave willy pete at home. Srdan, your word association phrase sounds like a sig line! GM
I've never heard of a "gateway" WMD before. Makes about as much sense as the marijuana : heroin analogy
I'm still trying to noodle the implied relationship between the female protagonist and maryjane. In fact, I'm still wondering who in the hell is the Gloria in the Barra's motto! GM
While I'm at it, has anybody figured out why a bridge freezes in front of the road??? And why would the Dept of highways make a sign for it? GM
Yeah, and isn't it possible to make your own homemade napalm out of gasoline and soap? We ought to host a Barra science fair at an upcoming tailgate. Wait 'till you see what I can make out of several boxes of Sudafed and a few other simple household chemicals
Me too - granted, I'm usually standing on a chair to do so when the big guys decide to park in front of me, but I have no problems watching the whole match and I do so each time I'm in the stadium. And I love you too Jess.
