    One of my favorite writers about the darker side of being a fan, comes out with a great one this week about enjoying the good times, but expecting the bad:

    That is, bar none, the funniest article in sports history.

    Read some of his archived stories then LB, his writting is really fun and he seems to have lived a life worthy of worship.

    Yeah but sometimes it's a perfect analogy of what it means to be a Crew fan. :D

    "Mike's anaphylactic anal adventure," sounds like the title of a bad "mature" porn movie.

    Z,

    We have known each other for how long? And I have to go to Big Soccer to find your link to some guy who compares sports fan optimism to licking some vegetarian chick's peanuty butthole?

    How long have you been hiding this guy from me? Would it have killed you to send me an email when you first discovered him? Thanks a lot, d***hole.

    Hang,

    Don't go talking about licking peanuty buttholes and then refer to me as "meatmouth." In this particular context, the double entendre could have a misleading connotation, especially coming from a salad-tosser like yourself.

    I was wondering how long it would take this thread to reach comedy gold, looks like I have my answer.

    PS to Sirk, wasn't sure you'd want to read it at work, I guess I should have sent it.

    Also, as stated above, read his archives, the man is a genius and I aspire to his greatness.

    All I could think of while reading that was "Man, he should've had some jelly with that."

    Should get his terminology right though. It's not the aflatoxins (and there shouldn't be any in peanuts passed fit for human consumption) that cause the anpahylaxis, it's the peanut allergens.
