i saw this on another thread and it got me thinking....what are we gonna chant when they come around? remember, this is a once-in-a-season opportunity
Most of the ones I've thought of I had to reject due to PC-ness But Chivas, Mar-i-con, Mar-i-con, Mar-i-con.... Maybe we could borrow James Brown's "Living In America..." (seeing as their rivals are Club America.. and the perceived bias of Chivas?)
I'm fond of referring to them in my head as "las gotas," and hope that catches on for the false cognate's sheer absurdity.
That would mean glorying a team that the Smurf plays for Monty, do we want to set that dangerous precedent?
Heh. I like that, though it's not a false cognate. Forget the other term: false something-else. -R [Edit: or, upon reconsideration, maybe I'm full of $#@* again. I suppose it could be argued that false cognates lie in the mind of the beholder.]
(not that I troll or anything, but... ) Over on the Galaxy boards, as they prepare for their meeting with CDC, they are talking about "Goat Busters," as in "who ya gonna call?"
Well, it's false in that it sounds like it should mean "goats," but doesn't, much in the same way that "sopa" isn't "soap." I just like it because it's not insulting, just stupid and nonsensical.
some of us also had it off for chronic underemployment, but that's not as funny Some of us had the day off for the holiday, ya know.
Re: some of us also had it off for chronic underemployment, but that's not as funny If something smells, In your neighborhood, Who ya gonna call? Goat Busters! If they get blown out, And they can't dive good, Who ya gonna call? Goat Busters! I ain't fraid of no Goats!
Re: some of us also had it off for chronic underemployment, but that's not as funny "Taylor, Mullet, Taylor, Mullet" over and over "I-N-S!! I-N-S!!" "Where's your green card?" (clap clap clapclapclap) "Dos a cero" (clap clap clapclapclap) "America's better" (clap clap clapclapclap)--I like this one since it can be taken as reference either to America the country or Club America
Bump. Looks likely to be a foul filled mud bowl grudge match. A frustrated CDCU will be looking for points, and the Revs look to be joining them on the injury train. Revs are coming off six points in five days, can they make it 9 in 8?
My guess is that the only player that won't dress is Riley. Franchino has been held out to maximize his healing prior to returning to playing as has Ralston and Cassio. I think we have enough depth to allow all those nursing the bug or a knock to sit out the Chivas match. My guess we will see: Reis Heaps. Parkhurst, John Ralston, Joseph, Dempsey, Noonan, Leonard TnT, Dorman
They'll be hungry, but in my estimation with the form the boys are in we can easily dispatch our ersatz amigos back to their LA duplex.
Dorman played pretty deep in the midfield against Chicago... so if we substitute Ralston for Riley, we have: ----------- Reis ----------- Heaps -- Parkhurst --- John ---- Joseph --- Dorman ---- Ralston - Dempsey - Leonard --- Twellman --- Noonan --- If Cancela, Franchino, Ralston and Cassio can play, then we might look more like: ------------ Reis ------------ Heaps - Parkhurst - Franchino ---- Joseph --- Dempsey ---- Ralston --- Cancela --- Cassio --- Twellman ---- Noonan --- With Dorman in reserve for any of the central players, Leonard for the wing and defensive players, and John for the defense.
