Thought I'd count F-Bombs at last nights game given our new rules for verbal propriety. Logistics: First half count was taken from section AA, directly in front of the Timbers Smarmy. Second half count was taken from section 109 (Ultras) row 6 on the aisle. In the first half, I counted 22 loudly yelled, and distinct F-Bombs. Almost one F-Bomb every other minute. The Smarmy soldiers used the F-Bomb in song, an "F-You San Jose" in a modified chant, some nasty yelling at a single quakes fan in AA playing an imaginary violin, and, my favorite, "F-you Homophobes". My God, think of the children. I counted 4 F-Bombs for the entire second half in 109 whilst in the mist of the Ultras. However, it must be noted that all 4 came from me, somewhat muted only impinging on the couple directly in front of me and were usually followed by " .... Garza ...ughhhhh" Faithfully submitted...

Taking one for the team there, FUAEG! Did you use notepaper? or just keep a running tally in your head? Sounds like a difficult assignment. I'm glad you were up to the challenge. go quakes! - Mark
Portland has the most strip clubs per capita of any city in the USA. Not sure how that relates to F-bombs, but it's true. go quakes! - Mark
AND, a huge bicycle community, including a giant bicycle that you can ride from brewpub to brewpub! The PedaLounge! It's a great idea. But Timbers fans whine about the refs more than any other fanbase in MLS. It's sad, but true. go quakes! - Mark
From across the stadium, the Timbers Army pre-game two armed salute brought to mind a Golden Dawn rally. Maybe Portland's alternative nickname could be Pasty Fans FC.
Minneapolis sees your PedaLounge (with it's no alcohol allowed on board policy. Also, that name! Wow.) and raises you a PedalPub (where you can drink while riding between bars).
Lighter! No need to lug around a bunch of ice for the beer! And the heavy snow from yesterday is nearly melted, so it's "November and Late-April" thankyouverymuch.
