Ok, so I can't spell, but that just makes this thread better. In the spirit of today's silly season, who's the real-est of the "Real" Crew fans? Lots of rep requests are what it will take to fully actualize this thread.
So real fans, eh? I'll throw out something to think about. 1. Real fan = somebody grounded in reality about Crew fortunes & endevours 2. Real fan = not a poser, but somebody who is more sophisticated than the u-9 group and the soccer families in attendance 3. Real fan = re'al (or however the spanish would accent it) fan, one with a royal edict of superiority and leader of the pfifedom (and yes, my spelling sucks w/o spell check, this is well documented)
When did you get hired as Zak's administrative assistant? Or are you just his proxy now when he's not around?
I'm disappointed about being left off, as if there is one thing I do well, it's keepin' it real. Word.
another sign that the crew forum has gone manic and should see a doctor that can prescribe paxil. btw, I voted for myself. Because I drive six hours.
You know this reminds me of the Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate. You have atleast some of the similiar elements: the polished one, the liberal, the vet, the crazy guy, and the woman. I don't know where BA fits into that picture, though. I'm watching the TiVo'd Rupublican Debate tonight and perhaps I can come up with an analogy with that.
Personally I'm lining up with the Sex Pistols on this. I don't want to be a member of your fookin' Hall Of Fame. It goes completely against the idea of being a "real" fan. F**k your hall and f**k your list I'm goin' out and kill a puppy than I'm gonna set a DC fan on fire. Yeah!...or something like that.
Will the winner be driven around in a corvette during halftime of the next match? Who do i want to see with a tiara...
We're such a massive club, I didn't want to overwhelm our dear voters with choices. If I included all regular posters on the board, we'd end up with 40 or more people. It'd be worse than a French election. Right now I can think of FlyerFan Froggy's New Pants Zak Foosinho CLG431 C-Bus 9 Rush Virginian West Ham Sandwich MFRONE Placid Casual pettyfog fotobass Grouchy Nonesuch Plowmanoo The Imposter KCBus TimD AaronD And that's from a cursory glance at the most recent threads. Hang is disqualified from this poll by his recent move to Maine. What I was trying to do was give a brief flavoring of the smörgåsbord this forum has to offer. Maybe what we need is a Real-Fan Face Off, complete with seedings and a bracket.
The absurd fantasy land Sirk wraps himself in on a weekly basis appears to have made him the "real-est" fan by a large margin mid-day trading. No indication as to whether irony will continue its robust investing until the final bell.
So Chels, care to match names w/ descriptions from your candidate debate? I mean, honestly, I can point at half of these people to be "the crazy guy". As for being a real fan, I promise that if I'm elected, that all unreal fans will be brought in for a mandatory re-orientation and assimilation training program. With cutting edge audio-visual stimulation and psychologoical analysis from our panel of experts, we will revitalize the streets around Hudson and Velma Ave into a vibrant center of growth, diversity, creativity, freedom, the American dream, and MLS triumph. Furthermore, the deportation of Un*ted and F*re fans will be authorized, sending them to the pit of dispair and misery where they truly belong and can no longer harm our fair denizens... BlowMeOntario Park in Toronto, Canada! A vote for me is a vote for a better Columbus, and a better America.
You ever hung with Sirk on a matchday? He's not making that stuff up. Oh yeah, almost forgot: dishes done!
Well I voted for myshap in consideration of his excellent work on the roster thread and his generally even disposition. But I wouldn't mind terribly, come convention time, if he throws in to gain a majority with Sirk. Myshap for Vice-Realist?
I vote Chris Bailey. he's so damn real he is working for the Chicago fire and infiltrating their operations on a daily basis. thats hardcore yo! But seriously, we'll know who's the "realist" when we win the supporters shield this year and then the trophy is given to Crew fan of the year. The front office will tell give us the answer then.
