hahaha. you hit the nail on the head. browns and bengals fans have accepted that they're never really very good (especially browns fans. sorry pj) HOWEVER, since we're rivals i always get met with the "oh, you're a steelers fan? why? fuck the steelers. they suck." then i have to point out our superbowl record, then they respond with "so, who cares about that. they suck this year." it's a constant back and forth....
I grew up in Steeler country (Wheeling, WV and thereabouts), but have always been a Browns fan, unlike my dad and brother. So, now, I'm a Browns, Cavs, Indians (AL), and Reds (NL) fan living in Cincy. It's fun because in week 7 when the Browns playoff hopes inevitably die, I just quietly hope the Bengals run the table. That way I get 2 crushing defeats in a season! I'm not sure why I do this to myself. At least my Bearcats are lights out this year.
i have family in Wheeling, didn't really realize that it was considered "steeler country" still. makes sense why my dad (he grew up in ohio just on the otherside of the state line from wheeling) was a steelers fan, and thus i am a steelers fan.

Hooray Wheeling folk! Yup, only 60 or so miles from Pittsburgh, and a pretty easy drive. What town was your dad from? I literally lived in the town directly across the river from Wheeling.

OMG! that's hilarious! it really is a small, small world. my dad grew up in a house on harrison st i think it was called... i just remember it was like a block away from a Dairy Queen and near the public pool. vaguely remember going under some train tracks or something to get there. i have a lot of good memories of that house when i was a kid. unfortunately the house is like 150 years old and my Nana couldn't take care of it alone after my Pap-Pap died (yes, nana and pap pap) so just moved a couple of years ago. it was sad. i loved that house.

That DQ was (and is) the BEST in the summer. I went to the private school around the corner and we would always cut out for lunch and eat there instead.

Hi Dan. Thanks for coming to a meeting. A lot has changed since you went away. Do not be frightened. There are check-in stations so you can let let friends know exactly when and where you are taking a dump in a field in TN. Still no shade or running water.

Welcome, chubs! I see you're in Winston Salem now. I've got family there and I'm from Raleigh, though I live in Louisville now. What are you most looking forward to about Bonnaroo this year?

Hmmm...I think mostly looking forward to just being there to be honest. Constantly hearing music, meeting new and awesome people and just doing something that I never thought of doing makes me so pumped that I'm going!
