Bulls make money, Bears make money, but underdogs get slaughtered
With that cathartic post out of the way, I can resume my shows of support in a slightly more civilized and better laid out manner. If Picasso had used HTML, it might have looked something like that.
Here is a story on ESPN today about Jerome Bettis going home. It's a good story. I printed it out. Seattle will be without their treasured 12th man for the big game, and I expect Seattle fans to be outnumbered by upwards of 3 to 1. However, it's worth pointing out that the Steelers will be without some of their intangible advantages as well, being actually favored by 4 points and technically (and in some cases, literally) considered the home team. Coach Cowher is nevertheless having his boys wear the away jerseys. I'm a bit worried that Seattle has something of a right to be incensed about being listed as underdogs, being the #1 seed against a #6 seed. Lately it seems that the whole "no respect" mentality can go a long way, but only as long as it holds true...as Mr. Brady recently found out. I mean, people stopped disrespecting the Patriots after they won Super Bowl XXXVIII, if you ask me. They just started purely loathing them at that point, and Mr. Brady confused the sentiments. Or possibly identified them correctly and tried to distort them to his advantage. Either way, disaster. So I think it would be best for the Steelers to drop the "nobody thinks we can" line and instead run with a "nobody thought we could, but now we've convinced most of them, so we have to show that we weren't kidding."
The call is hereby put out far and wide: Stereo Agency plays its inaugural show at the Old Brewery Tavern this Friday from 10-1. It will be crazy, and if intel is correct, there will be plenty of loose Moravian ladies for those of you who like to bitch about the Funhouse's lack of scarlet women. Dr. Mindbender will be there to work his thought-controlling legerdemain prior to taking out his high-interest loan. Hopefully y'all will have learned by now how to behave when he's not there. ("SHUT UP!")

HOLY FUCK. I NEED TO SEE YOU GUYS PLAY LIVE. Can you book a show in the Valley like, 5 months ahead of time, so I have ample opportunity to call off?
Or, play a show out here, Chicago/Madison. But be sure to bring all the loose Moravian hoes along with you.
Done, and done.
And by the way, all this talk of Pittsburgh going to the Super Bowl makes me think of only one thing... and that's "Sixteen Steelers trapped in an elevator...givin' each other hummers...."
LOVE IN A FERRALL-A-VAY-TAHHHH
LUVVIN' IT UP WHEN SHE'S GOIN' DOWWWWWN
since when were YOU dating Dxxxxx Mxxxx?
a) Call me or I'm finding a new DJ/giving up.
b) Mike Cunningham, a bartender/alcoholic at OBT claims to have no knowledge of a Stereo Agency show this Friday, so nice job with the promotion.
That's Julie's freakin' job. If there aren't posters up by tomorrow I'm gonna have a fun time with her in the OBT bathroom whether she likes it or not.
