    Most of the people here are way old to understand this reference but... Throw him a pokeball. 

    Or a Cabbagepatch Kid.?

    Yepp... It flied right above you... 

    (pokeballs are used to capture pokemons, the main goal being capturing them all so you had one of each kind. Thus "throw him a pokeball" is a slang used when someone finds someone special or rare. I never played Pokemon though, but it's a thing of kids of the 90s)

    Yeah, but how long can you keep a hula hoop going? And do you have a coonskin cap anywhere??

    I knew I had to check, but it's almost 4am so... Thanks

  • However, the past tense of "fry" is not "frew", it is "fried"...

    Oh English... you tricky, tricky language.

    Reminds me of a George Carlin bit you'll love... if I can find it...

    Turns out there's a great Carlin bit on idioms, but the one I was thinking of was by Gallagher...

    Sure, last 5-10 yrs CLE-PIT has been pretty one-sided, but :

    Problem is that it's rarely been anything but one-sided.

    We dominated them in the 50 and 60's, although they did make a move in the late-50's winning 4 of 6 in '58 thru '60.

    They owned us in the 70's and early 80's.

    Only on the approach to the mid-80's did the rivalry really heat up and stayed fairly hot thru '92.

    Of course '93 was the strike year and we won, but the rest of that decade was basically theirs.

    And don't have to go thru what the rebirth has wrought... at least until now... 🙂

    Thanks for repeating what I said several times in the other rivalry discussion.

    "English is not a language, it's 3 languages wearing a trench coat pretending to be 1."

    If you ever think English is not ridiculous, just remember: Read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme, but read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead.

  • We can get this thread back on track tomorrow if we need to...

    Meanwhile...

  • OP here.  Yeah, there is a rivalry here.  It is still growing and not quite the level that Steelers-Ravens is, but it is there.  I suspect it will be amped up next year due to the beat down that the Browns gave us this last week.

    I live in an area where there a large amount of Steelers/Ravens fans.....Never here anyone talk about the Browns except the week they play them...don't understand how some on here get butt hurt about the rivalry...I mean come on...look at all the important great games on national tv and the playoffs the Ravens/Steelers have had...look at all the star power.....it is one of the great rivalries in all of sports.  Browns start winning and they will get there

  • Hi Steelers fan, that's a nice posting, wouldn't expect those type of postings from our arch rivals, but your greeting is welcomed by me. Yes we havea young, talented team, and hopefully this team can get back to being AFC North Champs for the 1st.time.
