I have big team loyalty even when I hate star players and owners. And I get people hating the Cowboys, I just don't, and I will take the mocking and harassment when they are losing and will taunt like a giant taunter when they are winning. It's not like they are the most dominant sports team in American sports history.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
this is why I like the Olympics, where the players on the team you root for are at least usually from that place
There's too much training abroad and wangling citizenship in a country with a smaller talent pool I like to root for Jamaicans in general, but I have a softer spot for Jamaicans that live and train in Jamaica (uh, says the woman who hasn't lived there in a gazillion years).
On the flip side, I have to admit, I was claiming Ben Johnson for a while. But I'd have tossed him if he'd been running under my flag anyway.
Jamaicans will claim their own far and wide. We're grabby like that. But Usain Bolt will be closer to the nation's heart.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm listening to an MP3 of Eliot reading "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock." I love this poem so much.

Because books.
Aw, I adore Prufrock. It's gorgeous, and so much fun to pick apart.

Star Trekkin' across the universe / On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk / Star Trekkin' across the universe / Only going forward, still can't find reverse.
That's what's in my head.
Quick poll:
URL: earl, or ewe-arr-ell? If the latter, how wrong is the former?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
ewe-arr-ell
If the latter, how wrong is the former?
In my head, "earl" is wrong. So wrong, I was truly confused by it for a few seconds trying to decipher the meaning.

Very wrong. I think I have heard "ew-errl." But really, it's three letters. Spell it out.
