The Rules for Cubs Fans (2008 Edition)

[WilcoFan]

Got a new column for which I'm soliciting ideas. I'm putting together a list of "the Rules for Cubs Fans" for the 2008 season. In other words, what are things that Cubs fans must do in order to maintain a level of Cub Fan Dignity. For example: No more towel jokes.

 

Anyway, I'm trying to solicit as many ideas as possible so that it becomes a regular feature on this site, so if you wouldn't mind checking it out and maybe posting some ideas, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all the help.

-Do not attack Bob Howry on the mound just because he gave up a massive lead. Scott Eyre in worse shape, and has less of a chance to catch you if you nail him and run off.

[MemphisVol]

Be very careful when you pronounce the name of our right-fielder.

[Post Count Padder]

Lou can kick you into a well, so beware.

 

Certain players can still be referred to as "Dusty-type" players.

[BCVM22]

Anyone who tries to start the wave at Wrigley will be shot on sight.

[Roast]

Anyone who mentions bartman, black cats, etc will also be shot on sight.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

please use the toilets/urinals and if you can't, at least make it into one of the restrooms

[Roast]

Please tip the crowd management personnel, they work hard for you.

 

 

 

 

 

8-) I mean, what?

If you see anyone who looks like Roast working at Wrigley, harass him unmercifully. :wink:

If you've drank yourself to the point of vomiting, you know your target.

[Twiggy]

Hahahaha, crap.

[Tyrant]

Don't say "Cubbies."

[Roast]

No matter what wrigleys name changes to - call it wrigley.

[seanimal]

freak out about everything - no matter how inconsequential it may appear upon a second, third, or even fiftieth look

[Wilson A2000]

because you might miss an incredible finish to the game!

Harry Caray said cubbies thus it making your opinon null and void

[UK1679666180]

I would put not acting like a drunken clown at the top of my list.

[BCVM22]

Harry Caray said cubbies thus it making your opinon null and void

 

Harry also once said, and I quote, "That couple sitting out there has a system. He kisses her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls" during a live broadcast. Does that mean that we should make jokes about genitalia and oral sex (Felix Pie threads notwithstanding)?

 

Seriously, there's nothing worse than the clueless fan, in their clean, new hat and their pinstriped ringer t-shirt (you've all seen them) bearing the name and number of a player whose first name/position they can't name, shouting "I LOVE MY CUBBIES! WOOOOOO!"

 

Just say no to Cubbies.

It's nothing like that. :-k

[ConstableRabbit]

No "Lets Go Cubbies" chant?

[jiml60]

Cubbies is right there with Lovable Losers. Both are terms Sox fans like to use to denigrate Cub fans.

What?

 

Have you ever been to a cubs game?

 

I'm pretty sure the 38,000 people chanting "lets go cubbies" aren't sox fans.
