Lost My Virginity

Some of my friends here thinks its really strange that I spent a whole year and didn't go to a single football game. Well I went yesteday and what a great time.

Everyone meets at the pub at 5:00 PM and drinks and smokes and eats bacon rolls. And then the game starts. No beer is allowed in the stadium seats, but you can always go down to one of the 4 pubs at the stadium. Most people only go at half-time.

And then its more football. My adopted team, Leyton's Division 3 Orient, won the game 3-2. My favororite thing were the chants. When Orient was up 3-1 some of the chants were:

Can we play you every week?
CAn we play you every week?

and another one something like:

Are you Scotland in Disguise
Are you Scotland in Disguise

and there were great roars of:

East London East London
East London East London

and directly after a score they pointed at the other team's stands and cajoled:

You're not singing any more
You're not singing any more

and there were plenty of other ones I can't remember.

And then after the game you go back to the pub and drink until they throw everyone out at 11:30 in time for the last tube.

No wonder people like football here.

Wish I'd been there.

Which beats Seahawks games where it costs $30, nobody drinks, nobody cheers, and then you lose and go home and get stoned wishing you never wasted your time and money in the first place...

I can get into the seahawks and the Arizona games for $20. It's funny we played the San Diego Chargers and there was more of them then cards fans. All the Card fans could yell was "well the D'backs are better than the podras. And the cheerleaders were so bad. First off I thought all their silicone tits were going to melt in the sun- see I got a great view and some were actually hot, literally. (my fourth novel is going to be about a middle-aged over weight alcholoic PI who teams up with a young beautiful cheerleader to solve a mystery surrounding strippers deaths-- so this was all reasearch you see) anyway it is so fucking hot there that the 200 fans sit way up far from the field because it's shaded. i was right on the sideline almost battling the evil heat and yelling at marty Shotinhiemer. If you remember a couple years ago marty did something that hurt my beloved Pack so i still hate the man. Where was i? I don't know. time to go for a drink and a swim. Yesterday we bought plastic mugs that keep drinks cold to take to our private pool. bye. by the way, I already emailed Jack Chiefton about this but anyone who wants to come to the evil heat, your welcome. I don't know anyone down here. Martino, you up for another trip?

Ha ha! I can't believe you say the new Primal Scream is called Evil Heat, how apt a title could that be for you down there?
I was just gonna mention how much the baseball strike disgusted me. Players...making an average
of $2,000,000 a year going on strike for more money. What's wrong with this picture? Now, I don't care for baseball to begin with, but jeez a little respect for the fans would be cool, eh? Can you say "G.R.E.E.D."?
Well I'm certainly mouthing off tonight...must be the Guinness.
