Curses!

Now that the Boston Red Sox have finally won the Word Series for the first time since 1918, the Curse of the Bambino has finally been broken. This leads us to an interesting point. Without the yearly ritual of disappointment for Red Sox fans, what will they do with their lives? They no longer have excuses to be the bitter, resentful pathetic sports fans that they are.

I propose we fill that void in their lives with new curses.

Curse of the BIg Dig:
The Big Dig will suffer labor disputes, stalling its completion. It will be resolved in 2018 by a union official named George Hermann (no relation).

Curse of the Chowda
All Boston Clam Chowder will curdle after the seventh minute on the stove.

Curse of the Tea Party
For the next 86 years, tea will never last longer than 7 minutes before losing its steam.

Any other curses we should cast upon them?

    May all previously bitter Boston fans that wear “Mighty, Whitey, Tight-ies” Have their beloved utilitarian draws stained pink by mixing in a beloved Red Sock with every wash. The act will become a new mental disorder, opening up a new line of Social Work for the Curling fans.

    Did they burn cop cars?

    “Curse of the Kennedys” All Irish Catholic politicians will die mysteriously and, oh wait, that one’s real. :???:

    Curse of the Irish

    Curse Of the Tea
    Every 7 years, Boston shall be inundated with a reign of teara.

    The curse of the fake cowboy.
    Any person caught wearing “cowboy-atire” and who is not actually a cowboy will die a horrible death by either fire or poisonous spiders.

    I would curse them with “Never being able to win another Word Series or World Series forever..”

    Pedantically Yours

    How about the “Curse of having a World Series where only America is represented?” :razz:

    Shoosh, don’t be a party pooper :twisted:

    Dave,

    Can I shamelessly promote the article I wrote today on another site?

    http://motorcitybadkitty.com/MT/mt-tb.cgi/1252

    :twisted:

    Perhaps you could read it too if you get time, because I think its quite good.

    :???:

    Actually that link doesn’t work! :limp:

    And I thought I’d got the hang of this website stuff…..:sad:

    They will automatically have their names legally changed to “Afflek”.

    of course, there’s DAVEZIRRA’s speciar curse: the missing “r” key on his keyboard.

    As an Irish Red Sox Fan in Boston, I am both hurt and frightened.

    Dave, I think you have confused the Red Sox fans with Skankee fans, bitter is not a word that can be associated with Red Sox fans. Broken, shattered, emotionally stressed are. Pathetic? Pathetic would be for people who run around feeling sorry for themselves. If you have ever been to, or watched a Skankees / Sox game on TV, pathetic is not what Red Sox fans are. Violent, Obnoxious, and Drunk are words that can be used without a problem.

    I am frightened of all these curses being thrown around.

    Logically then Anonymous,

    Your a broken, shattered, emotionally stressed fellow with violent alcoholic tendancies and and obnoxious streak to boot.

    Where as Dave (as far as I know) has none of the above disfunctions.

    Wonder who I’d listen to? :evil:

     
  16. ReV.JeLLyBaBy, 29, October 2004, 9:39 |  

    P.S hold that last “and”. I’ll have an “an” instead.

    Shaken but not stirred…

    That comment above wasn’t meant to be anonymous.

     
  18. Danno, 29, October 2004, 9:47 |  

    Jellybaby,

    Yes, I would say that would be an accurate way to describe a Red Sox fan.

    I just wouldn’t want to start any rumors that suggest we are pathetic or bitter.

     
  19. ReV.JeLLyBaBy, 29, October 2004, 9:53 |  

    Well you won the World Series!

    So what you getting all bitter about?

    It’s pathetic Danno….go get plastered and have fun for Christs sake!

    :lol:

    The Curse of the Bambino still lives, though now with a different meaning!

    All those drunken, obnoxious, alcoholic fans with violent streaks got SO excited when the Sox won that they went out and boinked all willing without thought. We’re talking good looking, ugly, thin, fat, short, tall people fornicating all over the place…………so now, in 9 months a WHOLE NEW CURSE begins! MORE SOX FANS!!!! :wtf:

    Of course, the disappointment MAY still occur…..all these offspring COULD fall in love with YANKEES FANS!! :oops:

    Hey! I resemble the recipient of these curses!

    Really, need we continue the curses of Red Sox nation? Haven’t we suffered long enough? (heeeeeee. never!)

    Fine, bring it on!

    Go figure. My comment had to go up twice. [sigh] Dave, could you please delete one of those?

     
  24. ReV.JeLLyBaBy, 29, October 2004, 10:55 |  

    Simoon are you Irish too?

    Or did you just do that “to be sure, to be sure?”

    :lol:

     
  25. simoon, 29, October 2004, 11:26 |  

    I’m only part Irish. I’m only part Irish.

    ’tis true. ’tis true.

    Baseball is so last season. Let’s move on to football.

     
  27. simoon, 29, October 2004, 11:48 |  

    Oh sure, Nikki. Take away our moment, already. I mean, come on! Can’t we at least bask in the glory for a **little while**???

     
  28. Mandy, 29, October 2004, 12:04 |  

    Their tea will now taste like Boston Harbor. :sad:

     
  29. Cheap Date, 29, October 2004, 13:32 |  

    Rather the Harbor than Monkey Fizz!

    Curse of da Cah Wah-sh: it rains the day after you washed your car.

     
  31. Nikki, 29, October 2004, 15:35 |  

    What’s that curse called when you’re halfway through mowing the lawn and a sudden downpour starts?

    the new england patriots will once again suck

    since i’m a resident of boston, and call myself a bostonian since i’ve lived here for 12 years, i have to say that bostonians will ALWAYS be bitter and resentful. it’s in their nature. pathetic, no. but all the rest yes. 90% of the boston male population hasn’t been laid since ‘86. i think that’s why they are so full of hatred. :limp: love,
    a native new yorker who LOVES THE SOX, BABY!

    what about…
    the curse of the dirty undies?
    yeah, all the players’ underwear are stained by myserious brownish black smears… :-?
