From - The Die-Hard CUBS Fan - folder

 *****
 Question: Who invented "How low can you go" party game?
Answer: Chicago Cubs
 *****
CUBS Update: Good News for a change!
Cubs are not the only team with the worst record in the majors -- that honor also belongs to the Padres... Wait, that is still crappy news!!!... Oh well!...
 *****
Daughter: " You just scowled, why did you do that."
Dad: "Oh, its nothing. I was just thinking about the CUBS!..."
 *****
Similar to naming asteroids & hemorrhoids incorrectly -- wouldnt it be a good idea at this point to rename CUBS & 'SUCKS'... ...I mean CUBS & SOX?!
  *****
CUBS Update:
This is probably one of the few times, where no-news is crappy news -- because the CUBS still suck!!!
  *****
CUBS have their own language -- for example: "Losing means winning, and winning means a miracle!"
  *****
The best thing about being a CUBS fan -- your expectations are at the bottom -- the only way to go is up!
  *****
With about two weeks to go until the 1st game I propose new names for the Chicago CUBS: Chicago HOPE before season starts, Chicago CHANCE before the All-star game, and Chicago WTF towards the end of the season!
  *****
Being a cubs fan is like playing the lottery. The chances of you winning are slim to none yet you still go and by a ticket!
 *****
 Has anyone ever moved to a different state because of the CUBS?!
  *****
The original quote goes something like this: "The more things change, the more Cubs stay the same!"
  *****
 And so, it starts again... spitting, scratching, cursing, screaming, praying -- CUBS season...
  *****
If you're wondering why I am making fun of the Cubs lately - its therapy - I'm getting my frustrations out before the season starts...
  *****
Its a fact that both Jews and Cub fans have been 'suffering' for a very long time... 
 *****
The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, discovered, was raised from the ocean floor, the latest giving Cubs fans hope that something that finishes on the bottom can come out on top.

From - The Pet Peeve - Folder: Part I

A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it...

Pet peeve #371
At a concert -- do not applaud in the middle of a song - its rude. It's also disruptive to the singer(s) and to all the others.


Pet peeve #197
Individuals who decide to stand and socialize in 'big traffic' areas. Like by exit doors...
Pet peeve #42
You are standing in line usually at a store, and the person behind you decides that you need to know about their life, by having a loud conversation with their friend on the cell phone...



Pet peeve #158
While at a ballet -- do not applaud in the middle of a number - its rude. It's also disruptive to the dancer(s) and to all the others. There is a reason why the performers raise their hands at the end of their number!
