Yet when I want to wear my Star Trek uniform to a movie premier I'm a just a crazy loser....

/so glad to be out of Saskatchewan!
//husband and in-laws are huge rider fans

You'd think with a name like Roughriders the fans would all be wearing assless chaps.

Great, now this place will fill up quickly.

/Why is Canada's football cup named after a Broadway musical actor?

So they wear real melons on their heads?

That's awesome!

Shows what you know... Lord Earl Grey's other legacy to the world (other than being the namesake for Captain Picards favorite tea) was to donate the tropy now awarded to the CFL champion.



In my opinion also cooler looking than the Lombardi trophy, plus there is only one.

Also watermelons make great bikini tops!

Uh oh, thread will devolve into a semantic discussion of "assless chaps".

Soumac: So they wear real melons on their heads?

Oh look! Toothpicks

Not nice. Just look a couple of pics down. Green girl, yum.

/Go Pack

This is super weird. I live in Manitoba, next to Saskatchewan, and I've never heard of anyone wearing a watermelon on their head. :|

*sigh* I guess "Go Riders"

*barf*

You know what's really crazy? If you go into a Rider store here in Saskatchewan you'll find fake (foam rubber) watermelon helmets priced at $40.00 and up.

That almost makes the real watermelon wearers seem sane.

/Almost.

Mmethinks subby mmeant: "foamm immitations"

The story of the Watermelon Helmet: Link (new window)

What they might look like:

Good farking god I hate the Riders and their gapper fans. I went to the Labour Day Classic at Mosaic 5 years straight but stopped because the entire city of Regina turns into a mob of raging inbred farktards. Which is different than any other day in bloody Vagina where they usually tone down the raging part.

Riders fans are the only fans moranic enough to show up to other sports in other cities to cheer on their team. I sat beside 5 of the gap toothed farkwads at an Edmonton - Toronto NHL game. They kept screaming "Go Riders" as the rest of the crowd looked on with a mixture of contempt, pity, and borderline rage.

I have gotten into 2 fights that I didn't start at Mosaic when I went there. One time some asshole jumped me and another time I stopped a grown man from shoving a teenaged girl up against a bus for wearing something other than green. Next time (if there is a next time, which I doubt) I am going armed with brass knuckles at the least. The security there isn't going to do anything about their fans, they are all freaking senior citizens riding around on golf carts.

In closing, let me reiterate. Do the rest of the world a favour and find something resembling a cliff in that retarded province and jump. Be sure to wear your farking snot smeared jerseys and green tardhelmets.

Chaps are, by default, assless. If chaps had asses, they'd be pants!

/getting that out of the way.

aniktwo: This is super weird. I live in Manitoba, next to Saskatchewan, and I've never heard of anyone wearing a watermelon on their head. :|

Wow, obviously not a CFL fan then? Also living in Manitoba, but I've heard about the melonheads for yearssssss.

I want to make something with blue fruit for the bombers...a crown of blueberries? I've got nothin.

Should be a good game Sunday.

Someone is a wee bit bitter that Henry played throw to the free saftey last Sunday isn't he?

Well after seeing a fewkpottruff: Also watermelons make great bikini tops!

Whelp, looks like I'm a Roughriders fan.

Farktastic: Riders fans are the only fans moranic enough to show up to other sports in other cities to cheer on their team.

That is not even remotely true.

So it's like Florida with snow?

Saskatchewan absolutely without a doubt has the best fans in the country.

Probably because CFL is the only game in town, but I'd love to see what they could do with an NHL franchise.

Good on ya, Saskatchewan.

drkdstryer: Farktastic: Riders fans are the only fans moranic enough to show up to other sports in other cities to cheer on their team.

What he means is that Riders fans will show up to a hockey game between Toronto and Edmonton and scream about their team. Nobody else does that. I've never seen anyone cheering for the Eskimos at a Raptor's game.

They said there was no such thing as an angry Canadian unless that Canadian belonged to a tribe. Are you an indigenous savage of the great white North?

Came for the melon bikini girl....

mikaloyd: Farktastic:
blah blah rant blah

Nah, he's just in Calgary. It's enough to make anyone to make anyone want to jump off a cliff.

/Poor muffin Farktastic.

What the hell is an "immitation"?

Flames vs Rangers on a recent Saturday night. The Stamps and Riders happened to be playing for first place that day too. A bunch of drunken inbreds show up at the Saddledome in green. Whatever, not much worse than a game vs. the Canucks. As this was the last home game before Remembrance Day, they were honouring our fallen soldiers, and asked for a moment of silence. Shortly after it began, the out of town scoreboard happened to scroll to that game, showing the Riders had won. This group of Rider fans let out a huge cheer - in the middle of a farking moment of silence for our farking war dead.

And this is one of the better examples of Rider fan behaviour. Worst fans in all of North American sports, by far. The team itself may deserve to be at the Grey Cup, but the fans certainly don't.

At least they are paying ridiculous sums of money to watch their team get destroyed by Montreal.

Just how sour are the grapes?

/ I could tell stories about Stamp "fans" too, but what's the point? I don't stereotype. All teams have asshole fans.
// Thanks for the use of the stadium (and your mom). Both will be returned when we are done with them.

I couldn't even name all of the CFL teams but I can help with one thing in the article. The "why" of the watermelon involves staggering amounts of alcohol,

In before the racists get back from Black Friday at the swap meet.

kpottruff: In my opinion also cooler looking than the Lombardi trophy, plus there is only one.

Wow, the CFL is really broke, eh?

/I keed, I keed...

Soumac: So they wear real melons on their heads?

Yup, and it's a slightly more sensible use of watermelons than what Gallagher does with them.

kpottruff: Also watermelons make great bikini tops!

No picture has ever needed Xzibit more.

typically I don't mind the Riders fans. they are from Saskatchewan, they don't know any better. They know how to party, at least.

kpottruff: Lord Earl Grey's other legacy to the world (other than being the namesake for Captain Picards favorite tea)

I hate Earl Grey Tea, and have always thought less of Picard for drinking it.

When I was little, my Grandmother gave out bergamot flavored candy for Halloween, and once the word got out, everyone avoided our house, leaving me to eat the stuff. Which I did. Now I can't even get near the stuff without wanting to hurl -- and I don't mean in the sporting sense.

/And don't mess with Joel Grey. He played Chiun, who could turn every football player in Canada into a pretzel.

FINALLY a use for all of those watermelons!!!

GO RIDERS GO!

/Put the grey cup in my Regina!

Everyone in the US already knew that "Canadians" like watermelons.
