But they kill Cowboy fans on sight in Phily, so no.

Wouldn't a Love Train be more appropriate for Philadelphia?

Nah, not really. My manager is a Cowboys fan, and he just doesnt cheer too loud or wear Fan gear, I would break his stones more, but I'm a Chiefs fan but will cheer on the Birds when they play since they are local and Chiefs games dont usually make it on when I am able to watch.
You'll be safe, just dont go down to South Philadelphia and you are fine.

With the temperature being 37 and the wind chill being 20, one would have to figure that much drinking of alcohol will be involved. Otherwise how would they dance all bundled up?

It was amusing when I lived there. I believe we won both games and I got to taunt them about their complete lack of SB wins.
/and the "rush". That stupidly silly play where the QB "hands" the ball to a "running back", who proceeds to actually run forward at the line to scrimmage with the goal of getting to the line to gain.

At approximately 4:30 pm, the hipsters will overrun the downtown toilets, due to caffeine stimulation...........

No worries, I felt kinda bad being an a$$ about his suicide, as I never understood how one could take that route, and it is easy to judge I suppose from the outside since one can never truly understand the inner torment someone must be experiencing to finally decide that taking their own life is the easiest or only way out. He really did do a lot for the black community and it was painful for me to post that, but this is fark right, mob rules?
