Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

Why not Desolation Boulevard with I wanna be Committed? https://youtu.be/tsyuKIZZEQk
I'm old enough to have remembered actually liking that album a lot more than I should have.. lol It was Ballroom Blitz that got me to purchase the album.. So much for our 15 year old purchasing habits, eh?
I still pull it up to listen to once in awhile to remind the Mrs that I'm not completely fossilized yet.

Touche.
But if asked for a theme song for our beloved Reds, This Corrosion would surely be their song.
Gimme something that I missed, gimme the ring.
Of all the bands I once listened to, I think Sisters of Mercy is the one most forgotten (to me) but I'll have to give them a listen again.

I've suffered from pretty severe depression for about two decades now, and when I'm at my lowest of lows, I suppose I can think back to this thread and know that things could be worse. Watching my favorite team win in dramatic fashion makes me want to celebrate every bit as much as the team did Wednesday night.
If you can't find joy in that and instead are irritated by it, I pity you.
(Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

I'm aware. It obviously wasnt intended literally. If it doesnt apply to you, dont take umbrage. To the miserable s.o.b.s who want to complain about celebrating a win, thats a different story.
I'll say, I can get on board with the miserable s.o.b.s when applying this logic to a football game, when you're down 2 TDs in the 4th quarter, 3 min to go, and a guy breaks through the line and makes a sack, or just makes a good tackle, then explodes up off the ground and does his best Ray Lewis celebratory impression. In THAT instance, I believe these sentiments are apt. Where was that give a damn and hustle the first 3 quarters?
But when its mid-May, we are flirting with .500 and get an extra inning walk off against the hated Cubs...that is absolutely the time to get hyped and celebrate.
Will these same people be complaining if we do this and take 2 of 3 from LA this weekend? I hope not lol
I知 a card-carrying member of the RZ grumpy old men club and I知 fine with it. It gets a little goofy at times (I知 like, y誕ll are grown men, really?), but the world needs all the joy it can get. So coolers of Gatorade dumped and mobbing a player on the field and all that are fine. Not sure how you celebrate a really important win, but we値l cross that bridge when we get there.
I知 still a handshake guy so it took me a while to get used to manly hugs of greeting from the younger male generation. But I can adapt. It痴 not my world any more. I知 just a visitor now.

i for one have always played by the motto "act like you've been there before"... but thats me.
The television crews left and about 10 reporters remained in the room. That's when Price took his turn doing the talking.
What followed was a five-minute, 34-second expletive-filled tirade. The final tally was 77 uses of the "F" word or a variant and 11 uses of a vulgar term for feces (two bovine, one equine).
Remember back in the day when no one celebrated?
