Below is the label on a can of John Smith's Extra Smooth. It either mean's "Don't drink while you're pregnant" or "Avoid chubby girls while drinking."
Again below, there is an image of H. Stockton and me. Please note that while H. Stockton considers boosterism for hoi polloi, he makes an exception for the Steelers.
No black baby clothes are available over here, and there is no NFL apparel, so Nicole made that shirt. From scratch. She cut up an old T-shirt of mine and sewed it into a shirt for Henry, then cross-stitched a handmade Steelers logo for the chest. He is also wearing gold pants and has a gold pacifier laynard.
Quick story for you. Every once in a while you are able to say something funny at the perfect moment, and that happened for me this weekend. I was playing cards, and one girl at the table mentioned that her boyfriend had opined during the AFC and NFC championships that, "Even if the Steelers lose, Pennsylvanians can root for the Eagles, as they are a PA team," inferring a certain lability of support by Pittsburghers. I immediately though of some folks I know back home, specifically my father-in-law, and pointed out that "The average Steeler's fan wouldn't root for the Eagles if it would save a kid with cancer from getting molested."
