They beat our Steelers, too, so don't worry - Bengals don't got no friends in Pittsburgh, neither. >(

The thing is, we're actually Bengals fans--but you'd never know it by the way we talk about them. ;) Dad's even worse about the Reds during basebal season, but he still snags tickets sometimes when I'm home.

And yeah, I know the Bengals aren't too popular in Pittsburgh. Or in Cleveland--I was watching last week's game at a sports bar in Kent, and I don't think I made any friends. :D

(Okay, I think the drunk dude my father's age wanted to be friends, but that doesn't count.)

You'd think I absolutely loathe the Bengals with the way I rip them new ones if and when they lose. Or can safely tell you that there's a few of the players who are complete DICKS.

What most don't know is that they were my first major client and that I help do fundraisers for Coach Lewis.

But horray for new car! Since my car's name is the Blue Dorito, and your dad is fond of saying "like a bat outta' hell," I believe we should call your car Eddy (points if you get the reference).

Oh god, a LOT of our players are complete assholes. But at least they're not Michael Vick. Also, I did not know that they were a client of yours! Awesome!

Rocky Horror reference FTW! I was thinking of just calling the car Meatloaf. But then I'd have to make sure I could see paradise by the dashboard light...

Agreed, just remember that objects in the rear-view mirror are closer than they appear.

And the car ends up being a lemon, get your money back.

You should seriously call the car "Meatloaf". And make sure you seize the night and hang dice on your mirror.

(I should stop.)

Hang dice in the mirror? I'd do anything for my car...but I won't do that. ;)

Yay! Congratulations on the car. "METRCBX" and "ALTRUSM" would both work, but I agree +$40 is too much for a darn registration plate.

Speaking of the Bengals, where the hell did they come from this year?!?!? Holy crap! See, as a Cleveland fan, I have 3 favorite teams: Cleveland, whatever team is beating Pittsburgh, and whatever team is beating Baltimore (even if it's Pittsburgh). So right now, it looks like the 'Gals are #2 on my list. :D

We're not using our over-payed douchebags, but the guys who are playing for the love of the damned game, for once.

Well hell, if that's all it takes... *Sets out to write Coach Romeo a letter.*

LOL, yeah I was playing around with dropping vowels and stuff, but it is expensive. ;) Plus, I guess it takes several days for those to get processed, and I need plates, um, first thing tomorrow.

I still don't know where the Bengals have come from. But I do know that your fellow Northern Ohioans do not like me very much. Maybe I should have been a little quieter at the sports bar last weekend... :)

Silver-blue starships, huh? *scratches head* Will have to get back to you on that one, although I am tempted to suggest "Rock Dragon". More creative than the "Falcon" most fans go for.

CONGRATS and have fun with it. I still can't even drive so I'm kinda jealous... :P

Oooh, Tenel Ka's ship! <3 That's a good idea. Although am I only allowed to drive with one hand, then? :D

Nah. You can still drive with two as Tenel Ka did ask Jaina and Lowie to pilot it for her all too often. ;)

You can't bitch about the Bengals when they're winning! I'm sooo glad they won yesterday, that means it'll be even more fun when I go to the game on Sunday. Tailgating at 8am, here I come

I was always hoping to get a red and gray car and have tags that said ROGUE1 on them. Actually, I first wanted a red and gray car that said ROGUE9, but that wouldnt make much sense since Corran's X-Wing is green... but yeah, they're expensive. Congrats though!

My family is like Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets--we bitch and moan about EVERYTHING, and the more we love it, the more we whine. ;) My dad's got a ticket to next week's game, too. I am kind of scared to imagine him tailgating.

Yeah, a red car would give you all kinds of options. I could do something with BLUE #s, but nobody knows the Blue Squadron. Although (I checked Wookieepedia), Blue Two was a female pilot from the Rebel Assault games... And apparently Obi-Wan was Blue Leader in the Clone Wars...
