A little fun Finish the line You know you're a BCB regular when

PrintFinish the line you know you're a BCB regular when
Here's mine
You have a card in your wallet that says "In case of emergency call Al Yellon"
You've legally changed your name to your screenname.
You watch ABC news in the morning just to see Al's name in the credits.
And you know you're a Cubs fan when
You have triplets and name them Alfonso, Jim and Kosuke and they're GIRLS! And you change Jim's name to Reed on days Johnson plays.
You're in an ambulance and on death's door and insist they change the radio to WGN instead of calling in your vitals to the hospital.
You have a hat that says WWJD but the J stands for Jim as in Hendry,
You've replaced all religious figurines etc with pictures of Lou.
You sing go Cubs Go all day every day.

I think...
…BCB’s offseason project should be to find Milton. Seriously.
I mean, we all know a number of Cubs fans, right? If we start circulating this picture, doesn’t the Kevin Bacon/six-degrees-of-separation thing kick in, meaning we could legitimately determine who Milton is, so Al could get an “exclusive”? Or we all could chip in to have Milton fly into Chicago and make an appearance in the Bleachers? Or at Cubs convention?
Am I the only one who really wants to find out who Milton is?
The Legend of Milton grows every Victory
who wants reality to ruin it? Seriously, he’s probably a working stiff like 99% of us.
Did the Israelites want to know who Moses really was when he led them to the promised land? HELL NO! Just a man, certainly, but a symbol for the end of generations of frustration and anger and being lost in a desert …. oh, sorry, started rolling there.

"Destiny is a matter of choice, not chance"
You know when you're a regular
when your day centers around checking BCB until Al has the post game wrap up so you can see what he had to say about the game AND get into the discussion before it’s hijacked. A terrible sickness called bleedcubbieblueitis or the b-c-b’s. And of course, you wear your BCB Believe t-shirt every week, alternating with the “W” shirt after big wins. Yes, we are all afflicted with the b-c-b’s.
This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).
you know your a BCB regular
-when you yell out “FIRST” when you win a race
-you frequently yell out “Howry Cow” when Howry gives up a HR
-you know the name of every trolls and what they typically write about

Your boss/wife/parents/siblings see you on the computer and say “Get off BCB and get to work/etc” without having to see you were actually on it. They just know.

Alright, I'll bite.
You know you’re a BCB regular when, after each game, you try to predict Al’s headline in that game’s recap. I do this all the time, though I’m rarely correct. I think my guess after last night’s game was “Pounding Pittsburgh.”
Another thing I do is, every time Alfonso Soriano hustles and does something great – y’know, like last night in the third inning when he singled then stole second then stole third (whew, that was close!) then scored on DLee’s single – I think of MDBNIU and how wrong he is and laugh my ass off.
Yes, sir!
I was at a formal dinner for my parents wedding anniversary
the night Rich Harden got traded, and the first thing I thought of was blue mike when I heard that. Staying at the parents I didnt have an opportunity to get on bcb and was wondering what was going on.
That is when I realized I really did spend a lil too much time here.

Yeah, I think his username...
…flashed through my head almost immediately after I learned of the Harden trade, too. The way I heard about Harden coming to the Cubs was memorable: I was getting off my evening train Metra train and some random guy came up to me and asked, “Are you a Cubs fan?” For a moment, I thought he was psychic – until I realized I was wearing my Cubs hat. When I said, “Yeah,” he excitedly gave me the news. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment.
Yes, sir!
Sorry about the Blue Mike thing, that's tragic.

Cubs fans love it because the guy is wearing a Cardinals shirt…and anti-war people love it because he and his family are protesting anti-war protesters right before the Iraq war started in 2003 – hence the “Go USA” sign he’s holding up.
