Steelers vs Browns Day parade
Just left the “Iggle” where hundreds of “Stiller” fans were stock piling Chip-Chopped ham and perogies, in anticipation of the day long celebration. As I exited the store, I spotted a lone Bowns fan attempting to walk in front of an on-coming bus.
1That’s appropriate, since the Browns are about to step in front of a bus tonight.
Steelers vs Browns Day is definitely better than Browns vs Steelers Day. It’s good to be a Steelers fan.
BTW, pick me up a pound of that chip-chopped ham, will ya?

If my team lost 10 straight to another team, I wouldn’t talk a lot either.
3You have a good point, my friend. I would probably do the same.
BTW, I checked out your blog. Good Stuff. I have added it to my blogroll.
