Ursa Majoris Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 http://www.suntimes.com/sports/hockey/blac...-061110.article so there was roughly 2mil people at the blackhawks rally today. Total BS. Not even close. I don't care what the city says, there's no way that's two million. Utter crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneymakers Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 And in those days from the town of where the man of hope and change once smoked his peace pipe. 2 million people will get the day off of labor to go and celebrate and pay glory to the round little black thingy that slides across the ice. from the book of money no more.

tbimm Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The Hawks winning completes it for me. I have seen the Bears win the Superbowl as well as my adopted team the Saints. The Bulls 6 time champs. The White Sox and the Cardinals several times. Now the Hawks and I have seen em all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hugh Chicago sports fan, but have never been into hockey, so whatev. But hey, awesome. The hockey jersey/helmet on the Jordan statue outside the arena was solid. As for crowds, in my old age I am borderline panic-attacky. Used to love being amongst a crowd, now I'd rather be in a semi-filled joint where I don't have to beat ass to get a cocktail or get to the can.

I had panic attacks in Vagas, with their crowds being a contributing factor. Part of a reason I will unlike go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) The Hawks winning completes it for me. I have seen the Bears win the Superbowl as well as my adopted team the Saints. The Bulls 6 time champs. The White Sox and the Cardinals several times. Now the Hawks and I have seen em all! Have seen all my pro teams as well as my college team win more than once. And except for the Celtics, none are known for winning it a lot. Pass on the crowds also. But props to the Blackhawks, nice to see teams who've been around a long time but haven't won it ever or in a long time notch a title vs the stinkin Yanks/etc of sports.

rajncajn Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I hate crowds but I love gatherings +1 I don't know what kind of phobia it is, but I don't mind festive crowds or gatherings, just being crowded by lots of people. It makes me feel very constricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Runt Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just the opposite. Love big crowds. The more crowded the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It is because I don't like crowds that I avoided the Million Man March (and all Tea Party events). The sarcasm was dry, with overtones of chocolate and tea. However, the finish was over the top. Rating: 79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you and your wife go to stuff like that does she attach one of those tall bicycle flagpole whips to your belt so she can find you?.
