Eric The Green Wrote:What suckers we are. We built a new stadium for Colin (49ers quarterback) and the boys in Santa Clara, financed by the jeans we wear. The jeans aren't even made in San Francisco anymore, and we used to have a small factory in San Jose too, and the company was founded in SF. All gone now. The glories of free trade. And the new stadium isn't even in San Francisco, even though they are still called the San Francisco 49ers. So yeah, just what city do they belong to?
True enough on all of the above. I mean, really? I can think of a lot of better uses for public money than for this nonsense.
Oh, and look, there's lots of prior examples of stupored stadium buying stunts to go by, which for some reason never deter new suckers.

I never see them [fötbah games.] When you get right down to it, theres lots of time wasted on time outs which get filled in with lame commercials which are usually about cheap beer, assorted vehicles, and assorted man cave junk.
Quote:But you could have posted Hendrix's "Banner" when we were doing 1969 on the best songs ever thread. But ya diddint.
I know. That cover by Jimi is pretty much the only one that pops into my head when "Star Spangled Banner" is mentioned. There was no memory cue until this thread.
Oh, and P.S
Eric, there's a cryptic tidbit for you from me, that if found may make you a very happy man.
