And excellent points about the catfish. Although it perhaps would have been deserved…

Good point. I meant eastern Ohio. I always think of it as west from me…

At least the guy had the sense to strap a dead catfish to his crotch. A live one – or perhaps a snapping turtle – could have longer lasting implications.

Also, isn’t his family from eastern Ohio….being that’s the part nearest the ‘burgh? The hillbilly part?

Surprised they didn’t also arrest the catfish. I mean, if you can indict a ham sandwich, think what you could do with a catfish that’s already on ice!

Homer will be here all week, folks. Try the veal. And don’t forget to tip your waiter.

I prefer the old, and still current Winnipeg Jets thing which is to wear white (like in a blizzard which we may sometimes have the privilege to enjoy) and cheer a lot. The wearing white thing was partly because of the blizzard thing but also because the old Winnipeg Arena was a dimly lit barn of a building. When everyone wore white it would brighten the entire rink. One goalie from a visiting team said made a positive difference when it came to spotting pucks.

As for the tossing of dead animals on the ice? I got nothing though one game, when there had been a very poorly thought out give away, thousands of promotional containers of peanut butter were tossed on the ice but that was more a matter of displeasure than of team pride.
