  Steeler Fever Report

     I dunno. This "Steeler Fever" thing is getting to be a bit much out here

     in Pittsburgh.

     The signs in all the windows, I can take.

     The dumbass songs, including some idiotic rap variants, playing in

     the supermarket . . . well, it's tolerable for a few moments, and keeps

     me from lingering in the bakery section.

     But . . . the pogroms? Is it really necessary to lynch suspected

     Cowboys fans? I dunno.

     And last night . . . sheesh! Bonfires, orgiastic dancing, frenzied fans

     emasculating themselves, the sickening splat of severed genitals hitting

     the black-and-gold pagan altar . . . this is really going overboard.

     P.S. Oh yeah. "Go Steelers." If I don't say that they may Get Me.

         Just imagine if Cleveland had gotten in. There's no one people from

         Western Pennsylvania hate more than Ohioans. Except maybe
         Clevelanders.

         That's just the tip of the iceberg. Some Steelers fans came out here

         to my hometown of Bethlehem, PA and two immolated themselves in the

         Basic Oxygen Furnace at Bethlehem Steel, saying that they wanted to

         "become one with steel". Three others who were fished out of the
         bucket

         before the subsequent burn escaped to the rolling mills, where one
         was

         crushed to death.

         They would have done it in Pittsburgh, except that no steelmaking

         actually goes on out there.

         So did the fans "Metropolis" the city?
