This week we're lifting curses, rooting for underdogs and celebrating Bill Murray's World Series victory.
Championship Celebration Etiquette
Recommended Pairing:Random bits of confetti and looted malt liquor.
I was genuinely surprised to wake up the morning after the Cubs won the pennant to find no news of an entire city again ablaze. In fact, it's been a while since we had one of those bizarre "I'm so happy my city won the championship I'm going to destroy it" celebrations.
The last real smash 'em up job I can remember wasn't a celebration or even in America. It was a bunch of Canadians freaking out after losing the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins.
The Cubs fans did it right. They drank and danced and did trust falls and all sorts of other fantastic displays of pure shared bliss.
Here's to hoping the Dodgers, Lakers, or Rams can win a chip sometime soon — I'm really pumped to try one of those trust falls.
'Til next week.
