May the horse be with you.
So today was the day of the 'showdown' between the Indianapolis Colts and those asshat Cleveland Browns, and naturally, I was there; not just to cheer the Colts, but to boo the damn Browns.
Why? Because they call themselves the Browns, yet, their helmets were orange and their jerseys were white... no Brown... what the fuck, seriously? Why call yourselves the Browns if you aren't going to wear the damn color?
Nevertheless, aside from the fact that they're my hometown team, I'm proud to be a Colts fan. Not just because of the star power of a lot of their players, because they've been in the playoffs five of the last six years, or because they're a unanimous Super Bowl pick this year, but because Colts fans are, hands down, the most badassed fans in the entire NFL. End of story.
Forget the Browns, Bears, Raiders and everyone else... Colts fans own. You can't see a Colts fan at a game without just laughing from either the humor of their shenanigans or just the shock of their complete bad-assetry. Everytime I go to a game or see one on TV, I just see something and lose it.
Last week... it was the TailGator.

For those of you that can't tell, the TailGator is a blender. Not just any blender however, the TailGator is a gas powered, ten pound, 2 1/4 horsepower blender capable of completely blending a full pitcher of ice in 11 seconds... a discovery that Ryan Lemon and I made while each watching last week's game against Jacksonville at our houses.
Then, for the game this week, I walked into the RCA Dome just in time to see two of my favorite things, the Colts and Star Wars, combine into one entity when I walked up behind an Indianapolis Colts Stormtrooper.
Obviously not the actual guy.
Just starting to laugh a little to myself, the Stormtrooper turned around to reveal that he was holding a sign saying 'May the force horse be with you!' It was then that I was ultimately spun into a dimension of pure, uncontrollable laugher that I haven't felt since that fat Asian Ben Brody spent $24 on Ravioli and ate it in two days down at USI.
So now I'm looking all over the internet to find out where I can order one of those suits, if anything else, just the helmet, because that was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long, long time.
Also, I found a kickass spot by Victory Field where people can tailgate now since most of the other parking lots have been wiped out for the new stadium, so if anyone wants to go up and tailgate and go one of the next homegames, or at least watch them at Hooters, drop me a line. The whole day would have comedy written all over it.
