OT - The Most Cleveland Thing
I'm sure this is common knowledge, but I came across this today and it pretty much sums up my view of anything Ohio. Enjoy
That would have been the Cuyahoga ablaze. Or a Lebron James jersey ablaze.
The point is, something needs to be burning.
I thought turkeys could fly
Man I loved Arthur Carlson....
So in my initial post, I misremembered WKRP being in Cleveland and referenced the WKRP turkey drop episode. So I went back to fix it (i.e., come up with a Cleveland-specific response), but in the ether you replied to my erroneous post.
Consequently, your reply locked in for weirdness.
a little weirdness is needed every now and then.
WD is here all the time though. It gets excessive.
The only thing weirder than an obsessive fan, is the obsessive fans obsessive fan..
Don't get me wrong, your Dudeness, I'm not trying to single you out or anything, but I'm not the only one who sees the irony here, am I? I think WDs zeal is a little weird, but if people are so tired of him constantly being on the board, then how does constantly bringing him up make that better? I think he should probably tone it down a bit, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if people posted about him more than he actually posts half the time.. just a thought.
"The Pinedale Shopping Center has been bombed with live turkeys. Film at 11"
Sanders's comic timing was fantastic on that show! I had forgotten how good he was, since I was debating the relative attractiveness of Loni Anderson vs. Jan Smithers when the show ran.
#TeamSmithers
Bailey no contest. Kitten killer of the first order.
was definitely nice to look at, but always thought Jan Smithers was hotter. That was a great show back in the day.
....so you probably went for Mary Ann over Ginger, amirite?
Did you know Cleveland was the only city ever to set their basketball jerseys and rivers on fire?
And here I always thought I was "the most Cleveland thing".
looks really old - like 1980 hair styles. So, you have that in common.

If anyone can imbed this video better than I, please do so. It's worth remembering...
Is amazing!
This is the most Cleveland thing ever. And the flats still look like a scooby doo ghost town.
When is the last time you were in the Flats???
It is an outfit for men which has polyester leisure suit plus white patent leather belt and shoes.
Harbaugh could pull that off.
I think he has enough ideas for now.
It's not khaki
Harbaugh would tuck in the jacket, show off the white belt.
Is that the new johnny bravo?
1.5 million baloons... Do they have a count of how may birds and fish they killed when they all landed in Lake Erie?
All of the birds and fish had already been killed many times over prior to the balloon launch.
I used to think ballons were cool...
when i was 5
I always laugh at the try hards of this blog. You are the Mick Foley of Mgoblog sir. Hey guys i dug up a dirt old video from a city in Ohio which has substantially blown right past any large city in Michigan.
I love Michigan...I love the Tigers and Red Wings, but nothing is sadder than people hating a whole state simply because a college they hate takes up a fraction of land in that state.
Cleveland is years ahead of Detroit and Columbus is even more years ahead. This truely amounts to the guy with the house he is trying to keep from falling apart ripping on the dude next door who just rehabed his house.
I hate the Buckeyes, but that isn't stopping me from hitting up a Clippers game or drinking beer made in Columbus. Grow Up
I hate OSU and the state it resides in. Especially since all over the state it has anti-University of Michigan propaganda and advertising. You don't see that in Michigan.
A State Farm billboard outside of Sandusky pisses me off. "We've got you covered even if you hit a Wolverine."
Take a hike Ohio!
Eh I feel for you because I get tons of UM love. The UM foot print is quite large in NE Ohio. It actually annoys my OSU friends when we are out and I am wearing my UM hat and I get a handful of Go Blue's.
I lived in Columbus for two years. Driving around OSU made me cringe, but the city itself is a great place to live and there's a lot to do there. Short North, Arena District, Upper Arlington, Grandview, German Village, and Easton are all really great areas. Some of my favorite restaurants are in Columbus. A lot of great companies have their headquarters there too.
Honestly, unless you're right around the university, you could drive through Columbus and you'd hardly ever know the university was even there. Not too many better college towns than Ann Arbor, but Columbus is a great city all its own.
Columbus is so much more than the college, whereas Ann Arbor would not exist in anywhere near the same form without the college.
Other than so many OSU fans milling about the city, it's a great place. Georgraphically, not much other than a cow pasture, but lots, lots of stuff going on, both financially and socially.
I'll take Ann Arbor if I have to choose between the two, but Columbus is a bigger city with more to offer.
Holy shit
Says the guy who down votes every post of another board member, regardless of the content of the post.
I don't down vote every post of anyone. WD is basically this post in a box. posting to get pats on the back. Sorry if i am not going to sit back and stroke a dudes ego because everyone else is so scared of his fragile self.
WD is like my kid....you can lie to them and stroke their ego, or you can hit them with small doases of reality so when they enter the real world they can handle it. WD is a poster boy for millenials. They were feed sunshine and roses and when hit in the mouth with reality they cower in a shell and then run home to mommy and daddy to get more reasurance that they are special.
*Nodding*
Your logic is that if you aren't going to pat someone on the back, the only other option is to be an asshole... for that person's own good of course. If WD is like your kid, is your parenting approach then to belittle him/her if you don't agree with his/her behavior?
For the record, my opinion of WD is fairly ambivalent. I see the point you are desperately trying to defend. With that said, the incessant bitching by a core group of individuals of every post, regardless of how innocuous it may be, is tired and needs to stop. It is cancerous to this board.
Nobody belittled WD. They are simply letting him know he is being an attention seeking asshole. I guess when your kid kicks and screams in the store or restaurant you just ignore it and hope it will pass. Well when my kid does that i remove them from the building until he/she can act appropriate.
Sorry i think those who call WD out are trying to help him in life. Lets be real he shuts down 2 days out to prepare for a game that should in all reality have zero impact on his life.
You meanwhile sit there and feed the beast. I am not saying for WD to stop posting or creating threads...I am just saying how about not 4-5 a day.
It is comical that you spend your time calling out everyone who mentions WD in not a glorious light....seems there is an old saying for what you do.
1. You apparently don't understand the meaning of belittle as you did it this last post.
2. Your argument for not liking the guy is because he makes a lot of board topics and he is excessively passionate about Michigan. Weak sauce. You should focus on your own psychological issues.
3. I'm not pro WD. I'm against grown men acting like little bitches on this blog.
Sounds good. Sorry I offended you Mr WD
Actually, no I wouldn't. Cleveland has 55-60% of the population of Detroit and 55%-60% the size of Detroit. And just like Detroit, it's been plagued by population loss and job losses to the South.
They are in the same boat no matter how you look at it.
I am not speaking of population. I am speaking of when I went to Comerica Park and driving to the highway I felt like I suddenly made a wrong turn onto Fury Road.
Cleveland has some rough spots out east, but the downtown proper is exploding with amazing Bars/Restaurants and places you want to just hang out.
This sounds like a hot take from 5-10+ years ago. Going to CoPa back when it opened didn't give me the warm and fuzzies, but that was 15 years ago. Totally different scene down there now.
I was just there and it is still a shit show.
All sports aside, Columbus is a milquetoast strip mall town nobody out of the Midwest considers visiting by choice. Sure they have local beer and restaurants but so do airports. I did have fun at a Clippers game once so I guess keep doing that if you live there.
I enjoy Cleveland though (in the summer).
Michigan fans should not hate Cleveland, too many great players from that city over the years. Dez, Elvis, and countless others.
Don't forget some guy named Schembechler was born and raised In Barberton,Ohio. A small town about 40 miles south of Cleveland.
And our last two Heisman winners in football were from Ohio
And our recent Naismith award winner in basketball was from Ohio
But other than those guys.......
Exactly....So much of the great history of UM has roots in Ohio.
mGrowOld as a fellow NE Ohio who appears to be slightly older than me, I am guessing the growth of Cleveland is even more impressive to your eyes.
