quote:

The city is on the banks of the Mississippi River, built on a land mass of accumulated waste that drifted downriver from the Chicago stockyards in the late 1800s. Founded by a French conman named Gerard Flatuleau, the city was first named “Horribles Ville des Ordures,” which translates to Horrible Garbage City.

quote:

With the help of German immigrant Adolphus Busch, St. Louis soon became famous for ruining beer and the city started offering free tours of the Anheuser-Busch brewery to veterans whose taste buds had been shot off during World War I.

quote:

Central to all life in St. Louis — along with scabies — is the city’s beloved baseball team. The Cardinals started out as a prison team called the Insidious Trouser Farts.

quote:

The Cardinals were born and have remained a source of great pride for the people of St. Louis, winning 11 World Series championships and distracting fans from the fact that they descended from criminals and still live atop a pile of fetid hog waste

The Cubs suck, and will always suck.

I hope there is a Bartman curse, and you losers can lose beneath that mountain of karma for another 100+ years.

"Chicago" comes from a Miami tribe word meaning "place of the skunk".

Right, because everyone always joins a website the day they find it.

I've been watching you make a fool of yourself since Oct 2011.

Yea...minus the prospect thread, the game threads...and the occasional specific topic thread.

Sorry it wasn't enough to satisfy you.
