Nice contributions Schultz & Pepper!
By the way, I strongly recommend purchasing The Onion’s Atlas, “Our Dumb World”. One of the funniest things I’ve read in a long, long time.

Indeed, that is still a classic Onion piece. In the near futre, we shall see more individuals wearing items of clothing bearing the Capitals insignia when we are on vacation, as well.
Off topic, reminded me of my favorite all-time Onion headline, which was written at around the same time:

nice. But if you're going to quote the Onion in reference to Sydney Crosby, I prefer this one "Sidney Crosby's One-Goal, Two-Assist Performance Saves Hockey". Link: http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/sidney_crosbys_one_goal_two For all of us who get sick of the man-love given to Crosby by the Canadian-dominated hockey press, the tone is perfect. It includes the great closing line: "Bettman also acknowledged single-goal, two-assist performances from 13 other NHL players including Chris Chelios, Dany Heatley, and Todd White, but emphasized that, unlike Crosby, they had not saved the NHL."

As Seinfeld once said, “If a player is wearing the jersey of a team you like, you cheer him. If he goes to the opposing team, you boo him. You’re not rooting for the players, you’re cheering for laundry!”
