Welcome, and don't forget to get started on your mock draft. Could net you $50 in Bears swag and plenty of gloating power around here.

My two older girls knew how to sing the fight song when they were 2 and 3. My youngest... well everything she says sounds like FUCK right now. I think that pretty much sums up what it's like to be a Bears fan recently.

I realize this may not be a popular stand, but I've never been a fan of the NSFW content. There are plenty of other places to find and/or share that stuff. I mean, don't get me wrong... I f*&king love me some porno... but is that who we want to be?

For the record... I haven't yet seen anything I would hide from a 15-year-old, but I fear the NSFW tag gradually lowers the standards. Just my thoughts.

Oh hey, look... here's a new guy. Welcome to BFO Gaytoe.

We basically keep it to that one thread. I pretty much keep everything else on tabs. If you see something pretty testy in an unmarked thread, PM me and I'll take care of it.

gaba · Fri Apr 27, 2012 11:52 am

To get back on track... I've noticed that, while I've been here a lot, I haven't actually participated in the point of this thread, so here goes...

Name: Brian

From: Springfield, MO

Bears fan since 1985... the first football game I remember watching was Superbowl XX.

Favorite Food: anything with lots of veggies in/on it... normal stuff, but packed with veggies... spaghetti with chunks of veggies in the sauce, brats with loads of peppers on top, Veggie Lovers pizza. Anything you can think of would be 10x better with loads of peppers or mushrooms, maybe some brocolli or spinach piled on top.

Favorite Drink: Lemonaid, Cherry Dr. Pepper, Orange Juice. I'm not a non-drinker as a rule, but I don't really do alcohol anymore. I always end up nekkid. Funny when you live in a frat-house. Not so much when your wife and kids are waiting up for you.

Favorite Music: Foo Fighters. Nirvana, with the caveat that Dave is what made it work. Without him they're just another good indy band with great lyrics and music nobody gives a sh*t about. Anything loud and abusive. Sacrilige is a plus... ie, Marilyn Manson kind of kicks ass.

Favorite Bear: Chris Zorich

Misc: I'm so liberal I think socialism is too conservative. I get into fights in atheist groups because other atheists think I'm either too liberal or too intolerant of religious people.

LOL indeed! My wife breathed a huge sigh of relief seeing the ultrasound Twins run in her family and carrying two would have made her head explode. She's not too fond of being pregnant.

Yeah, my little guy has the "Bear down Chicago Bears" part but the rest usually comes out as danna-nana-na-na-na-nanana, mostly because that's all I remember. Was always really impressed with the drunk guys who'd sing the whole thing shirtless in the middle of winter at the games I went to as a kid.

My 10 year old daughter has it down...but that's because I play it and sing it after every TD.

So once we got rid of Grossman, she's heard it a lot more.

I think with DaDoc and BigGrabowski we have some quality new members - stick around, guys!

What's up everybody? I'm sure this isn't the thread to post my intoduction on but I just wanted to introduce myself since my username can be deceiving due to the fact that it has the name Texas in it. I'm a diehard Bears fan (& fan of all the other chicago teams), I'm a born and raised Texan but ive been in love with Illinois, Chicago and Chicago teams since I was a kid, I visit Illinois every once in a while to see my family. Im a college student and in my free time I try to follow news and games as much as I possibly but it can get somewhat difficult since in Texas all I hear about is cowboys, spurs and rangers, anyways im joining Chicago sports forums to keep up to date and meet fellow fans. Bear down!

Sat Jul 07, 2012 1:34 am

Glad to have you. I was thinking of telling you that you'll be wasting your time with other forums as this is the best damn Bears forum on the interweb but I think you'll find that out shortly.

Sat Jul 07, 2012 5:42 am

Welcome aboard Roadrunner! Glad to have you here.

DaDitka · Sat Jul 07, 2012 9:32 am

Born and raised in Austin so yeah a little bit but I go to school in San Antonio so I kind of fallen away from UT and became a diehard fan of my university even though were only in our second year of football and starting our first year in the FBS this upcoming season.
