I just got this in an email for some odd reason (since I'm in Manitoba and all and couldn't care less, but it is amusing)
It reads:
Dear Oiler Fans,
If you don't know how to read please get a literate adult to help you
understand this letter and I encourage you to respond but try to do so
using whole sentences.
A couple of very peculiar things have come to my attention recently, the
first is this car flag thing. Lets just all admit that this is a Calgary
Flames fan idea, I would like to offer this as the first piece of evidence
that Oiler fans are jealous of Calgary. It appears to me that Oiler fans
are completely fair weather as it gets, these Oiler flags have been
available all year but it seems they decided to put them on after the first
round, you got to love Edmonton's belief in their team!
The second peculiar thing is "The Blue Mile"... Where have I heard that
before? where where where... OH I remember! CALGARY with it's Red Mile, I
will offer this as the second piece of evidence that Oiler fans wish they
lived in Calgary. Come on, any person with half a brain could have thought
of something, ANYTHING, more original. "The Oil Slick", "the goal light
district" ANYTHING!! The truly amusing thing is the Red Mile (or 17th Ave
S.W.) is what it is due to the fact the Saddledome empties into it. In
Edmonton after you leave Rexall (or whatever the name is this year) you
have to travel through 20 kilometres of ugliness, concrete, mullets and
people with no chiclets before you get to Whyte Ave. Maybe Oiler fans were
just unclear on the concept. In addition the Red Mile in 2004 had a special
feel because we beat the best!! This year the Oilers have had to beat the
worst the west had to offer so please don't pretend to think you have
anything on the aura of the 2004 Calgary Flames although it's clear by now
you wish you were Flames fans.
I am a little happy for the Oiler success this year it will give you
something to talk about that isn't 20 years old and involves Wayne Gretzky,
it will rejuvenate the battle that was missing for far to long in this
province of which you are the Capital...in name only, certainly not in
money, size, population and looks. ( I would take a FLAMES GIRL over a Whyte Ave dog any day!!)
In conclusion Oiler fan if you want to be Calgary Fans so much, just cheer
for Calgary, make up some of your own ideas and please please sign Roloson
to a long team contract. I can't wait until he lets you down next season.
Regards,
Flames Fans
