Empire Building

Returning from your hometown to your town of residence in China is the chance (or sometimes obligation) to bring gifts. I see this as an opportunity to spread the Pittsburgh love. Or claim unchartered territory.

Property of Pittsburgh Steelers

But did you play the requisite "Here we go" song? I think you should teach them all to sing that so they'll be ready for the next football season!

You might have an empire, but I've got a (Red Sox) Nation!

Have you seen "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? Now, I admit I *saw* it, I have not read it.

Anyway, thinking of Steeler polkas got me thinking about the scene with the Vogon reading poetry to Arthur and Ford, and Ford looks like someone was trying to rip his brain out. Vogon poetry being the 2nd worst poetry in the galaxy. I can only imagine what would happen if I listened to a Steeler's polka...

Red Sox: 1-peat
Steelers: 4-peat
Yankees: Dynasty, fully one-fourth of baseball's World Championships won by the Yankees

Well, technically we are still only at Steelers Nation, because of the Pittsburgh diaspora. For instance, the Post-Gazette maintains a list of Steelers bars around the country and around the world.

The one in Louisville is awesome, and it is like being in a Hard Rock Cafe except everything is Steelers.
And don't you just love the peace sign? Chinese girls make that gesture whenever they are getting their picture taken.
