The Celtics start their series against the Cavs tonight. Many of you don't know anything about Cleveland for a good reason- it's Cleveland. However, you might need to talk some smack. Here are some interesting facts you can use:
-Nicknamed "C-Town," so you know that their women are classy.
-Arsenio Hall and Drew Carey are the biggest celebrities from Cleveland. Donnie Wahlberg laughs in your face, C-Town.
-In the 1960's and 1970's, was referred to as "The Mistake on the Lake"
-Used to be the home of the Cleveland Rockers, one of the original 8 WNBA teams, but for some reason that defies logic the WNBA couldn't survive in C-Town.
-Perennial presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich was the mayor of Clevela
nd in the late 70's. Three years after being named mayor, he made $38... for the year.-Under his leadership, Cleveland was the first major city to default since the Great Depression
(WARNING! Now, he is married to a beautiful woman with a tongue ring 30 years younger than him, be prepared for a witty rejoinder. I suggest going straight back to C-Town.)
-Situated on the Cuyahoga River, which is great when it's not a blazing oil fire
-Owner of the Cavs is blind and was duped like a sucker by supergenius Carlos Boozer when he bailed on the team for the Jazz for more money
-Home of the following bands: Nine Inch Nails, Mushroomhead, Filter, Tracy Chapman, and, most importantly, Bone Thugs In Harmony, who made this. That's their love song to Cleveland. Ouch!
-Academy-Award winning film "The Deer Hunter" (1978) was filmed in Cleveland. Fitting, because the movie is about how horrible and depressing life is, as Christopher Walken would rather be a drug addict playing Russian roulette for a living in Vietnam than live in Cleveland
-To hammer this point home, Ichiru Suzuki once put his interpreter to good use when uttering this fantastic statement: "To tell the truth, I'm not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to. If I ever saw myself saying I'm excited going to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face, because I'm lying."
Amen, Ichiro. Amen. Cleveland sucks, go Celtics!Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/05/boston-versus-cleveland.html
