Difference is cool. Not gainsaying difference. Just don't like EITHER side being obnoxious and sneering.
I didn't get the Trek reference, but you betcha I got the OTHER reference.(grin) I have not the opportunity to tailgate that I would like, alas. It's probably fortunate. Since I'm probably worse at a tailgate than watching football on TV, and none of you have ever seen me watch football on TV. I am a born-and-bred-dammit-was-living-there-during-The-Perfect-Season-Dolfan. (Aka Miami Dolphins, for those who need explanation.(grin)) I even remember my mother NOT objecting to people dancing on our CAR after that Super Bowl...
But my mother taught me to watch football on TV in the following manner: scream at both good and bad plays, pray loudly for referees' oft-failing sight to be restored, call down imprecations and express wishes for massive injuries to opposing players (to be miraculously healed after the game, of course--we didn't really want them HURT, but off the ##$%@ field), and so forth. This was another of the many things my ex found...inappropriate.(eye roll)
I look forward to finding a man who LIKES a woman who can watch football and scream at the TV just as passionately as a man. But I won't inflict my watching habits on my poor unsuspecting friends.(grin)
