Week 2 Trip.

**camdenyard** · 09-03-2006, 10:23 PM

I'd like to join in on the festivities...are they planned for the evening of 9/15?

FellsPoint, a stop at the Cat's Eye is surely part of the plan, no?

Yes, Friday evening it will be.

I don't do the Cat's Eye. Firstly, they card at the door, which could cause problems for one of our brethren, and secondly I have a couple of issues with their political leanings. I may be able to overcome these reservations and stop there for a pint if everyone wants to go, though.

You got camo pants Dave!Me gotta get some.They look cool.
You both look well.

**UKRavenStockers** · 09-04-2006, 08:54 PM

Both look well and the 21st I've just got in from was tame, so the countdown is on to Baltimore.

Fells Point can probably expand on this but my understanding is that it originated through fans of British Rugby. As you may know, there are a gazillion rugby songs, mostly bawdy and rude

. This particular song has the line "if she don't come, I'll tickle her bum with a stick of celery."

Apparently while singing this in the stands of your local Rugby field, you then proceed to wing the celery at fans of the opposing team.

The last time Dave was here, we launched a barrage of celery at some hapless Chiefs fan walking bythe tailgate. Hilarious.

**UKRaven** · 09-05-2006, 01:34 AM

I took some friends to Castleford v Hull KR (Rugby League) game some years ago. At half-time a barrage of celery went the 'Cas fans way along with the song - all done in good humour!!

I believe Chelsea fans are credited with its creation.

KR fans still sing the celery song - I sang it with them myself at Batley away (my 40th) last Sunday!

I do however suggest a toned down version for this Raiders game Taigate could be:

Celery!!! Celery!!!
The 'Brits are here! We'll drink some beer!
And throw some CELERY!
Celery! Celery!

and so on................

Thanks for the English lesson, Gents.

**Greg** · 09-06-2006, 08:03 PM

IIRC.

Celery, Celery
we'll shave her cum
and tickle her bum
and we'll do it with celery

**UKRaven** · 09-07-2006, 01:50 AM

Celery, Celery
for if she comes?
we'll tickle her bum
with a lump of Celery

There are different versions of the same song. I meerly suggested a toned down version to avoid getting arrested, or a law suit form some feminists!

Clearly the point of difference is the 'for if she comes' or 'we'll shave her cum' - both or which, said quickly, sound similar.

We are more likely to get away with 'for if she?' one!

The addition of a second verse for the tailgate - 'the Brits are here ...' would work only if people are regular chanters at sports games. Which of course I am, but i am not too sure about everyone else!!!!

We've got a cuople of days to sort out this one - prior to the tailgate!!!

**FellsPointRaven** · 09-07-2006, 08:52 AM

I've asked this before, but how would you shave that anyway??!

I say leave the line in there and don't worry about being un-PC - inside every feminist is a party girl just waiting to get out - as Jeremy Piven says in PCU.

**UKRaven** · 09-07-2006, 08:58 AM

'For if she comes' - is much easier on the un-initiated. Better to have 15 of us singing one song - as we pelt the Raider fan that gets into the cross-hairs!!!

**FellsPointRaven** · 09-07-2006, 09:03 AM

Officially one week to go, by the way.

You excited yet?

**UKRavenStockers** · 09-07-2006, 09:15 AM

Wasn't excited yet until I realised whilst playing football last night that when I was playing football next wednesday it'd be mere hours before flying to Baltimore!

Just better make sure I wake up a bit earlier next Thursday than I did today, lol.

**crowdog89** · 09-07-2006, 09:20 AM

I just want to wish all of you a very safe and happy journey across the pond.
Good speed and a following wind.....

Look forward to meeting and tailgating with you on the 17th!

Does going to bed late and waking up early,qualify.I don't think it is really going to hit home until I meet up with the guys Thursday at Heathrow.
Then I will be rocking and

my face off.

**UKRavenStockers** · 09-13-2006, 06:10 AM

Bumping up this old thread up needing wise counsel, to me silly headwear is a must at a sporting event, it's a fez for Saracens games, a white and red jester's hat for Saracens games and anything random if I go anywhere else. Is there suitably silly headwear that I can get my mits on in Baltimore to continue my silly headwear at sporting events tradition? Perhaps a purple and gold jesters hat?

**crowdog89** · 09-13-2006, 06:32 AM

It's too late to get one online prior to leaving for ya'll...but I'm sure you'll be able to find one of these

Somewhere...

If not I'll bring me chefs hat and you can act like you are cooking the Raiders....

<- LOL, you Brits just invite the jokes about your dental care. Just kidding, I have green teeth, dontchaknow.

By the way, Fanatic pimp hat is THE head gear. I have one (without the Ravens brim thing he has) but I can't wear it. He IS the pimp hat man.
