5. That's the Red Sox's 2004 trophy, you dork!
They didn't even have them before 1967. That's 13 years after the dorky Giants won their last series.

14. The city of San Francisco is not a cat.
And it's insulting to call it "Frisco."

Just ask any of the many Freepers who refer to it as such.

16. Why get concerned about that name?
After all, the nickname for my Denver is "The Queen City of the Plains".

Now that is one you can have a field day with.

Oh shit, don't even think of moving here!

18. I think you can call it Frisco now
but there's no way Madinmaryland can pronounce San Francisco the way a local does.

i'll bet money on that. :hi:
