Dedication #11: The enemy, Suppuko, Red Sox
How devoted am I to the SOA/VC cause? Just look below. There is not one person in the other coalitions who has sacrificed as much as I just did. Smash doesn't count because he risked his life in Iraq before this whole challenge.
Do you know what it is like for a life long Yankees fan/Red Sox hater to wear the emblem of the dreaded enemy? It's like killing just a little piece of yourself. If I were a samurai, I'd be all about the seppuko, driving the blade in my stomach to the hilt right now. Good thing I'm not a samurai, eh?
I did this with my head held high, though. It was all in the name of a noble cause.
I will keep telling myself that.
Forgive me, Thurman Munson.

I need to shower with steel wool now.

No one will mistake you for a real Sox fan from this photo. If you were a real Sox fan, you'd be waving a broom around right now. OH YEAH.

damn. you DO have gorgeous cleavage.

The Constitution will be sailing into Long Island Sound tomorrow to present the terms of surrender to Lord Steinbrenner. I think that you wearing the hat is probably what inspired Pedro and Manny today. Good work!

If you did shower with steel wool that would probably be one more shower than Thurman Munson ever took in his life. He was one hygenically challenged dude (unlike Carlton Fisk who was in soap commercials).

WUSSIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!
Michele's wussing out! :-P Is this pic a fraud? No face = no deal. :-(
C'mon, 'Chele, you haven't really humiliated yourself unless the Sox pic includes a clear shot of your face, preferably with a faux goofy 'We just swept the friggin' YANKS!' Sox-fan grin on your face. Make it perfect by adding an emphatic thumbs-up (no, no middle fingers!) too.
Only then will we know you're truly willing to take one high and inside for the SOA/VC cause.
:-)

Nice cleavage...now what's all this about a hat? Where?
Posted by: a different Bill | April 25, 2004 09:13 PM
Clark, you want that stuff, you have to donate a decent amount to SOA.
This post was for those who donated specifically to see me in a Sox cap - no one said anything about looking happy about it.
"Only then will we know you're truly willing to take one high and inside for the SOA/VC cause."
Smiley face notwithstanding, bite me.

Nice hat.
Nicer hatrack.

As one of those Sox donors, thank you. Joe is delirious with delight. Me, I'm just astonished - I don't think any amount of donations could get me into an Oregon State cap. You're a stronger woman than I.

The "B" stands for what again?
(Sorry Michele, just playing along.)
Posted by: Rob A. | April 25, 2004 10:11 PM
Michele,
Even a pouty face (with or without mascara streaks) would be fine, but a pic advertised as 'Michele-in-Sox-cap' without Michele's face, well ... it ... disappoints.
:-(...
Aw, 'Chele, you know I'd never really question your commitment to 'the cause.'
No hard feelings, K? For the record--Ya Rock! Anyway, you're maybe the most decent person I know that likes the Yankees.
Posted by: Clark | April 25, 2004 10:24 PM
I know what I hate. The Yankees I hate, but you in that hat, and Britney in a Yankees jersey, that I don't hate.
It's not just April anymore when you're 6 and 1 versus the Evil Empire! How on earth are the Yankees going to win 9 out of the next 12 to win this series?
Seriously Michelle, how much would I have to donate to get you to say: "Georgie Porgie, he might buy the whole league, but he doesn't have enough money to buy fear to put in my heart."

What i wonder, is why did she have a Sox cap just, laying around? Closet Sawx fan are ye ? Hmmmmmmm.
Posted by: garybibb | April 25, 2004 10:40 PM
there's a Sox hat in that picture?
Posted by: mikey | April 25, 2004 10:45 PM
What's that caption on the picture about horribly large size???? {gdr}
Posted by: ruminator | April 25, 2004 11:04 PM
You certainly are a sport, Michele.
Run out alll of your ground balls.
Some of them just might be winners.
Bravo.

"The "B" stands for what again?"
Beautiful.
And breasts, okay.
Posted by: David F. | April 26, 2004 12:03 AM
I can't believe it! You have great boobs! Tricker!
I would proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with you!
Posted by: Rosemary the Queen of All Evil | April 26, 2004 12:40 AM
The B could stand for the curse of the BAMBINO. Or the Sawx are the Yankees BEEYOTCH.
We'll see who is yucking it up in October Sawx fans...as per usual.
Despite the hat Michele is the haWt.

I tried clicking "for horribly large size," but all it did was make the picture bigger.

I was about to make a joke that "Steel wool" was your nickname for your husband, but I'll let that one pass.
Posted by: Laurence Simon | April 26, 2004 07:44 AM
Outstanding.
Posted by: IB Bill | April 26, 2004 09:13 AM
And it's a Seventies-era Sox hat! Carlton Fisk style!
Posted by: Crank | April 26, 2004 10:06 AM
Michele, that is one of the funniest (and most gratifying) images I have ever seen in my life.
You are truly courageous. Ha!
Posted by: red | April 26, 2004 10:35 AM
First the wine rack behind your son and now your own? Jeez, I've heard of working a meme, but c'mon!
Posted by: TC-LeatherPenguin | April 26, 2004 10:37 AM
Boooo!
That ain't a legit Sox bicentennial cap. Looks more like a Nascar lid or a gas station giveaway cap than something Yaz of Fisk would have worn.
I feel slighted.

If you were REALLY courageous, you'd wear a Cubs hat.
Posted by: Mark | April 29, 2004 12:19 PM
I must be lost... by the pic, lovely though it might be, I'm guessing I got sitejacked to OliverWillis?

Michelle,
I think you will absolutely hate our website, so have a look.
