Rise Up
I stopped at the local convenience store on my home from work to invest in the white trash retirement plan. I finished my transaction and the guy behind the counter looked at me and said "Rise up," in that deep voiced football game kind of way.
"Pardon me," I asked in confusion.
"Rise up," he said again and I had to check my zipper to see if that was what he meant. "Rise up," he said again pointing to his tee-shirt. It turns out that that would be the Cleveland Cavaliers slogan for their championship bid. That is great and all, but somebody saying Rise up to me is more irritating than when Ohio State plays and people shout "O-H!" in your face expecting you to reply "I-O!" Ugh!
P.S.
So far it is looking like the Cavs won't win a game in the finals. I wonder if that will deflate LeBron's ego any?

LeBron's ego deflated? Never. Even after defeat in the Finals he'll be remembered for that 48 point masterpiece against the Pistons.
I like the idea of greeting people with the slogan of a surging local team. Sense of community and such.
when people walk by our house on the way to Buckeye's games, and they say "O-H", I always like to respond "E-L-L-O"! I guess I enjoy the looks of confusion.
