Do you pronounce Kuwait as "Koo-wate" or "Kyoo-ate"?

Koo-wait but with the NE accent it actually sounds more kuh- wait.

Q8. is just obnoxious. I don't speak Arabic so I don't care how they pronounce it.

@MethDozer NE as in New England?

@BlueMetalChick Oh my bad, North East. I have one of the upstate NY accents. We don't move our lips much.

@MethDozer Oh alright. I was about to tell you that if you're a Bruins fan I'm never talking to you again, but if you're from NY then you'd be either a Rangers or Islanders supporter. Or Sabres, if you're from upstate.

@BlueMetalChick I hate the Sabers about as much as I hate Bruins. I am actually a Blackhawks and Rangers fan. Blackhawk were my team as a kid but then I got into rooting for the Rangers.

I grew up in Western NY and Bills and Sabers fans are ducking obnoxious AF.

@MethDozer I'm a rabid Blackhawks fan. I supported the Rangers against the Kings and the Lightning though.

Speaking of the Lightning, I was so happy to see them swept first round by Columbus.

@BlueMetalChick I dont like seeing any warm climate team win to be honest.

I am not rabid for any team or any sport. I never understood intense fandom past childhood to be honest.

@MethDozer I make an exception for the Sharks. I root for them on occasion. Other than that though, yeah, fuck Sun Belt expansion teams. Some are easier to hate than others, admittedly. Fuck the Kings, fuck the Lightning, fuck the Predators. It's difficult to hate the Coyotes or Panthers cos they suck so bad that you feel like you're beating a dead horse. The Stars are obnoxious af but I did really appreciate the Hillenburg tribute they did recently to give a middle finger to the NFL. The one I can't decide on is the Ducks. I love the Mighty Ducks movie and the old school Anaheim logo is one of the coolest in any sport, ever, but the Ducks fans are obnoxious cunts, and fuck Cory Perry and Ryan Kesler and Ryan Getzlaf.

@BlueMetalChick I hate on Anaheim because they named the team.after the movie. Liked the movie, but making a real team out of a Disney movie? LAME. Plus Anaheim as a place? LAME.

@BlueMetalChick You sound similar to how I am. You got your team and then the conditional teams.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@MethDozer The Blackhawks are absolutely my team. My "other teams" are the Rangers, the Sharks, and the Capitals. I sorta like the Jets, and I've formed temporary alliances with the Blue Jackets on occasion. I also find Columbus fans to be very friendly people.

@BlueMetalChick Blackhawks have the sickest colors.

Just look how fresh [image deleted]
