Speaking of towels, if I ever became a Sikh, I'd wear a terrible towel on my head. Shout out to any Sikhs on here. I met a guy that was a Sikh several years back and he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. It must be a rule that you have to be in the top .1% of nice people in the world before they invite you to be a part of what they're doing.
This is true.
I deal with several Sikh students, both male and female, and they are pretty much the nicest and most respectful group of students I've ever met.
OT: Did you know that Captain Nemo of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea fame was a Sikh?
He wasn't very nice, though...
Did not know that. I don't remember any drawings of him with a towel on his head? He did seem to battle injustice, so maybe he was one of the nice guys.
My first encounter with a Sikh was with a competitor's company at the time at a trade show. He was being very friendly and I was a little suspicious he was looking for competitive info or doing something with a bad motive. But I've kept in touch over the years with the guy and it turns out he's still the same nice guy that's just a little bit of a techie/nerd that always asks a lot of questions about everything.
I have to admit, I met the guy shortly after 9/11 and I thought he might be a terrorist. I didn't really know what terrorists looked like. I just thought a guy with that much facial hair and a towel on his head must be one. Boy am I embarrassed to tell that.
Looking back on my life I can say that was the one time I was a racist. Although I think everyone acted a little different after 9/11. I think I was extra freaked out about it because I was on a flight that day that never took off. To this day, I still feel a little weird about flying.
What chaps my ass is that fans of all other teams will ridicule the Terrible Towel, but then I see all these other teams passing out their free knockoff towels and the fans waving them around. How hypocritical.
Pittsburgh, PA: City of Champions.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
