Dear Beloved Red Sox,
Recently I have become accutely aware of the fact that you are men after my own heart. Crazed, wacky hooligans, like these guys. I've always suspected as much, but only recent have my nascent suspicions flowered into unabashed confidence, and dare I say it, love.
My dear friend Mesh vowed today that he would not cut a single hair on his body till the end of the series, pending your victory. This is an honorable promise.
I too vow that, despite my wife's insistence, I will not cut my hair or shave at all until the end of the series when you triump over That Most Evil Team Which Shall Not Be Named. My crazy curls will be your crazy curls. My 5 day shadow will be your 5 day shadow. And may we, in a week, celebrate your most glorious triumph over all that is ugly and wrong in this world.
I am aware that this may 'cause some looks of suspicion with my clients. That way may suffer some economic fallout because someone might be offended by my disheveled appearance. Sometimes though, there are things in life more important than money.
Sincerely yours,
Josiah Q. Roe esq.
ps. I wanted to promise to watch every game naked, Johnny Damon style, but I think that would do more harm to the cause than good.

You should be required to post a daily picture so that we can see the progress. If you don't, then there is no fun in it for us.

This isn't abut fun. It's about dedication. The only people who should be allowed to see the results of our efforts should be those who care just as much.

That's what I love about Yankees fans: the creativity.

Oh the hope of Red Sox fans...Kind of like when as a kid I put part of my cookie in the plant, hoping I would have a never-ending supply in the near future. So endearing. Maybe we'll let'em win one of these years...

I always thought that Red Sox fans (I myself am a marginal one) are a lot like Christians, in that they live by faith and not by sight. The World Series, like heaven, is always in the future. This motivates them to gather to encourage one another to believe that someday, some day, they will celebrate a World Championship. But the actual winning of it might be a bit disappointing, because 'maybe next year' won't mean as much. Indeed, not only should every Boston fan shave all their body hair, they might as well blow Fenway up after the Sox win the Series. There will be nothing more to live for.

I'm curious -- where or to whom should a Yankee fan look to one-up his creativity?
