2003 Jan 21 Choke!
Jim Esch on Philly and the Eagles: "This city is best known for its chokers. When the chips are down, and the game is on the line, you choke. You fail. You give up the homerun. You fall down and the other guy scores. You flub the routine save. You have the open look with the shot clock at zero and you miss the net. It's part of our character. We know it's going to happen. We dream that it won't happen again. We visualize alternative futures where it can't be allowed to happen, where God in His infinite mercy will let us off the hook. Then it happens. The big choke again."»
Fireland
In January, 2003, Josh Allen has been updating Fireland frequently, parsing his (narrator's) teen memories, sampling brand names, and looping his reminisces into a rare, unique collage of language that matches its form exactly.»
