Before there were teams and school boards there was drab cultural void. Everything was homogeneous mediocrity. Now we have a greatly enriched experience with Starbucks, Subway and Target superstores in every town, as far as the eye can see. When it's Halloween time, they wheel out the orange decorations and sell pumpkin spice flavored corn syrup snacks then when it's Thanksgiving they bring out turkey flavored corn syrup snacks, and then at Christmas - a special time - they dust off the sparkly decorations and candy corn shaped corn syrup snacks for us. Ho ho ho. After that there's pink colored decorations for Valentines, egg-shaped corn syrup snacks for Easter, which runs straight into Mother's Day and/or Father's Day probably, I forget, with more snacks and more decorations and then it's time to sugar up for something or other and then we celebrate July 4th with mountains of corn syrup straight out of the jar and smeared over turkey and baked into honey marshmallow triple-bypass bread, nom nom nom. I'm so glad they force feed culture into us otherwise the whole world would be a barren wasteland.
