When I saw the thread title, I thought you were going to the LBMB.
{Bwahahahahahahaha!} You all are so easy sometimes. 
Jack Batty: I’m not really a sports fan, but I couldn’t resist the thread anyway for other reasons.
ShamaFrog: No problem - love Hillcrest! I’ll be living in Mira Mesa (aka “Little Manila”).
Silo: After all this time you’re still not paying attention? It’s a derivation of the French word “esprit,” so it’s “es-pree.”
Doob: Promises, promises. 
adam yax: Well, call me an adam yax felcher, how could I forget the team of the only sport I follow to any degree (that being 1 degree, as opposed to zero degrees for all other sports, only because my father used to play ice hockey himself)?!?! Go Flyers!
Kyla: Keep me on the list, babe - stranger things have happened! (Although the Virginia-area and DC Dopers have been trying to get me to come to their gigs for a few months now, so far to no avail, but they’d better hurry!)
SouthernStyle: I can only imagine…
Persephone: Like I said, I simply couldn’t resist. 
SPOOFE Bo Diddly: Howdy, neighbor! We’ll have to catch up at a DopeFest sometime.
Talkinsquirrel: Pretty smart for a squirrel. But still cute, IMHO.
Mojo: Actually, I’m already there, I just haven’t posted in months.
Esprix
Definitely an ostrich feather fan…
