It's time for a new cheer. The wave is played out, man.

The wave always gets awkward at a certain point (fat man who can't fully wave; psycho fan who won't quit waving; cool kid who refuses to wave) which is what makes it so amazing.

I've always wondered how this originated... I wonder what people thought of this dude at the time.
|

I'm so glad to find out who started that crazy thing. I mean, that krazy thing.

I love the wave. It gives the crowd a real feeling of camaraderie. Haven't seen it much at the Met games.

So Americana. It's better than raising the roof, though. And all folks can participate, even if they don't have rhythm

The wave interferes with my Cheese Whiz-laden nacho consumption.
|

|
I never even thought about the wave's origins.
|

|
The first wave occurred in the Roman Colosseum circa 200 AD, and all record of it burned during the Visigoth sack of Rome. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

12 meters a second? The waves I start go twice that fast.
|

Ah, the Oakland A's. Those are some fun games to watch at the Oaktown Coliseum. Sadly, I never witnessed Krazy George and the wave. May his legend live on.

Weller was "working on" the wave in the 1970s? Sounds like that Seinfeld episode where he claimed he invented the umbrella twirl.
|
||||
|
seriously demystifying. i always thought the wave was born of sheer enthusiasm. next you're going to tell me that the singing gang members in "west side story" have rehearsed their musical numbers...

Is George his family name and Krazy his given first name - name a kid that and you have to expect them to do something like invent the wave.
|
||||
|
I can't believe there's actually an argument over who started it.
|
||||
|
I started it!!! I also invented the worm.
|

Thanks for the specific info I needed to convince Spanish soccer fans that the Wave was NOT invented at the 1986 Mexico World Cup. They, like most folks in the soccer world, call it the Mexican wave ("la ola mejicana") because that's where they first became aware of it.

Daily Horoscope for December 24
Capricorn
Take things slowly and all will be well. However, you must resist a tendency to be perfectionist over things that don't really matter, otherwise you'll never finish the chores. If you're busy with Christmas preparations, you'll have to control a nagging feeling that you've got to compete with the way other people have done things in the past.
