PITTSBURGH GIRLS


A Pittsburgh girl knows just as much
about football as her guy friend
in some cases, even more.

She drinks beer because it tastes good
but knows when to be classy and drink
something more sophisticated.

She owns a Steeler jersey not just
because it's cute but because she
supports her team and understands the game.

She loves Kennywood and isn't afraid to
order cheese fries from the Potato Patch
because, let's face it.........

Pittsburgh girls wear winter coats and
scarves a lot more than bikinis and flip flops.

A Pittsburgh girl loves St.. Patrick's Day,
even if she's not Irish because green
beer is good for the soul.

Pittsburgh girls don't have a funny
accent. They just speak a different language.

The word yinz is dear to her heart, even if
she would never say it herself.

A Pittsburgh girl bleeds black and gold and
knows how to have a great time.

She's stylish and sweet. She has a great
education and loves her friends and family.

A Pittsburgh girl goes to church on Sunday
hung over, only to be let out by the priest early
because the Steelers kick off at one.

A Pittsburgh girl might not live by
the beach, but the Three Rivers are just as good!

She has seen all four seasons and has
a reason to love and hate each of them.

She's the type of girl you can call late at
night and spill your heart out to.

She's the type you can take home to Mom and
Dad without worrying they won't like her.
Because everyone loves a Pittsburgh girl.

If you need a girl to take to the game, she'll be there.

If you need a friend to help you out, she's there.

If you need a drinking buddy, she'll be there with her
IC Light in hand.

So let your Pittsburgh girl know you love her!

You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh,
but you can never take the Pittsburgh out of the girl!!!!!


GO STEELERS!

I can remember how the whole area gets behind their sports teams and hearing the Priest offer up prayers for our team to win.

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

Great post Kathy! I married a "Pittsburgh Girl" myself - except for maybe the church on Sunday part...

 

[bellaDisneydncr]

I love this. This is my first post, but have been reading for years. I couldn't pass it up. I wish I was in Tampa!

 

[crazytp93]

Lol. Thanks for passing this on.

 

[safetymom]

Thanks for the link to the song. I have passed it along to my Pgh. friends.

 

[bcvdreamer]

Thanks for the Pittsburgh Girl poem and the song link!

Love the poem. LOL I don't think I've ever gone to a church where the priest/pastor didn't carry a Terrible Towel.

Who's excited?!?

Kathy, on http://www.kdkaradio.com/ you can get your Steeler fix with Super Bowl updates every 10 min.

Go Steelers!

Our priest said on Sunday that we HAD to wear black and gold this week and of course he has been saying weekly prayers for them!!

Not actually from Pittsburgh, 100 miles east in Northern Cambria, PA.

Someone sent me this and I may consider using it.

Official “Won’t-Be-In-On-Time” Permission Slip

In celebration of the Pittsburgh Steelers appearance in Super Bowl XLIII, I hereby request permission to report late for work on Monday, February 2, 2009.

I plan to join the entire southwestern Pennsylvania region (aka Sixburgh) and Steelers fans around the world and participate in the following activities on Super Bowl Sunday:

Shop for appropriate Steelers attire to wear all day and night of Super Bowl Sunday

Stop by the nearest supermarket to stock up on all the Steelers essentials (chipped chopped ham, jumbo, etc.)

Listen to “The Pittsburgh Steelers Polka” or other Steelers odes on the radio.

Tune into the pre-game TV broadcasts and laugh at the stories showing the dirty, smoky city of yesteryear, knowing that Pittsburgh just doesn’t look like that anymore.

Wave the Terrible Towel throughout the Super Bowl player introductions or until my arm gets tired.

Chant “Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go” non-stop during the game

Consume large quantities of pierogies, kielbasa, any Heinz product and, of course, Iron City.

All of these things will tire me out and make it necessary for me to come in late on Monday.

Boss, I appreciate your cooperation in this important matter and sincerely thank you for your understanding that my heart belongs to “Sixburgh.”


Go Steelers

 

[bcvdreamer]

Safetymom, Are you going to Tampa for some pre-game activities? Shumway is reporting live from Tampa...just thought you'd like to know!

 

[safetymom]

I might just have to travel over to Tampa to see John Shumway. I always thought he was hot!

‘Twas the Night Before the Super Bowl

‘Twas the
night before the Super Bowl, when along the gulf shore,
Steelers fans
were praying for “just one more;”

The players
were nestled all snug in the sack,
With visions of
the first NFL Six-Pack;

Coach Tomlin
was young, but wise for his years,
So I drifted
off to sleep without any fears;


When at the
stadium there arose some strange chatter,
The Cardinals
feared, what was the matter;


We heard
“Okel Dokel”, we heard “Double Yoi,”
We jumped from
our beds, our hearts jumped for joy;


He stood at the
fifty with a grin ear to ear,
Steelers fans
everywhere started to cheer;

Then in an
instant to our surprise,
This little old
man had tears in his eyes;

He went to the
booth and there took his chair,
While Terrible
Towels waved in the air;

Then over the
airwaves came his shrill voice,
The Steelers
Nation began to rejoice;


He said,
“I am back, but you know I can’t stay,
I just had to
see my Steelers play".

>From my home up
above, I have a great view,
But I wanted to
celebrate here with you;

So bring on the
Birds, we’ll send them a flyin’,
On the way back
to Phoenix , they will be cryin’;

Ben, Hines,
Troy , Jeff and all of the rest,
No matter the
outcome, to me you’re the best;”

The airwaves
went silent, the stadium still,
Was this just a
dream, it seemed so real;

In our team we
have faith, in our team we have hope,
But the
game’s not the same without Myron Cope;

I might just have to travel over to Tampa to see John Shumway. I always thought he was hot!

Who? What position does he play?

 

[safetymom]

Newscaster on KDKA TV. He used to do the early morning news and now is a field reporter and does radio now.

 

[safetymom]

Thanks for the Myron Cope tribute. He really was a big Steeler fan.
