VOTW: The Olden Days
By: Steven | April 28th, 2009Just a quick reminder for teams like Roma and Lazio to show where we were five years ago. History doesn’t bring you trophies, the past doesn’t bring you glory.
Two more remarks:
1) Tomorrow is Fabio Liverani’s birthday. Goats will be sacrificed, women will be taken without foreplay and the streams of humus will be seen from aeyons away.
2) As from thursday, I’m off to the country of fat chicks with whale-tails (yummie), Dr Pepper (yummie) and commercials that are longer than the tv-shows they advertise, so Lorenzo’s in charge until I return. Enjoy!

If you’re asking me then yep, been here for almost two years and the course is on its final stage. My place is just on the outskirt of the very heart of the city, and about 20min away from Artemio Franchi on foot.
So you reside in Turin Giro?

No i dont not Kat my brother is studying there and i spent the whole month of november there. I live in NY.

Giro is from LI, NY aka guido city. He’s a pretty big guido himself. Guy loves sneakers.
Are you staying in Italy, Kat?

btw, pretty sure Guana is the person/thing/being who started the whole swine flu epidemic.

kat are you Italian…if not, how did you choose a team like Palermo and not Fiorentina? I stayed in the Piazza Pitti when I was there two weeks ago.

I, flipflops and hoodies all year round. Easy guess on which part of the States I come from.
Highly unlikely, Ricci. It’s awful hard for a foreigner to find work here.

Alessio, I’m American citizen and no, heritage-wise I got absolutely nothing to do with Palermo, Sicily or Italy.
It’s a long and dull story, and I must’ve written it 30 posts ago or smthg like that.Posted from

Believe me I’d much rather be a glory-hunting strisciate if the choice was up to me.

Flip Flop hoodies? Cali?

who is the choice up to? you got a bf/husband/significant other who is a Palermo fan? or do you just really like pink?
I know you said you were Korean, I didn’t think you were American though. You might be only Korean-American Palermo fan in the world, actually pretty sure you are.

A bit further up. You got the West Coast right tho.
Nobpdy forced it upon me. It just happened at random without much logical reason. You’re prob right Ricci. I’m the only one of my kind I’ve ever encountered. There must be a handful of Palermo fans altogether in Korea.

a lot of korean ppl study-abroad at notre dame and they’re all mad for manchester united…whole park ji-sung thing
a korean palermo fan sounds awesome, though

Haha Spot on colin. Park is treated as national treasure in Korea. After Park, ManU quickly became the darling of all hearts.

Strisciate? Oohh that hurts.
I guess Italy isn’t the darling of Korea after the Ahn Jung-Hwan incident…

Actually, my buddy who plays GK for my team is Korean and a Palermo fan. Well, I turned him into a Palermo fan and he’s been bugging me to get him a jersey for the longest time.
He also is a ManUre fan too – only because of Park of course.
And, he’s also the best goalie i’ve ever played with or witnessed first-hand. Absolutely unbeatable in indoor especially…

This sounds like interview kat time. How do you like Florence? Have you ever been to Palermo?

actually, i’ve been wondering what made everyone here a rosanero, not just kat. sicilian blood lines or?
personally, i lived in sicily during high school, in caltigirone. father worked at a nato base down there. i’d say half the ppl there were rosaneri, the other half elefanti. i went with palermo since they were such an exciting side at the time. promoted to serie a my first year on the island, then uefa cup qualifications next two yrs…the fact that i came from the middle of the island and had friends who are catania fans made the riots of a few yrs ago really disheartening, though. dont get me wrong, i’m rosanero through and through, and i was as upset as anyone with the 4-0 bashing earlier this yr, but i kinda wish there was a “la sicilia siamo noi” aspect to the sicilian derby akin to the southern pride felt in the derby degli due sicilie

One of my friends lived at the navy base in Sigonella for a while, is that anywhere close to Caltigirone?

Quite well Giro. I especially like how you can wander pretty much everywhere on foot within the city limits.
I’ve been to Palermo once with my family but that was more than a decade ago and we only stayed there for a couple of days so my memory is verry blurry.Posted from

Ragazzi! I survived an 8 hour flight to Chicago, seated next to two Kenyans of which one shit his pants and the other weighed as much as the rest of the people on the plane combined. Good to see you guys keep going
Ricci, Giro, if you guys got nothing to do on tuesday afternoon, beers? I’ll buy a US-phone tomorrow, I’ll Facebook the number. Weather blows…

ale, the base was sigonella, actually. but there’s a housing area next to caltigirone…it’s about 45 mins away from sigonella. we travelled across almost 1/4 of the island every day for school

HAHAHAHA PURE GOLD!!!!!!!! ROFL!!!
Steven, is Tuesday a CL day? May have to skip a class and come into the city to watch the game if so. Will let you know soon. Good to see the weather hasn’t dampened your comedic genius.
