Islanders?
July 08, 2004 at 04:14PM View BBCode
In case anyone was wondering why I named the Cleveland franchise the Islanders, it is a reference to the Lake Erie Islands. Most people don't know that there are several islands in Lake Erie. I grew up going to two of them quite often. Actually, one town on one of the islands is quite the party place on weekends during the summer. It even has the Mardi Gras tradition of beeds. Anyway, thought some of you might be interested in why a Cleveland team would be called the Islanders.

I had wondered about the team name. See, SD can be fun AND educational!

All pointless rambling aside, I honestly had no clue there were Islands up there. Thank you for clarifiying that your team name isn't out of left field and for teaching me something new.

I like learning, it puts me one step above cockroaches in terms of intelligence. Maybe if I learn enough one day I'll be smarter than a horsefly.All pointless rambling aside, I honestly had no clue there were Islands up there.

Could you be referring to Put-In-Bay (spelling?), where they have their own local version of Jimmy Buffet (Pat something), and the Bud Light flows like a river from the mountains in spring?

Pat Daly is his name and yes Put-n-Bay is the party place I'm referring to. You ever been there?

I was there once with my cousin - my family lives mostly in the Buckeye State around Youngstown/Canton and Columbus. The weekend was one long Bud-flavored drinking game. But from what little memory I do have, it was an interesting place, much like any other beach town but without the salt water, just plopped down on a tiny island. Kind of chilly at night.Pages: 1
