Grandma 89, why are your Depends in such a bunch over this inane topic ?
If you really want to talk Washington fan base, the last world series for a DC team was 1933, last and only win was 1924. DC had a team from 1901-1971 and 2005-Present under 3 different franchise, and nearly a 4th with San Diego in 1973. They had uniforms and even used Washington National League on the early release of Topps Baseball cards from 1974.

1973 Washington Nationals aka San Diego Padres
Wait a minute, Gil. The Padres and the Expos both started in ‘69 as expansion teams. The Senators didn’t migrate to SD.

Senators migrated to Texas.
Well, technically the original Senators migrated to Minnesota and became the Twins (that's why Killibrew went from DC to Minneapolis, not Arlington). That's where all the Senators franchise records are housed. The new Senators were only in DC for about a decade before taking off for Arlington.

He was talking about 69's, and the second coming of the Senators were the team of reference at that time. That's why I didn't mention the 1961 Senators/Twins move.

Yeah, we debate such serious topic on the sports board gramps. GMAFB.

If you get aroused by a six-pack of Stella, good on ya.
You were talking about a hard on in the mens bathroom.
Actually, Granny, you missed the point (as usual). I was just making a joke about the strength of my urine stream. Had nothing to do with arousal, you perv.

In that case, you win. I'm not old enough to know what a weak stream is.
But a strong stream on a granite wall is a recipee for disaster.
Here's a little too much personal information: When I take the DC commuter bus in the morning, I stop at the new Wawa just before KI to take a leak before I get on the bus. The bus does have a pisser, but yuck. I found that going back to sleep for an hour from 5-6am can restart the whole morning wood process and lead to weird situations. Better to empty that bladder when you get a chance.
