Spotted a guy with his wife and kids at the grocery store a few hours ago here in central Texas.
He was wearing the most glorious purple K-State windbreaker.
I had my silver powercat ballcap on.
It felt a bit too awkward to walk up to his family and go EMAW in front of the kids.
Please advise. :dunno:
-
just say it. eff the kids.
not literally though.. dont do that.

Secret hand sign and secret hand shake. Didn't you read the manual? :facepalm:
-
"did you go to kansas state?"
"me too"
-
just this :eye:

I always like the "nice shirt/jacket" or "I like your shirt/jacket" :dunno:
-
just scream
rough ridin' SIRR PARKER!!!

I always strike up a conversation and it usually goes something like this "Hey dumbass, what the eff does this thread have to do with football?"
:flush:
-
i have tried to do this all over the country. usually go with "Go State." they don't realize what is going on right away but eventually they find out. get the :confused: look first then the :surprised: and then a general look of awkwardness. and "yeah. go cats" if i'm lucky. one time i said it to an old guy in western new york wearing a kstate shirt and he said "oh. i actually bought this shirt because it was on sale down at (insert some local store name)."
-
Nope, just go, "Hey, are you from Kansas?" Works every time. :party:
-
When I meet a fellow EMAWer out of state is usually goes down pretty similar to that scene in Braveheart, when the Irish and Scottish meet on the battlefield. It always ends with some guys giving me a boost on his knee while I wave :kstatriot: and some other bros loft arrows at English dudes.
Note- this did not go over well in England.
-
I moved out-of-state about 6 months ago. I've met a couple emaws and had some great conversations about OOD/tailgating/The Chef/Wareham resurgence etc. It's always been worth starting the conversation, even if it's awkward.

So a football topic would've been a good approach? Does this frighten kids?

Ive met a few here in South Central too, be VERY careful though... there are many Powertards that migrate south for some reason. I usually approach and do many oftbe above, but when they start spouting about how wonderful it is having OBz back, I usually GTFO as quickly as possible to avoid punches to his grill. But, I've heard of a watch party that I'm considering checking out, if interested PM me and I'll fwd the email to you.

I expect to get spanked by MU, but until then, OB is the greatest coach ever.

pay heed to Tommys advice about the 'Tard migration. If they bring up Catbacker group watch parties at the local Fox & Hound, Run. rough ridin' run.

Did this once and got a very positive response.

When I lived in Chicago in 07-08, was watching the KSU-KU basketball game(that we one) at the only bar in the entire Chicagoland area that would put it on and there were 2 dudes cheering for us next to me. Just asked them if the went to K-state. His response was amazingly :gocho:
"No, my nephew Jacob plays for you guys."
I was in the Mayfield suburb. :ksu:

Just had an EMAW ask me about KSU at pac coast hotel gym after noticing my elite purple catscratch hoops shorts. Now awaiting goEMAW registration of 99WashingtonBioCat.

I rough ridin' hate those claw marks.... cool story though.
-
I feel like I see fellow k-statriots (lol) everywhere I go, like an inordinate amount. Probably just because they stick out to me, but I feel like I saw like a hundred in New Orleans the other week.

The black one's were pretty rough ridin' sweet, I admit. Claw marks only work on shorts though. Claw mark jerseys were horrible.

By the way, it's funny that this thread should be brought up. My original icebreaker line I posted? The one that goes, "Oh, are you from Kansas?" That worked on a random K-Stater in New Orleans for me a couple months ago.
.....We started talking, and I quickly figured out that it was WeirdRobert'sFoamFinger. It was, I suppose, my first official 'pak. :cheers:

"jewgo ta stayt!?" That usually works.
fwiw most folks just come up to you (if you are one of those ppl that other ppl gravitate towards).
The other day the manager of a local Hooters would NOT stop chatting me up about how excited he was about the VahTech/State game, and how his ugly wife went to KSU. I'm like dude do you not see hot sauce on my lips and boobs in the twinkle of my eye?
If example KSU'r ppl have a child though, they tend to run away because they know what a crazy party school KSU is. :blank:

He's the one who said it, not me. :dunno: You think his wife comes and hangs out at work while he's on shift at Hooters? Besides it's not a story about a chick from KSU who talked to me about graduating from KSU. I didn't see her.

strike up a conversation, but call ksu the bobcats instead of the wildcats.

Every time I wear my Aggieville shirt, I have people come up and ask me if I went to KSU. EVERY TIME
Only sometimes do people come up to me when I wear my other KSU shirts... (Live in Colorado)

This. But add a good fistpump in there too

Is it that black one with the white letters? If so I rock that crap all the time. People love the ville.
