What's the best way to approach a fellow EMAWer in a foreign state?

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 

"No, my nephew Jacob plays for you guys."

I was in the Mayfield suburb. 

Hopefully you covered his tab blew him????

 

could of only hoped....

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.

"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.

He's the one who said it, not me. 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)

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    look first then the  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)."

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.
