Stuff like that. I usually get rid of them once they stop amusing me by talking about obscure facts and trivia.. Many bandwagon fans in the office. They'll cheer me as I replace the flags on the top of our building with Flames flags... then heckle me when I've taken them down after the past 2 years...
Drives me nuts now that I think of it.

Kinda reminds me of last night... went to Melrose with some co-workers, and these girls came around with a "contest"... all they do is rattle off jersey numbers and you have to say who wears it. Pretty easy for anyone who watches the Flames even on a semi-regular basis, right? Nope.
I was the only one at the table who could do it, and everyone just stared at me in amazement at how I could remember all those jersey numbers. "ohhh, how do you do that?"
My reply was that we could play the same game with 1989 jersey numbers and I'd do just as well.
