WTF. Last time I yelled? IDK. Like never ago. I don't think there's an innate human need to shout. Maybe in Neanderthal times, but this is honestly the first time I'm hearing shouting is some need. I don't shout or yell. Ever. I've always assumed shouting was something done by people who can't control themselves or at least turn off that control for a brief period because they just decided to just operate like a baboon.

Going to a hockey game isn’t the same as going to a movie theatre, as much as you wish it were, and I don’t think anybody at the Dome owes you that experience. If that’s the experience you’re expecting, it’s less that others don’t have social graces, and more than you don’t understand the expectations of different social situations.

You’re one of those people who give a quiet little fist pump when they score a goal but are too bashful to stand up and cheer, aren’t you? That’s super weird.

Well, I think I'm going to disagree with you at least with respect to the situation last night. If 299 people can control themselves and just enjoy the game and one woman is flapping her gums nonstop at the top of her lungs with needless, useless, pointless drivel I'm pretty sure it's not the 299 of us who read the social situation wrong.

Not too bashful to stand up and cheer, but get thoroughly annoyed when other people can't sit still or feel the need to draw attention to themselves. Another example would be, like, if you have the game on in the background at a social gathering just so people can keep an eye on the score or whatever and somebody has to scream or clap obnoxiously because some teenager they don't know put a piece of rubber past a 23-year-old they don't know. Like, ####in settle down, guy.

Music concerts...well I'm kind of old now, but younger years I was a big mosher. Not sure if you know, but I lifted Leslie Feist onto the top of a mosh pit at a Smalls show at Mac Hall, so I'm kind of a big deal. Nowadays I'm more of a sit there kind of guy, but I lurk behind the mosh pit. I'll sing a long to my favourite bands, though, but not in a way that draws attention to me and away from the people on stage because I'm not a narsasist.
