A sign of things to come?

[Quoth The Chaos]

So I found a Super Bowl XXXV lighter laying around my house... it didn't feel like it would spark but there's still some fire in it! I'm not really superstitious, but I thought that was really cool considering how excited I am for this season. I think our team is gonna be great, and all signs point to that becoming so Sunday after Sunday this regular season and beyond.

Yep and it doesn't feel like there is any fluid left if you shake it, but it still has a good usable flame. I'm gonna save it, maybe use it if we get another one. Or, I could just keep the flame alive forever... that would be kinda wicked lol.

Save it, that's some good symbolism right there. If we win the SB, light a cigar with it, exactly ten years later.

This could be the longest-living metaphor in ravens.com history.

Really? That'd be pretty cool lol.

Here's a pic of the lighter, sorry for poor quality I used my phone.

If you're wondering the blue text says Tampa Florida across the top and January 28 2001 along the bottom.

That's interesting. My mother recently gave me a Ravens mug, I flipped it over and the year on the bottom was 2000.
As far as Ravens lighters are concerned my girlfriend and I no longer use them because they have given us bad luck in the past as far as the team losing.
It's interesting all the weird superstitions fans have. I have quite a few, for instance regarding this site, when I click on the pictures to open the news stories I make sure not to click on a player in the image because I feel like it means they'll get hurt.
Sounds crazy I know...

Lol. How did you get a plus one for failing basic math?

[Quoth The Chaos]

Bump for the continued existence of lighter fluid (and, therefore, fire) in this Super Bowl XXXV lighter ...and because of an amazing job by our Ravens of soundly beating the Chiefs today in all three phases, for four full quarters
Yeah the Chiefs came out strong the first half but we weren't fazed by them or their crowd.
We simply took care of business.'Nuff Said.
On to P-burgh!
Cheers
