THE DETROIT LIONS

While walking around downtown the other day, I came across these lions arguing. Seems they were about to play basketball but they each wanted to play with their respective basketballs. The were hissing and snarling at each other;and the language the were using. Finally, I had enough. "Have some 'pride' I screamed." "They'll be her shortly," they retorted.

    a marginally dangerous imagination. It helps me remember that it's better to be a little crazy than be considered normal and boring.

    Now, who's going to pass over the ball first?

    Or, if you've seen the movie about Coco Chanel (Coco Before Chanel), you could say it is two Leo women arguing over which dress to wear!

    I think I have to have the sports gene (which I do not) to entirely appreciate this post but I get the gist of it. You've been quite creative with your anthropomorphism.

    I think the Lions play football. No wonder they were snarling. Confused! MB

    Oh no, soccer playing lions... true story: there was a dog toy company that made a ball advertised as "indestructible" in the catalogs. Lifetime guarantee! Money back! Then, one day, someone gave one of the balls to a lion....

    I'm not a sports person except for SEC football but I remember well that everyone we met while we lived in Ft Lauderdale was from "somewhere else", mainly "up north". Your title made me laugh.

    'Have some pride!'=great pun. I'd feel kind of nervous walking in or out of the door between these guys.

    Oh, and is that the 'mane' entrance?

    I would have coded them as "playing."
