Bills fans in Athens

[Shaw66]

I broke out my blue Bills polo shirt to wear to the Acropolis today.  Through the mobs of people, an excited Buffalonian shouted, "GO BILLS!!!"  We're everywhere.

Hope you're having an amazing time in Greece.

I was down in Belize recently, at the southern tip of Mexico. 

I drove a golf cart 40 minutes down a potholed, crocodile surrounded dirt road to a place called Secret Beach. It felt like the edge of the earth. There was a bar there, though, called the Blue Bayou. I walked in to get a drink, and what greeted me, prominently displayed on the thatched wall? A custom made, full sized flag, with the Bills logo and the words "Blue Bayou BLZ. World's Biggest Bills Fan".

We are everywhere.

I know of a Bills fan who used to be in Athens. I lived there from '86-'88.

It. Was. Awesome.

I keep searching in my inbox and I can't find the invitation to go to Greece with you.  Maybe I deleted it on accident?

Are you going to Crete, Rhodes or Cyprus? I have been to Crete several times and Rhodes once on deployments back in the 2000s and both were amazing places. I would LOVE to get some fried goats cheese in Crete or the souvlaki pita in Rhodes again... highly recommend either

Eww gross.  Watch our for the shifty orange people.  Last time I was up in Greece Ridge Mall area I was harshly confronted by a gang of track suit wearing Jersey Shore look alikes for the offense of simply asking directions to the nearest gabagool.  The kid with the blowout and wife beater informed me that I should not mess with him because his cousin Antony is a "friend of yous",  which I understood to mean he is connected with some sort of criminal organization, and he will come whack me off upside the labonza.  Understanding only about 5% of that exchange, I attempted to diffuse the situation by giving them all coupons for Spray Tan and complimenting their girlfriends mustaches and made my departure.  A charming Snooki looking gooma tried to throw her tampon at my car as I drove away to a more civilized part of town.  I returned home without gabagool and several coupons poorer.

Yes, I am.  I thought about not posting, but I realized that a LAMP would be an upgrade for the forum these days.

You’re not kidding old wiseman Shaw.

    I don’t want this to devolve into a political tit for tat but it just goes to show…..

    There are good people in every country😜😎

In May I was in Germany for a couple weeks.  We were in Kiel, way up in the north on the Baltic Sea for a few days doing a boat ride.  Some kid on a cold, gray, windy day wandering around near the harbor area was wearing a Bills baseball cap.

 

I looked at him and said "Buffalo Bills!" with a thumbs up.  He smiled and gave me a thumb's up.

 

I really do think these fans are lurking everywhere.  God only knows why!  Well, at the moment, we do have a very exciting team, when we're really on.

 

Playoff Josh 2 year ago was devastating.

Very little sports clothing in Europe, except soccer stuff.  Ive seen one Cubs hat, a few Yankees caps, and one Chiefs Super Bowl tee shirt.

If you can't do a humble brag post when you are at the Acropolis in Greece, then when can you do it!!
