This is a great idea for a thread, Nerfy. They should erect statues in your honor.

Tonight, I was at this particular concert. (SIDE STORY!!!!!!! I got into the event for free because I had previewed the event and took today's paper with me and was all like "LOOK AT THIS STORY I WROTE IT LET ME IN DAMMIT" and they were all like "OKAY LEMME SEE YOUR ID" and I was all like "OKAY SURE" and then I went in.)

At that concert, the lead singer of the second band started to tell a Star Wars joke. He said, "so Admiral Piett is hiring this guy to oversee construction of the new Death Star. He has an Englishman, a black man and a chinaman."

The young lad pauses, looks at the crowd and then back to the bar, where the management has their arms folded.

"Oh shit," he says, "I can't tell this joke because it's kind of racist."

The crowd boos excessively, intoxicated fists pumping in the air.

"No no," the guy says. "Let's just say it ends up that everyone hates the black person."

THIS IS IT, I think to myself.

I look around, sampling the crowd to see if the time is right. After the immense booing, the crowd is engaged.

My fist begins to pump.

"U," I tentatively say, peering around the crowd to see who will be the second to solidify the chant.

"S," I chant a little louder and much more proudly.

"A," I finally erupt and continue the chant most boisterously.

"USA! USA!" Over and over I chant, my fist pumping higher in the air than even birds would care to fly.

Within the third chant, a third of the room is chanting. The fervor of my chant increases exponentially with each round. More and more people flock to my rallying cry.

Within 10 chants, everyone in the bar/venue was chanting along.

I was never so proud of myself.

I am very proud of you, Nerf. Very proud.

I have started a couple of fine chants in my day (anyone remember "Monkey on a dog?") and chimed in ("Cupcake! Cupcake!," "Plas-tic pee-ple *claps*," or even "Sonic Bloom! Sonic Bloom!" a while ago) and now I'm thinking that a USA chant needs to happen next.
