Even has the bonus that you can then pretend to mock the other person for not getting it.
Only downside is that it doesn't work if the initial "joke" lacked any semblance of humor, but I'm glad you're coming in and white-knighting for rye. I'm sure he appreciates it.
On a real question though, I saw you're a fan of Atlanta United, so wondering if you're out my way. Not really sure though since you've got a pretty eclectic fandom (BYU, Atl United, Pittsburgh Penguins, Kentucky basketball). The others kind of make sense of just gravitating to winning teams, but Atlanta United is new enough (even though they've also been good) that I figure you have to have some sort of Atlanta connection. Plus the former name leans Atlanta as well. Not a lot of other CBers out by me, so glad to see you.
