you know how sometimes little kids will get so excited that they'll just like thrash about--like they're feeling so much visceral emotion that their body can't contain it. 

that's how I imagine the city of philadelphia feels when they win the super bowl and tear down a light pole and parade it around the streets. like they're so overcome with pride and joy for their community that they destroy some of it and wallow in its destruction. 

you just don't see that kind of communal ritualistic behavior anymore and I think on some level that's a shame.
