Bandwagon Jumpers

Wick. "Just give me a taste"; he glares at me. It has been a long day, a long one indeed. But, the day proved to be smbolic in a way. My friend, "Wick", wears a brand new Boston bruins hat. With the upcoming December schedule for the young Boston team, their popularit could continue to grow on the media circuit.
Before last season, no one in my family ever spoke of the team, winning or not. When the games were playing in the kitchechen not a question was asked. Now, with the current Bruins record of 7-1-1, the games are mentioned by my mother and father. This is the proof that the media crowd is jumping on the bandwagon.
Upon walking into the hat store, my good friend Wick was full of mall food and well dressed for the occasion. The black shoes laced to his feet embelish a lime green logo. His tan pants match the hunter green and tan plaid shirt he wears on this rainy day. Around his neck hangs a St. Jude mdeallion. His gold chain tops off his ginny mick look. Now he needs to complete his uniform, and into the hat store he goes.
As Wick walks through the doors, he turns to his left. There is almost a whole half wall of new Bruins hats. Wick looks at the display of Boston pride, and with a curling corner of his mouth say's "See, this is for all the bandwagon jumper's". He ended up buying a nice hat, a real big yellow "B" was offset on the left die of the hat.
