exactly, it's fucking stupid cuz you don't know wtf it's referring to.

"The Cobs". wtf.

and regardless, a reference to "The Cubs", or "The Bobs", is fucking stupid.

I just assumed it was for a sports team, anybody who follows sports just a little and doesn't huff paint will fucking get that "the cobs" is a reference to the Chicago cubs...

and for the rest of us that don't give a fuck about baseball, it means nothing.

Hell I was standing outside of Wrigley field a few weeks ago and never would have made the connection.

No it doesn't. I'm a baseball fan and even "the cobs" is so vague and short that it could be misconstrued as many things.

I lived within a few blocks of Wrigley field for about 5 years, dodged their drunken fans on a daily basis during those seasons, was that drunken fan on several occasions....and "the Cobs" never would have dawned on me as a reference to the Cubs.

I thought the Cobs referred to the cops! You needed Chicago in there to refer to the so sports team.
