Pio, I know this isn't actually related to the roleplay, but I still can't figure out what 'celebrating with the white sox' in your address part means. What is soxs? They don't say on the dictionary.

EDIT by Pio

The White Sox are a baseball team and as of a few weeks ago, the winners of the World Series here in the U.S. Originally they called themselves the American League Chicago White Stockings (their whole uniform was white including their long socks).

The word 'Sockings' in their name was shortened to 'Sox' and the name stuck.

And here's probably more than you wanted to know: There was also a National League Chicago team called the White Stockings -- they became the Chicago Cubs (and will win the World Series in 2006!

)
