Yay!

I'm changing my avatar.

But there are no boots in this one, just a ball!

True, but "Utah Jazz boots" didn't yield a lot of results, this is the closest I could find.

May I ask, and please forgive my ignorance, what's this all about? I Mean, I'm getting basket-ball and I'm getting Jazz.
Kinda like three bean salad and strawberry ice-cream on the same plate?

The Utah based professional basketball team is called "The Jazz" (they were originally based in New Orleans, but moved in the 70's to Salt Lake City). And they now have a guaranteed spot in the NBA playoffs.

And I'm a rabid fan.

Aha! So, you are a fan of rabies with a keen interest in the history of a local basketball team. I see!

Like soccer/football hooligans without the rioting.

oooooh! them's fightin' words! ( )

??? The history of your local basket ball team is like football hooliganism without rioting?
Oh, I get it. You're a fan of rabies who, unlike some football fans, doesn't riot.

She started it.

Finished it too it seems.

hey, I dig basketball, but you've got to admit that the jazz scene in utah is kind of lacking... I haven't met many hipster mormons (and I've spent plenty of time in utah, arizona, colorado, and texas,) ... I'm sure they exist, but it does seem kind of contradictory, no?

Oh, ouch.

May I soften the blow with a little love?
