What Is Your Reaction to Fleet Week?

Much the way Intel Chris finds himself involuntarily gasping, "oh, HI!" to cute dogs when he sees them, he also has a very similar reaction to seeing sailors in their lower-quadrant-hugging "Shore Dress." Anytime a gaggle of sailors walks by during Fleet Week, instead of saluting, nodding, or even showing respect by getting out of the goddamn way, DI Chris gasps: "OH MY GOD, FLEET WEEK" — even though it has now technically been a few days that we've been privy to the spectacular front and rear naval access here in NYC. Anyway, surely there are others of you who have involuntary crotch knee-jerk reactions to this most celebrated of weeks. Please let us know how (and who) you've felt in the comments.
