That's pretty funny. Had to close it before it before I got sucked in to playing at work.

People are making me crazy.
About par for a late Friday afternoon.
David,
I am so caught up in the Hamlet game! damn.
Oh man, the Hamlet game. I got stuck in that AGES ago, and never went back to figure out the ending. I think Juliana did, though.
I signed the lease on my new apartment. I am so relieved.
I think Juliana did, though.
Yep, and here I am playing the game all over again, anyway.
YAY BON!
WOO HOO!!!! AWESOME AWESOME BO BOSOME!!!

Right next to Josias Manzanillo. Who was Josias Manzanillo, you ask?
Well, on April 8, 1997:
The Mariners were ahead 12-8 in the seventh, a large but hardly secure lead, not against Cleveland and not the way Seattle had been pitching.
Manzanillo ran in to get the final two outs in the inning. Then in the eighth, with Jim Thome on third, Manny Ramirez ripped a ball up the middle.
It hit Manzanillo in the crotch so hard it knocked him off the mound. He scrambled after the ball, had a shot at Ramirez at first, but turned instead toward home and threw a strike to Dan Wilson to get Thome.
Then he collapsed on the AstroTurf, in a silently supine position as his teammates rushed to see if he was still alive, let alone productive.
After they realized he would live, they urged him to get up and run back to the dugout.
"You need to run off the field," appealed Ken Griffey Jr. "The crowd is just going to love it; they'll go nuts."
And he did. And then he spent three days walking around with a ruptured testicle before the excruciating pain finally got him to a doctor, where they removed said gonad.
Let me recap:
- Hit by line drive in the meat and two veg
- Ruptured testicle
- HE STILL MAKES THE PLAY TO END THE INNING
- HE WALKS AROUND FOR THREE DAYS IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN THINKING IT'LL WEAR OFF
- Has testicle removed, continues MLB career.
Josias Manzanillo is the poster child for wearing a cup.
Yay bon bon!
Why do I continue to check the tropics? Maybe it wouldn't look so bad if I knew more, but it doesn't look like fair weather ahead for my area. [link]
