thinking I was going to read about baseball players actually throwing each other under buses.
No, that would be Carl Everett.

I tend to buy myself presents for my birthday. Like, a computer! Which, in the process of stockign with software, I discovered that I could download iTunes for free. In fact, I had to, because it was bundled in with Quicktime.
It is to whoa. Rafael Palmeiro attempted to throw his teammate Miguel Tejada under the bus. And failed.

Polish typists must be the most nimble in the world. Typing names like Rodziewiczowna and Przybysz all the time could only make you very dexterous.

Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.

When I worked for Waldenbooks, Little Warsaw was just down the street from the mall, so we had a lot of Polish people frequenting the store. Quite a few of them signed up for the frequent shopper card, but since errors were frequently made by the staff when typing the info into the system, I'd occasionally call in to the office to have them correct the entries. Once, I had a stack of over 50 entries to correct, and the operator I spoke with (in Ann Arbor, MI) was flabbergasted over the number of people with multisyllabic last names ending in "ski."
Oh, and this is for brenda m and all the other Chicago dog owners out there--Chicago is Dogtown USA (as determined by Dog Fancy magazine)!
I'm sad about the bus not existing.
Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.
I was in the same mental place.
As was I.
