Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

But the most exciting part of my weekend was on Sunday, when I met James Howe--author of Bunnicula! I am happy to report that he is a totally great guy.

Jilli will be so jealous!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hobson's choice

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hobson's choice is like, Would I like to be beaten to death by an avalanche of yo-yos, or die in a terrible Zamboni accident? Either way, death and indignity, so it's not much of a choice.

What is there to dislike about the White Sox?

Hey, my dislike is totally rational. The catcher is a shmuck who looks like my old (hated) boss, and they wear black socks despite being called the White Sox. On that basis alone, they deserve only pity and contempt.

Also, I think Garland and Buerhle both are riding lucky streaks rather than being truly as dominating as they seem. A win's a win any way you get it, but it's much more fun to watch a win well-made than one pulled out of the hindparts of Fate.

Thanks, DX.

All I care is, does this mean more baseball preemptions on Fox this week?

Change of season is screwing with my head. Either all congested or my eyeballs start to raisin. Uck.

I'd rather be my cats today.

Actually, there will probably be fewer this week, because the Sox-Angels series is done, although Fox will probably just replace the games that would have been with reruns.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Would I like to be beaten to death by an avalanche of yo-yos, or die in a terrible Zamboni accident? Either way, death and indignity, so it's not much of a choice.

Ah, yes, but if you are killed while riding a Zamboni on the field of battle, your death will have honor.

It will be glorious!

The evil is this way?

I want the White Sox to take it all. It's been since 1917, right? Their fans have waited long enough. And next year? The Cubbies.

Oh, sure, now that the Red Sox aren't cursed any more, you want to rid all of baseball of the curses. *g*

Narrator, what does Hobson's Choice mean?

What DX said.

I do. I'm magnanimous like that. We could have a whole new batch of curses for other teams, though.
