Long has it been proved that you don't have to be a nice guy to be good at baseball, and A-Rod is good at baseball.
And is by all accounts a nice guy.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it's funny EVERY TIME someone says "col-bair reporr."
OMGyes! At first I was like "repor? WTF?" and then after it was repeated enough times it became the funniest thing ever.

The network that carries the Daily Show in Canada hasn't picked up the Colbert Report yet. (pout)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I'm quite sure I could find more than a few serial rapists who turned up at Church every Sunday and were quite good and singing the hymns.
and sometimes, they were the priests leading the service.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it's fair to say that in any organization made up of people, most of them will be good and some of them will be bad. And a very few of them will be evil.

That's true Jessie. Now, we all have to decide who's what in our offices. If you don't think that that there's anyone evil in your office -- It's YOU.

Hee! Luckily, I am EXCELLENT at judging other people, and can always tell that I'm the good one.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
And is by all accounts a nice guy.
Well, he left behind a couple of Texas Rangers who weren't wild about him, and the snipe-fests of this spring were not nice on either side. I suspect he's just the most awkward, overmanaged man this side of Tom Cruise, and if you could sit him down and get him talking about his beanie baby collection* he would be a pleasant conversationalist.
* No, I don't actually have any idea what his hobbies are.
In other news, hey, if your upper back suddenly stops functioning, so that you have to breathe through stiffness and can't stand up from a chair, that is back spasms, right?
Cause I am having them, and it is not cool. Advil is really the only recourse at work, isn't it?

What is even happening?

That's a pity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you could take the people out of religions, they might suddenly get a lot more perfect.
Much more pointless, but it's a balancing act.
