Yikes! What a horrible way to die.
Former All-Star pitcher Mark Fidrych suffocated after his clothes became entangled with a spinning part on the truck he was working on, Massachusetts authorities said Thursday.
He was lynched by a driveshaft.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Also, what's with the spate of baseball deaths?

Um, WHAT.
True story. He said he couldn't issue the check because my husband wasn't there. We had a very serious chat with his supervisor.
How are you feeling in the homestretch of the pregnancy?
Belly huge. Shoes unreachable.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That's when I turned and said, "It's got an inline six, you moron. I'll be damned if I'm buying a car from a guy who a) can't pull his head out of his ass long enough to speak to the customer and b) doesn't even know what he's selling."
If Cass ever gets hold of a TARDIS this will be one of the first ten or twenty things she'll go and watch.

One of my coworkers years ago was about your size, Sparky. Late in her pregnancy, her husband was out of town for a week. She'd come to work in slippers or barefoot and get her boss to put her shoes on her (why she didn't have more slip on shoes, I don't know.) We learned this when he left a meeting early saying " I have to go put Betty's shoes on."
NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR GMAIL TO TELL ME IT IS UNREACHABLE.

Our wings are not tired.

As with everything in baseball, I blame both the DH and Bud Selig.

Maybe it's my crime fiction background, but maybe Designated Hitter *is* as scary as it seemed when I first read it.
