Though it would be funny as hell the other way...
That would make them real get-to-know-ya corners.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That would make them real get-to-know-ya corners.
That reminds me of a lovely small moment I saw at the A's/Red Sox game on Monday -- somewhere around the middle of the game Jack Cust got his usual walk, trotted to first base, and gave Kevin Youkilis an affectionate little ass-pat as the two of them laughed. I think they were saying, "I like to walk! Do you like to walk? We're walk buddies!"

In Milwaukee it's the Beer Barrel Polka.
And the Sausage Race!!! The bratwurst should always win, btw--it is Milwaukee, after all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought tennis matches were like a library. Death to talkers.
That's about the players, not the audience. If they can't hear you, I've never seen the audience members throw a fit.
Don't know about golf. Never been.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Another rule about baseball -- If the two teams have the same number of runs after nine innings, they play extra innings until one team is ahead at the end of an inning. In other words, no draws.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yay for MM awesome phone interview skills. Tons of interview~ma for his Monday in person interview!
Um, I apologize in advance for the asscaps...
AM I THE **ONLY** YANKEES FAN IN HERE?!?!
:: sigh ::
Guess I gotta start a list like TheAdorableOne has.
At Fenway, also, it's perfectly acceptable to shout out "Yankees Suck!" at any random time, even if they're not actually playing the Yankees that game.Hil? Really? Aw man. Yes, Hil is on "the list".
DH makes me shout "Yankees Suck" at random intervals when we're not watching baseball, so I'm fine with that.Jars? You too?!? I feel betrayed. :: sigh :: It's tough when your team is the Evil Empire. I had one computer buddy look at me astonished when he found out I was a Yankees fan and say "that's like saying you love Microsoft! I thought you were a Mac-Man?!" Cracked me up.
Jars, you can talk during the game, no worries. Careful of some of those crazy BoSox fans. They are the rudest in all of baseball (followed close behind by the Yankee fans). Some will get mad at you for talking. Just smile, and tell them to bugger off.
Vortex, that was a fab basics of baseball!
I really wish I had heard the whole LoTR/Baseball thing. Sounds like it would have been divine.
ION- in an effort to log on to Twitter more often to keep up on Shir posts, I've added a bunch of y'all. Same screen name as in here.
IOON- have yet to find any motivation to do anything at work today. Is it Friday yet???

Our wings are not tired.
So Vortex, did you say you volunteered to take the surly teen?
I like the Yankees. I did grow up in NY state and most of my family are fans.
