So Vortex, did you say you volunteered to take the surly teen?
No, I offered to help dig the hole to bury him in :)
But if he would like to visit DC, he's welcome to my couch for a few days.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was born in and currently live in NYC, my father is from Boston, and yet I have no strong feelings about baseball at all.

Hil? Really? Aw man. Yes, Hil is on "the list".
Hey! No! My comment was mocking the Red Sox fans!

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
Crackerjack sounds AMAZING.
It is! It used to have more peanuts and better prizes, but its still pretty amazing.
Did we mention the prizes?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
They are the rudest in all of baseball
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Hell no, if one of us gets to use your couch it will be me!

I would propose the Mets fans for that honor.
I'm off to spend the weekend with the family in Nashville. Whoopee.

I will refrain from mentioning how Red Sox players are the rudest while I'm at Fenway.
Vortex, I've copied your basics to my ipod so I can seem like I know what's going on when I'm there, thank you! Now I'm hoping it'll be one of those games where there's loads of extra innings. Fun! Baseball zombies!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My dad learned his baseball etiquette in Chicago. When he tried transplanting his commentary to the Durham Bulls stadium he got a few looks. I don't know if it was a geographic difference or if it was more of a league thing. Are fans nicer in the minors?
I grew up in MI watching the Tigers suck. In fact, it was a Detroit Free Press sports columnist who introduced me to the phrase "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory," in the context of a Tigers game. I'll watch the occasional baseball game sometimes, if I stumble across it while channel surfing, or if a group decides to make a Bulls game a thing. But I don't seek them out.

I just reserved the Scion xD zipcar for driving my broken electronic stuff to electronics recycling on Saturday. I'll see how I like driving it.
